I think the kitchen knife deal was about the clincher for me when they suggested banning all kitchen knifes because they could be used for violence in the street. A police officer had to clue them in that carrying a knife around that large was already illegal! :rotfl:But they still wanted them banned anyway!!!:rotfl:They have got to be the worst news organiation on the planet!

I seem to remember they were reporting on some people wanting kitchen knives banned not calling for them to be banned. Then they ran one of their have your say things, which isn't the same as calling for kitchen knives to be banned.
Is this the article?

Can't see the BBC calling for a ban here.
Also How can the BBC be profit oriented? It is paid for by a license fee. We all pay £130 pounds a year and this is used to fund it. The BBC doesn't have advertising in its programs. It doesn't get revenue from advertisers based on how many viewers they pull in. Yes they can and do sell production services and programmes but that isn't the same thing.
