[@laurabarrett1062]

THANK YOU! For taking time out and nearly missing your flight to get a picture with me. My friend is raging she didn’t get to get a picture. We joked about it for the three days we were in Manchester saying “imagine we met syndicate” thankfully we did. You couldn’t have been nicer and I can’t wait for my tshirt to come❤️❤️❤️

[@MrIKILLYOU212]

Joel Matthews loooool you got some balls mate

[@jackwilczynski6957]

I loved the,”By the way, Ken is my dad... and he’s a wizard,” it was great

[@Bryanxq]

"Alright, time to flee the country" 😂

[@tylergran1]

*Ships it to America* *Gets arrested for being an International Arms dealer*

[@nathanm9189]

rip

[@Annettesfirearmchannel]

No true at all. You transfer guns and fires arms you just have know how to do it. I guess you think people who go hunting in Africa buy their guns there ?

[@Extremexboxplayer]

ah yes i was wondering when a good example of someone missing a joke would show up

[@ThatChickRebyTTV]

So said police won't go any further with the guy who hit your defender but will mess you around with something that isn't actually a flame thrower as it doesn't spit out flame as far as an actual flame thrower... ok what a bunch of wankers

[@andrewdavis8917]

Tom you handled this situation in the best way possible

[@jdkreamer]

another odd thing is it’s funny that they wanna do something about your not a flamethrower, did they ever go after the crazy trucker that ruined your defender? i mean both things were plainly in video as “evidence”

[@Ciro56ful]

thedizzle 27t what happened with he's defender?

[@jdkreamer]

Son Goku he was with his mom and sister and this crazy dude driving a huge box truck bent the crap out of the front bumper and smashed the fender and that bumper if i remember correctly was steel, if you ever see a video where he gets a shot of the front drivers side the corner of the bumper is missing bc it was bent out so bad, i think he had it cut off so it looked better and wasn’t so dangerous

[@Ciro56ful]

thedizzle 27t i understand,but doesn't Tom have an insurance for he's defender?

[@ZombieNerd300]

I think the police just want the “not a flamethrower” because they don’t have one. 😂

[@marcM98]

good on him for standing his ground and not just accepting what the original police people were saying

[@KoldenKosmer]

Just paint the tip orange. Then it’ll be fine

[@jeremybabin7435]

Kolden Kosmer that made me laugh harder than it should've.

[@2009razza]

Nice to meet you yesturday Tom, I was the guy in security 😂 Hope you get the flamethrower stuff sorted!

[@Sammerramher]

Maybe the UK police should focus on the drug epidemic and theft epidemic instead of a good man with a not a flamethrower....

[@kiragoe]

Not to mention the knife crime epidemic right now.

[@OutcastFoxx]

don't forget the screwdrivers

[@joem8069]

Wouldn’t be ideal getting arrested....would be cracking clickbait though

[@AidanJokes]

Colin Furze makes a mobility scooter with a flamethrower and no one bats an eye lid..

[@jman3110]

It’s just a cool looking propane torch... the most ridiculous law/situation

[@xXMcrreloadz]

Why are the Manchester police wasting their time on something that isn’t a flamethrower when a couple of days ago there was a shooting in Manchester not too far from Toms local area where people got hurt from it and nobody’s been effected by this not a flamethrower. Surely that is more important than taking a collectible??

[@robertlloyd4851]

I can so see Tom Sat on his front lawn in a deck chair with a cigar and a bottle of whisky in a stained tank top holding the flamethrower like 'morning' waiting for mister weapons expert to rock up 😂😂

[@robertlloyd4851]

I know, it was just for jokes 😂

[@robertlloyd4851]

OK, I probably should have said imagine 😂 oops 😂

[@robertlloyd4851]

Whilst playing the song burn baby burn 😂😂😂

[@adamrowland1265]

FYI I was behind u on that flight and I was the guy who was going to let u go infront of u when we were getting off but u let me go in front , like ur content , keep it going

[@thedestroyer3262]

Honestly if you take the plastic housing off it the "not-A-Flamethrower" is just a gas canister with a tube leading a a open flame/spark= fire, it's nothing special and if you wanted to you could get a bigger flame from a can of hair spray and a lighter.

[@goonber7869]

The flame size is purposely short because of legal issues (in the USA I assume anyway)

[@dankk2754]

British police be like: OI U AV A LOICENCE FOR THAT BUTTA KNIFE

[@minusdagreez8817]

American police be like bang bang ..black man dead

[@lewis1864]

Everyone needs to send this video to Elon Musk.

[@harbirpanesar9702]

‘I got arrested’ Tom’s social blade will be on a mad one 😂😂😂

[@DaaSkill]

Truly my question is, how in the world did the “not a flamethrower” even get through our customs just to then complain at the usage 😂

[@ConnorEtch]

Luke Jones I assume it had paperwork explaining exactly what it was. (A glorified weedwacker) which is legal. But obviously the cops don’t know what it is as they haven’t done their proper research which is understandable considering it’s an American made item made to look like something it’s not.

[@whateveryoutubr6578]

at uk customs , they deal with literally millions of packages and dont have the time to investigate everything. they may pull a few thousand items a day but thats it. if they had searched the package , they would have investigated it back then

[@lukejones6853]

Ayyyyy same name

[@DaaSkill]

not my real name soz bud xD

[@lukejones6853]

Luke Jones you’ve just ruined my day 😂

[@YouMrFosterTube]

Wow if only the police responded and acted so quickly to real crime issues... and maybe get some real weapons off the streets.

[@Sh0tD0wn]

Never give your rights away freely. Nice move tom. :)

[@ghostshrike]

Jesus, him explaining this story reminds me of a time when I was 2000 words short on an assignment and I had nothing to say

[@tipressed]

Guy was threatened in my local pub with a shotgun (don’t know why) but the police have spent longer dealing with the flamethrower than they did with the shotgun guy!

[@leejackson9054]

Ffs it took 10minutes to burn a mini figure of icing I have seen more dangerous matches 😂😂

[@LAGxZombified]

Lee Jackson ever heard of trees, bushes, forest fires...

[@leejackson9054]

kangaroobollocks in England no

[@leejackson9054]

kangaroobollocks plus if your on about it could cause these it's a weed burner 😂😂😂

[@LAGxZombified]

Lee Jackson there was literally one in Manchester (in the outskirts) like a month or two ago lol

[@dylandajhharwood5566]

If it got through customs, it's legal. They can't take it away from you tbh.

[@OfficialWinterBand]

The amount of people in this comment section giving legal advice with literally no knowledge of UK law is incredible.

[@OfficialWinterBand]

01892_dad I too have an LLB, although I'll have to concede you have me bested there.

[@georginacat7667]

OfficialWinterBand bested?

[@OfficialWinterBand]

georgina cat Yes, the past tense of the verb 'best'.

[@georginacat7667]

OfficialWinterBand you learn something new everyday... perhaps this is why im a QA rather than a lawyer x

[@GTixXxMODxXx]

the "Not-A-Flamethrower" is just a weed burner in a plastic shell lol.

[@oneday1459]

I had no idea Tom TALKED SO MUCH lol... I was starting to get dizzy haha... He could have been an attorney lol... The glass case for the "modified weapon" is EPIC... love it

[@jansenma7]

I bet it's not even a neighbour who reported it. it's a jealous viewer who called anonymously out of spite

[@jamesdavies4994]

No fun allowed.. Not even on your own property. Not good, our laws are ridiculously strict! Truly unbelievable by how they can just search our homes and confiscate our items like we are children!

[@brandoncowmeadow7077]

OMG "ITS NOT A FLAMETHROWER" AS SHOWEN ON THE BOX AND THE WEED BURNER GUN WISH YOU ALL THE BEST TOM

[@rorymcginley5388]

If I call a tank, a 'Not a tank', it is sill a tank

[@jkwelsh_]

Tom didn't choose the thug life, the thug life chose Tom

[@bigfish4965]

you should buy a tank now

[@braedenfitzsimmons]

Hey I work on a laser engraver and can engrave absolutely everything. I could create a case for it that says whatever you want. I could also engrave a metal plaque to put on the case

[@Czlvinn]

The police have much more other crimes to fight against and they decide to come attack you for a weed burner 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ lmao

[@ahmadawadallah975]

Tom I died when you said “it’s time to flee the country” 😂

[@lewisrose4620]

Police are not allowed to enter your building without a warrant. If they are saying they will arrest you just to enter that's not allowed. If they were to arrest you and enter with no warrant. You can get them in alot of trouble

[@mephii1684]

Lewis Rose a lot

[@isharpedge8469]

If you get to keep the not-a-flamethrower, the story behind it is going to make it so more special :P

[@gabelourido7367]

Fanfapstick truee

[@concretemixer3018]

In 100 years Tom's house will be a museum

[@jesstatro9788]

Glad the situation defused, i hope everything works out Tom! Good luck!

[@willfinch6801]

A “fire” arm 😂🔥🔥🔥

[@jamesmason8758]

England has some of the strictest gun laws on earth why does this surprise everyone

[@xtremedrifter3853]

james mason because it isnt a gun, its a modified weed killer

[@sumthinscottish7850]

james mason I love how Scotland caused guns being banned in the UK and caused alcohol being banned in the UK at sports events

[@gravendanger]

SumthinScottish I mean alcohol really shouldn’t be allowed at sports games, have you seen how aggressive fans can get when they aren’t drunk

[@sumthinscottish7850]

gravendanger yes... have you seen the video of celtic vs rangers fans that caused alcohol to be banned?😂😂

[@stanislavkotlyarov3018]

Hand gestures on point

[@hollyd9104]

I think tom might have been arrested for the 'not a flamethrower'

[@matthewmcmullan9669]

Haha, this is why we love your blogs Tom causing drama 😂 hopefully you get to keep it as the glass break box idea sounds awesome

[@DanBennettOfficial]

Your title reads "The Police..." which, which the capitalized 'P', makes it seem like the band 'The Police' wanted to arrest you. But that's fine. Because every step you take, every move you make, I'll be watching you 👀

[@UnstablePyro19]

Tom can't have a not-a-flame thrower but yet Colin Furze can put a flamethrower on a mobility scooter and nobody bats an eye

[@RyanStonedonCanadianGaming]

UnstablePyro19 *It doesn't look like a gun...* Here clearly Tom says that the "code whatever number" was about it being a gun shape and having been modified to have a noxious gas. Colin Furze just grabbed materials to make a tazer/blowtorch(pilot light)/flame-thrower (not a continuous flame either.) (Still gave you a like (it is kinda funny if you view it that way)

[@jimboss1982]

That state of the law in UK such a joke, funny how they blantly bullied you to try and take it away from you. Would be nice if they put this much effort into fighting other crimes

[@harrywilliams5753]

I keep on thinking Tom is denying that it's a flamethrower when he says "not a flamethrower" 😂

[@izz_goo]

I mean, by definition it's definitely not a flamethrower so...

[@nicholasclemons7213]

Manoliman by definition it’s absolutely a flame thrower.

[@nicholasclemons7213]

Manoliman “ a mechanical device designed to shoot a long controllable flame.” While I don’t see this is a threat, saying it isn’t a flamethrower is outright wrong. And he doesn’t live in a country that bans flamethrowers.

[@izz_goo]

Weed Burners are not flame throwers. Flame throwers throw ignitable liquid. "A weapon that sprays out a long stream of burning fuel" The "not a flame thrower" is just a weed burner in a gun like housing. So it's just a big scary torch. Hence "not a flame thrower"

[@nicholasclemons7213]

Manoliman where did you get that definition from, every definition of flamethrower I found says nothing about that

[@michael-kf1ec]

its mental how this story has blown up but its good to see Tom handle it well :P

[@danielmcel9309]

Drinking game, every time Tom says "Play Ball" take a shot.

[@ednaish4249]

we need to let Elon musk see this video tom!

[@georginacat7667]

Ed Naish " let him" what the f

[@ednaish4249]

make him!

[@natewesselink]

That's what happens when your government is big brother and you have to ask permission for the smallest things.

[@anthonymessenger7574]

natewesselink this is what happens when your country is safe.

[@darraghconnolly3737]

It does throw flames to be fair. Some countries don't allow potentially lethal weapons bro🤣

[@natewesselink]

Anthony Messenger if you think the UK is safe you need to step out of your bubble mate.

[@anudeepk7579]

100 times Safer than USA lol

[@natewesselink]

Cloud honestly the majority of the us is safer than just about anywhere in the world. You remove 4 cities from the us and it's the 4th safest country in the world

[@thtrygy3504]

Yet, COMPLETELY OKAY, to have a can of hairspray and a lighter....

[@JRandomTv]

RyanThePatrick lol

[@WigglyCoop007]

Drinking Game: take a shot for every time Tom says "Play Ball"

[@TheGibshome]

So what would happen if you shipped it to the US, and had it at your American house? Would they be able to seize it then? Probably not. Could you imagine “Extradition of ‘Not-a-Flamethrower’ “

[@calewong5804]

Nothing against the UK but I'm glad I live in a place where I can own a "not a flame thrower"

[@MrPrayerSlayer]

Life of Tom Drinking game. Take a shot everytime he says "Playing Ball".

[@KoldenKosmer]

MrPrayerSlayer or escalate

[@shahadathkhan713]

The real problem is the person that snitched on you😈😈😈

[@jimbobalicious4510]

Shahadath Khan so.... technically himself.

[@losh3836]

This not-a-flamethrower debacle is really becoming a hot topic XD

[@321RrelyT]

Toms favourite place at the minute is the Airport.

[@tjbrower]

I just listened to a 17 minute ramble about a 5 minute story.

[@Scotty2615]

Just a normal day with the *not a flamethrower* lol

[@Lghfdghu]

"Play ball" counter =999 Gud vid tomm

[@bobyice381]

It must be weird to talk to a phone on your own for 10 minutes lmao. Loving the vlogs tho!

[@dummyhaloruler6525]

I'm glad that you found a level ground with the police, and glad to hear that you're actually going down that path of trying to keep it as much as possible cause it's really is a collectible and just to have it mounted on the wall would be absolutely amazing.

[@altiusjames5786]

i'm waiting for elon musk to comment " Poor Not billionaire peasant"

[@GhillieDomain]

tom they've got "ACTUAL" civilian use flamethrowers in america, just get it disarmed for UK . In the U.S its called the xm42.

[@nextous69]

right? as an american the "not-a-flamethrower" is just silly because.. it's not an actual flamethrower with our standards

[@lewis9988]

I don’t know why but when you said “time to flee the country” it just made my day. Been a fan since the minecraft project ❤️

[@alfiegood783]

i hope everything goes well for you tom

[@sjcmapex1577]

The amount of times he says "play ball" 😂

[@jamescornish3164]

If he was arrested it would make great content though😂

[@alexogara35]

I dont see the problem with the police its not a flamethrower

[@teagoodsir1734]

as soon is he brought the law into this they shit themselves and came to a reasonable and legal agreement

[@danzeih]

Rip dude, just stay safe and don’t let them get in the way of your life

[@Mrstreet1999]

If it comes under the air soft thing because it looks like an offensive weapon, can’t you just put an orange tip on the end of it literally just like an air soft gun in the UK? Heck just get someone to 3D print one and clip it on so it doesn’t even damage the thing.

[@ConnorEtch]

No because they thought it was a modified air soft gun, meaning putting an orange tip on it would make it even more dangerous. Example "Oh look he has a bb gun, that wont do much" *Proceeds to fire flame out of gun* Disarming it would be much better as the police would then be aware that it can't function meaning no cause for concern.

[@Mrstreet1999]

connor etchells I can kinda understand where you’re coming from but that’s not how the law works in the UK, there initial problem was that it ‘looked’ like a gun... therefore an orange tip one which is implemented on thousands of gun like toys and airsoft rifles should suffice, look at 5:30 in the video to see.

[@septemberstarlight9362]

the thing is though. It’s basically a deodorant can and a lighter in a fixed unit, looking at the size of the flame, and aftermath of fire, (it could barely burn a cardboard cutout, as a real flame thrower would coat the area in burning liquid). and that’s the only reason they’re interested in it. If someone wanted to assault people with fire, they’d have just as much luck with a small, handheld gas canister such as deodorant and a lighter. But because it’s in a frame, the police suddenly go bloody mad over it.

[@TheNeilwiz01uk]

so wait i can get a bus home with a weed burner or a massive propane torch but he cant have this in his house? LOL

[@bolivnog]

"not-a-flamethrower"... mate make it into a water-gun! then it really isn't a flamethrower :D

[@mobilegaming5134]

I love that even tho tom is rich af he cares about this so much

[@Holty2k6]

we should all tweet this video to Elon Musk so he can help out with this

[@Toineuchiha]

Holty2k6 That would be so cool

[@armed1234567]

Gets fast internet installed at his house, then goes travelling and can't upload the vlog ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@wouterbo1]

Guess Who's Back I guess he is arrested 🤔 rip daily vlog D:

[@LetsBakeAJake]

HAHAHA YOU'RE KIDDING ME!!!!!! ALEX IS MY COUSIN! LEGIT! Been watching you for years Tom!!!... this is the weirdest most amazing thing! hahaha Small world!!!

[@GeorgiaMarie98x]

CL4UGHT0N that’s awesome 😂

[@andy11894]

how is this a issue but all the "flamethrowers" that colin furze makes are fine in both cases they are all glorified weed burners

[@3DTyrant]

It's good to know that the situation was deescalated. I hope you are able to get it disarmed, and are allowed to keep it and put it up on the wall.

[@cherudon5310]

I dont think either party is wrong sadly. But as it is... if it looks like a gun(flamethrower) they have to treat it like one apparently

[@Arkay777]

Is anyone else annoyed at the corner of the room being rounded?

[@Andy-nu1dw]

if the Not-A-Flamethrower is allowed in the UK and your lawyer says its OK to keep it then you don't need to get it disarmed. You don't need to make the Police happy

[@ChakatNightspark]

even if you get arrested outside your house, if your doors are locked. they would still need to get a warrant to even enter your house.

[@seano2210]

No they don't.

[@seano2210]

Section 18 of PACE.

[@KumaBean]

'Reasonable suspicion' is all it takes.

[@JohnSmith-eb2ik]

No they don’t, if he was arrested immediately outside of his house, it could be searched under section 32 of PACE, for items relating to the arrested offence. If he was arrested away from his house, it could be searched under section 18 of PACE with an inspectors authority

[@justjoshingya504]

In america there aren't any real laws or "gun control" on flame throwers. I'm pretty sure they only thing regulated is the distance and type of fuel for it

[@Mystickrage]

honestly not really a m14 flame thrower made in 1940 is legal and you can use its fuel just to use it you need to be trained in fire saftey and cant use it much unless in private property away from others

[@SparkyBreaks]

Tweet at elon musk about it lol

[@itsdeonlol]

The police needs to talk to Elon Musk...

[@ethanch3011]

Tbh, they're more obessessed with Twitter than anything else.

[@mydeadnancalledxxxtentacio7465]

Deon Spates I agree. Tom isn't a specialist but Elon Musk will know much more about the not a flamethrower.

[@Skkyyyyyyyyyyy]

Don’t they have acid problems??? Why are they bothering with a “Not a flamethrower”???

[@velasco333]

Flamethrowers can do damage to people and buildings and spread so a flamethrower is more deadly then acid

[@tigernorris635]

But it's not a flamethrower, it's a blow torch. Have you ever seen a real flamethrower? This puny thing won't do shit

[@jexanpitcher8036]

20000 of those not a flamethrowers are pretty rare considering there are 8 billion people.

[@_superintendent]

jexan pitcher it is rare that anyone would buy one gor 500 too

[@_superintendent]

So its not really rare

[@HomeGamerProject]

Colin Furze made a granny scooter with a flamethrower on the bottom...

[@HomeGamerProject]

ah ok, fairs

[@0rbas]

Im glad that you are on ground level with the police, but what i'm thinking is that they may think that if you have a party and everyone gets drunk, it could end badly with the flamethrower.
