Smile Sword law UK

Hello,
My first post on here just thought i'd clear up some of this law rubbish.

1st of April 2008 All fools day.

All samurai 'type' swords will be banned from SALE within the UK and from being imported upto 5 years in prison for breaching this.
You have until then to get the sword you want.
I have a Sword shop in the midlands of England have been in contact with my Member of Parliament 'for what it is worth'.
Yes there are exceptions for collectors and martial artists.
The proposed idea is genuine swords from approved Japanese Forges.

This means No Paul chen, Hanwei, etc as these are not made in Japan so are cheap inferior copies as decided by English polititians.

Sorry for the bad spelling but as you can tell i am rather annoyed.
Need more info get it touch.
I cut myself more with paper BAN IT
