  you’re gonna need some evidence of intention

  We have a legal age of 18. Some people make porn that is “barely legal”. The intention is to make that illegal. The evidence is in the article.

  Performance art.

  Anything in the UK carried for the intent to harm another person is a weapon. I do lots of low impact woodland/forest work. Axes, saws etc. in my bag. If I carried them to a Birmingham park to murder someone they would be weapons and not allowed. If I carry them into a woodland I have a contract to manage, they are tools and allowed.

  These extra rules/laws don’t change the above. The swords could still have been outlawed as weapons by the legal system.

  But… doing this means the perl clutches can sleep easy knowing “something is being done”
