That is the setting when we get the setting that three girls in Southport are killed. Sir Keir Starmer has vowed to end “shockingly easy” access to knives online. And that  is it? Well we do know that the 18 year old Axel Rudakubana is jailed for 52 years, so ho might smell the fresh air of freedom on his 71st birthday. We are given “Axel Rudakubana, who has admitted murdering three young girls last July, bought a knife from Amazon when he was just 17, despite existing laws which prohibit the sale of most knives to under-18s.” As such some would blame Amazon, but that would be wrong. There is merely one person to blame Axel Rudakubana he and him alone is to blame. The BBC article (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y6x45w6ejo) gives us a little more, but nothing substantial. Just another politician looking in the wrong direction.

So as we realize that Amazon was not the problem, we should be weary for something more. You see, below we see a simple online setting

And we see a simple online shop selling knives (among other stuff). So this place Kitchen Warehouse, sells the knives that allows the slicing of a throat, piecing the heart and more rudimentary actions. The setting it that this is a simple $9 utensil knife (in lovely colors). So how useless are the thoughts of Keir Starmer Prime Minister? And the principality of the matter in this case is that he forgot about simple supermarkets. Aldi, Asda, Co-op Food, Lidl, Marks and Spencers, Morrisons, Oseyo, Sainsbury, Tesco, Waitrose and Partners and a few others. As far as I can tell, they all sell utensil knives. So what will he do then? A useless gesture from the moment he opened his mouth. And as we are given “Amazon has said it takes its “responsibility around the sale of all age-restricted items – including bladed products – extremely seriously” and has launched an investigation.”  I get that this is the response of Amazon, but what evidence is there that Amazon sold him the knife? Because he said so? Optionally his mummy bought it and he ‘lend’ the hardware. And the Telegraph pretty much confirmed my thoughts on this 12 hours ago. And at that point when the parent saw the knife delivered in his/her hands there were no questions? I think that there were a few screw ups and none of them are in the hands of Amazon. 

So let’s just consider option 2

A cool knife, The Matato, a cool looking knife that will immediately make a killer look much cooler. Most likely a lot more expensive, but watch it is 70% off now. So this knife is likely found in kitchen supply stores. So what if the 18 year old bought it under the story that it was a present for his mummy, would he have gotten away with it? Oh, and for the mention. I have seen knives being sold in supermarket and no identity papers were due, or were they? In that case the supermarkets have lists, right?

Is the puzzle coming in view? Keir had a lousy moment and he vented through ‘ending things’, but the only thing he vents is the end of his career. Do you think that the hundreds of online store like this path? A path that is a bad ending to an even worse beginning. 

So good luck Keir, and just to be clear, the setting of this was clear in minutes, I never had to come up with a party to blame. The one to blame is now serving 52 years. And then the setting of Amazon, so what evidence has been upturned? Well, I reckon enough as the court case is done, yet as Keir was giving us the line, there are a few issues and I haven’t seen any documentations. I am not saying they aren’t there. I merely wonder what is. Even with the setting that we can get knives from supermarkets, the line “vowed to end “shockingly easy” access to knives online” comes a little short, especially in sight of what needs to be done.

So have a nice day and try to relax.
