You can't make this up.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer just announced that he’s going to “crack down” on violent crime… by banning ninja swords.

Yes — in a country plagued by surging knife crime, disarmed citizens, and woke policing priorities, the government's grand solution is to ban ornamental swords that you’re more likely to see on a movie set than a mugging.

And yet again, the people of Britain are being treated like children by a government that couldn’t police its way out of a paper bag.

Here’s the truth: violent crime is exploding in the UK. 

Over 50,000 knife-related offences in a year. 

Gangs ruling city blocks. 

Police are stretched thin and focused on “hate tweets,” while real crimes go ignored.

And Starmer’s government?

They’re not locking up repeat offenders.

They’re not fixing broken courts.

They’re banning movie props.

Because it’s never about solving problems — it’s about controlling you.

Besides, this latest ban is part of a larger pattern in the UK: disarming the population while crime runs rampant.

Can you carry pepper spray in the UK? No.

A pocket knife? Illegal.

Defend yourself in your own home? Good luck — you’ll be the one arrested.

You are not allowed to defend your life, your family, or your property — and now, you won’t even be able to own a decorative blade in your living room. 

Orwell would be laughing if he weren’t already rolling in his grave.

The complete disarmament of the law-abiding population is just one of the many reasons why smart, freedom-minded Brits are quietly planning their exit from the UK— before it’s too late.

If you’re in the UK and see the writing on the wall, read this important letter to find out Expat Money can help you with your offshore Plan-B. 

Speak soon,

Mikkel
