Sales Of Aluminium Baseball Bats Up 5000% After UK Riots

Aluminium baseball bats aren’t the only weapon of defence that’s proven popular on Amazon UK — wooden baseball bats are also up by 3600 per cent; military police batons up by 5000 per cent and the zumba DVD workout set is up 342 per cent, which probably isn’t related to the UK riots of the last few days.
