Quote:Burnley stabbing update: two women seriously injured, one local man arrested.Burnley Express:
'Police have confirmed two women were stabbed inside Burnley's Marks and Spencer store this morning.
Two women received injuries which are thankfully not thought to be life threatening at this time.
They have been taken to hospital for treatment.
A police spokesman said: "Police officers were quickly on the scene and a 57-year-old local man was
arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and is currently in custody.
"A knife has been recovered. Police enquiries are ongoing but at this stage this is believed to be an
isolated incident. "Patrols will remain in the area as reassurance through the day.
Anyone with information or concerns can approach an officer."...'
Since the UK has thoughtfully taken care of their gun problem, what Britain needs now, it appears, is some commonsense knife control! You know, something like limiting knife purchases to one per month, only to persons over 21 years old, and with the obligatory background check and of course the proper course of paperwork. Maybe attach a 200 pound sterling "transfer tax" to every knife sale as well...

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
