00:00It's a massive issue, it's horrendous, it's alarming that people even have to have the

00:05conversation. I don't know whether that would necessarily make a difference but anything

00:11to make it in discussion I think is a good idea.

00:14I've got rounded edged knives and I don't know whether that's safer or not. I certainly

00:20can still cut my fingers on a regular basis, I know that's not, you know, I'm not trying

00:24to belittle the topic. I don't know what kind of stab injury I could do with that blade

00:29just because it's blunted. It's still a blunt instrument, it would still do damage. I don't

00:34know whether it does less damage, in which case, fine, let's push for it. I just don't,

00:40I've not seen the evidence either way.

00:42It's stopped the stabbing part, hasn't it? Because if you've got to stab somebody around

00:46the blade, it ain't going to go in them, is it? It's going to bounce off me, isn't it?

00:48You come and stab me, he's going to bounce off me. Come and stab me, it'll come in me,

00:51what? I've been stabbed.

00:53I like the monster dines that you see, the zombie dines. It should be outlawed completely.
