yes, straight swords over 50cm. are benign and not dangerous, and can be imported into the UK for now - they apparently will become dangerous in the fall, while curved ones are dangerous if they are not 100 yrs. old. and cannot be sold, imported, or loaned, unless they were made in japan, prior to 1954 or made by traditional cheap mass production techniques. they figure this will save at least one political career, and possibly even keep a tatami mat from getting badly damaged, so it's worth taking away our rights.
