It's illegal to carry anything in Public in the UK that could constitute an "offensive weapon" - meaning "anything intended or adapted to cause harm to another", without reasonable excuse. This does not include self defence reasons. You can have any (non) firearms weapon you like in your own home. The UK law says simply that self defence must be "reasonable" in all cases, and that what is reasonable shall be decided by a "reasonable third person or jury".
However, since most of the public here is fucking pig sick of being robbed, beaten and abused, "reasonable" is increasingly resembling "give the criminal a fucking good beating", which personally I consider to be progress.
but didnt they make it really hard to get swords?
