Give up

Give up n00b, you aint ever gonna be Jack Thompson so just GIVE UP TRYING!

wait a minute

shouldn't this have already been done anyways, if a person has a hostile weapon, wasn't it already a law over there that they can't be holding a weapon? btw, if they do this, they'll need to specify on what counts as knife, well people will just use what is legal even if they ban it, if not army knife, then dinner knife, then comes butter knife, and finally all else fails pencils. ALSO stabbing has been around even before games and has always been trouble, so don't blame it just on games alone. stupid thompson wanna be

UK1984

they banned guns - gun crime is on the rise they're banning knives in public - knife grime will rise I feel sorry for you UK peo... screw it, no I don't. You brought this on yourself. Enjoy your sorry, pathetic lives when thinking for yourself gets banned because you could be plotting to hurt someone.

It's all about votes, votes, nothing but votes...

Do they really care? Of course not. Kids don't vote. Parents do. If all the electro votes are from under 18 gamers I bet you each one of these games will be rated E and include a big bucket of blood now.

I don't think it's all about votes, nothing but, when he did not require any "votes" to become pm.

The rise is gun/knife crime correlates more to do with permitting the capital city to become infested with third-world people/*****s, not decent wholesome games such as manhunt... but let's all give heed as to what our democratically non-elected prime minister has to say...

they dont get it

what they dont get is that they cant ban anything. you can tell the world that theres going to be a ban on knives, but if the public wants it, theyll find a way to get it, just like drugs or illegal weapons. so dont blame it on the games

Lawl

Gud Luck Gordy, It Will Happen Anyway, O N BTW, Anyone Played Manhunt 2? That Game Pwnz Hard, LMAO xD

Don't even pretend to have a *****ing clue

The U.S has a far higher rate of gun crime per capita than the U.K .Why? Because they're easy to get. To get a gun in this country you'd have had to have nicked it from the miliatary. Guns have been fully banned since 1996 now (before then only handguns were legal with a liscense) and that has not caused an increase in gun crime. Get your facts right before 'feeling sorry for us' and for all the people hurling abuse at the guy. Read the bloody article. Is he saying he wants censorship? No he isn't, he's simply saying that he believes the game industry has a responsibility to the general public, which they do, as does any industry. He's not blaming the violence on the games, he's blaming it on the legality of knives that have no use but for violence.

get a grip

shut up and tell me, are chavs *third world people*? are hoodies *third world people*? no, their all british nationals, so dont blame on other people, blame it on yourself. third world people come to this country to make it work right, cos people like you cant do it.

@ Finnaz2

indeed. i dont get why those dumb teenagers keep on pretending they know everything... but let them be, the higher you climb, the harder you fall.

The idiot (non)-elect

Brown is a prat. He complains about crime but refuses to pay the police their independently reviewed payrise. The man has no control over anything - he's just lumped us with a 24 billion pund white elephant in Northern Rock for Christ's sake. I ignore anything he has to say about anything - he shouldn't be in the job in the first place, and wouldn't be at all if he hadn't bottled out of the election last year. On topic, anyone who is persuaded by a video game to commit an act of violence wasn't right in the head anyway.
