I want to make my own rools too
April 24, 2008
My new rule is I don’t believe it’s practical to pay taxes. I prohibit taxes effectively immediately!
The UK Government recently decided to ban the sale, manufacture, hire and import of samurai swords. While there are some exceptions to this general ban, we don’t think it’s practical to enforce a policy based on these.
The sale of samurai swords on eBay.co.uk will therefore be completely prohibited when the new law comes into effect on 6th April.
Regards,
The eBay Team

In fairness to eBay (yeah, yeah, I know… :-p ) the UK law is a bit of a hash. Fake swords are banned but non-fake swords are not banned. I guess the government here are just trying to pacify martial arts people, because as far as I can see, if an angry person is trying to chop your head off, it doesn’t make the slightest bit of difference whether he’s using a fake sword or the real deal.

LOL Sue. I’d be more afraid of those with cleavers! They can get closer to you and shank you. Someone packing a sword you will see them coming a mile a way
