If the conditions at the Mexican Border are so deplorable, why did they leave their homes in the first place.  That's rhetorical.  Of course they left for the "free stuff".  At home they would have to work for it.

Victims of domestic violence will have their kitchen knives replaced with blunt utensils to prevent their partners attacking them in their own home.

Nottinghamshire Police are piloting the scheme where around 100 ‘no point’ knives will be handed to victims who have either been threatened or attacked with a knife.

Police are concerned about the high level of knife-related incidents that happen in the home, and are hoping the new scheme has the potential to save lives.

Domestic violence knife crime makes up more than 17 percent of incidents reported to Nottinghamshire Police.

In 2018/19, out of 900 reports of knife crime, 159 were related to domestic violence.

Superintendent Matt McFarlane, the new knife crime strategy manager for Nottinghamshire Police, who is overseeing the scheme, said: “We do see a fair amount of knife related incidents in domestic abuse not just on the streets.

So they're going to give victims knives that are useless to use to defend themselves, where the criminal will have plenty of time to grind a point on theirs before showing up.

Brilliant I say, absolutely brilliant!!!  

If this doesn't solve their knife problem then nothing will.

"There are none so blind as those who will not see."

The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know. The proverb has been traced back in English to 1546 (John Heywood), and resembles the Biblical verse quoted (above). In 1738, it was used by Jonathan Swift in his 'Polite Conversation,' and is first attested in the United States in the 1713 'Works of Thomas Chalkley'..."

Sounds like this "truism" began in England and is still applicable today.  "Oh, when will they ever learn? Oh, when will they ever learn? Where have all the young girls gone, long time passing? Where have all the young girls gone, long time ago? Where have all the young girls gone? Gone for husbands everyone. Oh, when will they ever learn? Oh, when will they ever learn? Where have all the husbands gone, long time passing?".  Peter, Paul & Mary - Where Have All The Flowers Gone

You can't admit to the real problem being  people, therefore the "government" (government is your idiot neighbors that can't solve their own problems, and you think they will solve yours) go to great lengths to waste time and money to pretend to solve the problem without "offending anyone.  Politicians cannot solve problems, they can only make them worse since they are incapable of admitting to the real source.
