As so many stories coming out of the UK now, I found this utterly baffling, until I figured out it’s not a chicken box of convenience, that you don’t need a knife to eat, for some reason distributed by the UK Home Office, but a chicken box of anti knife crime messaging. Though that is still pretty, pretty baffling.
(I did figure out it had something to do with violent crime, but I thought the idea was to encourage people to go without knives in their homes completely. And – I don’t know, maybe it is, I can’t make out the text. But probably not out of convenience of the chicken box.)
Facebook comments:
NH: It has been controversial because it appears to target blacks. Who, as we know, like fried chicken.
Sam Hardwick: I want to say you’re joking..
NH: Nope.
“As we know” is a joke, the rest is based on reading English papers.
GK: That’s indeed been the logic of the Home Office…
