Scott Mann MP on Twitter: Every knife sold in the UK should have a gps tracker fitted in the handle. It’s time we had a national database like we do with guns. If you’re carrying it around you had better have a bloody good explanation, obvious exemptions for fishing etc.

Silent Witness, Season 27 Episode 3 "So, do you have a cause of death yet doctor?" "Yes, I believe the victim was spooned" "Spooned?" "Yes, since the Mann bill prevented the use of the knife, we have a seen an increased prevalence of other cutlery related incidents; I've seen two forkings, a whisking and a particularly nasty spatulisation" "Awful, doctor, just awful" "I think the worst was the young chap who was trepanned with a wine bottle opener" "You mean a corkscrew?" "No, it was one of those air pump things. Caught the chap who did it though. Left some residue of a Lidl Pinot Noir on the wound" "Terrible!" "Not really, it's only 3.99 and really quite drinkable"
