Prime Minister of the UK, Gordon Brown, expressed concern over the content of video games, especially those with knife-wielding characters. As part of the Prime Minister's Violent Crime Action Plan, Brown looks to lay down a total ban on knife use - a view shared by other parties - and may be hoping that the game industry will also do its part. He said:I am very worried about video and computer games. ... No one wants censorship or an interfering State. ... But the industry has some responsibility to society and needs to exercise that.
He stated earlier that authorities must send out the message and reinforce it with action. There was no mention of similar action to be taken against other portions of the entertainment industry, but there's a possibility that some will crop up soon.
The Prime Minister has yet to lay out his full plans for the zero-blade tolerance plan, which will be revealed by Home Secretary Jacqui Smith sometime in early February. Developments as they come in.
