This is amazing!!! There are people currently pissing on your brave soldiers graves and they are not us! As a matter of fact they are the same people that hacked Lee to death.

Look, let's ratched down the rhetoric. Of course we appreciate what you have done after 9/11 and of course we would help you if you needed it again.
Let me say it this way: Maybe in light of the fact that it took 20 min in ... LONDON for the police to respond, the approapriate answer from you should have been "maybe we ought to revist the armng situation" NOT to tell an ally not to come here.
Fratricide will never help us.
I am happy to tone down the discourse, I am just angry and shocked at some of the vitriol and sneering directed at the UK on here over the last 24 hrs by some posters.
Police?. The armed police took 20 (actually 14m it looks like). As I havs said, I actually support more armed units and more officers arms-trained. But not an all-armed police force. It is still not necessary. As a Brit, I can tell you that. If it was necessary, I’d be the first to say so.
As allies not coming here, I have explained that. If people go to any other country, they must respect the way of life, even if they dont agree with it. If some Americans find the UK way of doing things so appalling and dangerous, then it would be best to stay in the US. I dont want Americans coming here and lecturing us, anymore you’d want us to come and do the same.
This is the UK.
For all our faults, we still do most things pretty well. We are still a country worth coming from America to visit, work in and live.
