RE: We have guns. The Brits disarmed themselves. Too bad for them.


Even their “police”——
“most police officers in Great Britain do not carry firearms as a matter of routine. This is an intentional and foundational aspect of British law enforcement, based on a philosophy known as “policing by consent”. The police instead rely on specially trained armed response units to handle situations where firearms may be necessary.”

It’s a policing model for a polite, generally decent society. Alas...

Yeah. The Brits have a squad that shows up armed with MP5’s.

Blue and yellow police cars in the UK.

Not very intimidating. The situation in the UK is beyond bizarre but they did it to themselves. Crazy political system where by it seems a minority gets to form the majority government all the while Bonnie King Charlie, the inbred lay about and resident tourist attraction has the power to abolish the government and at the same time he's supposed to just be a ''figure head''. At least that's how I understand it. And incidentally they're begging us to help them- again. Recently one of their notable female ''pundits'' said on one of their talk shows "America, just invade us, please! Just take us over!'' Never thought I'd live in a time where the British people were asking us to ''invade'' them. History in the making.
