Here is the news....

Yes, but it wouldn't be considered one if you are just wandering around and were stopped and searched, but anything with a blade that isn't less than 3inches and folding is inherently considered an offensive weapon.
The policeman that first alerted me to the fact that my leatherman multitool counted as one said that it would be an arrestable offence and would then need to be justified at court (or persuade the CPS that it isn't worth taking it to court)

I think that just says it all about those we employ as policemen...

"Holy f---, she's covered in blood. The shark bit her arm off. Where is the rescue team? She's going to f------ die," panicked Russian tourists can be heard saying as they film her in footage on social media, according to reports.

Errr how about putting the camera down and trying to help...............

I think most shark attacks are in shallow water. They move sideways better than up and down. Shallow water gives the prey less room to move.

Most sharks that attack people are surface scavengers a surfer looks remarkably like a sick seal! Bull sharks are the ones that deliberately enter shallow brackish or fresh water for prey animals drinking. At one stage and probably still true there were estimated to be more deaths from Bull sharks catching humans in these circumstances in Africa than any other species.

Sadly another person has been killed in the same area.

There is a link being made to a freighter that was taking cattle and sheep from Australia to the area that dumped all of the animals that had died en route into the sea so attracting more sharks to the area.

A story they've used since the 2010 attacks.
