British Police Keeping People Safe

Soon they'll be coming for teacups.

The brits have a long history of horrific spoon violence.

Did anyone dare suggest that they allow citizens to carry spoons for self-defense?

Silly American, the Brits aren't allowed to defend themselves.  That is a job for the government.

It is a throwback to the days of the large spoon formations that helped the English defeat the French.

The Brits are just proactively preventing this:

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Yes! Simpsons!

Since I heard about this I'd been wracking my brain trying to figure out where I'd heard of "knifey spooney" before...

My entire knowledge of pop culture exists almost entirely through Simpsons references.

And, since I haven't watched it in 15-20 years, that's probably why I have almost no knowledge of modern pop culture.

Spoons bad.

Me mudder used to swat me with a big wooden spoon. This usually followed after she called me "Terr-ANCE!"
