I wonder if there is a chance of an amnesty for flashers and they get paid for handing in their raincoats?

... and if vetran was in Russia I'd make it so that he got drafted even if he had medical exemption (cretinism)...

I was kept in reserves for the unlikely scenario that shauhbhoy's Indian Tactical Group manages to get close to Moscow.

Isn't it good time to run the first Official CUK Sockie amnesty campaign?

Oi SupremeSpod, you ought to know - have they outlawed all long rifles like 0.50, 0.338, 0.308?

Next they will come after silencers and night vision scopes

Well shotguns and various other firearms are still legal with various stipulations so probably quite a while.

Exactly what I was going to post. Clearly we share the same entrepreneurial spirit

"Compensation for lawful owners ranges from £2 to £5,105 for each item - but the total value of a claim must be at least £30."

So one would have to have the whole lot then -

£2 for a knuckle-duster
£5 for a disguised knife
£10 for a zombie knife
£14 for a blowpipe

31 quid.
