Civilized country???????????? Just cause he’s a Brit does not give hem the right to look down his nose at the country that kept England fom having to speak GERMAN not once but twice, he shows a lot of gall!!!!!!!!!!!
Relax - he’s just expressing an ironic thought. Britain’s “civility” has led it to disarm all but its burgeoning criminal class, who grow ever more emboldened as citizens are relieved of any reasonable means of self defense, up to and including sporks.
I think you just don’t appreciate irony. Relax, that is good English humor!
