Have another coffee. There are several points, not just one.
1) for all it has lost in freedom, British society, and individual Britons, are not “safe” from crime
2) the police can’t/won’t/don’t protect you, even in ‘nice” neighborhoods and
3) “gun-control” has failed as has the surveillance state.
- for starters.
Why let facts get in the way of a good story, eh? These murders are news because murder is still relatively rare in the UK, and even more rare in England and Wales specifically.

Okay I get it. Everbody knows the line”if you outlaw guns only oulaws will have guns”. Saw a picture of the poor murdered girl on Sky news. She was very good looking. How some guy could shot in the head is very sick.
