See below for link to the UK government's response to the petition on swords
- I'm not sure what the relationship between this proposed act and the act
in Scotland is, but perhaps the mists will clear in due time...

In the meantime let's keep using our swords to dance over in public, and
hope that a definitive test case arises.
