“The mayor Hilary Beach called for a Rifles regiment not to carry their weapons because it might encourage gun crime.”
The same way pens encourgage the writing of bad checks.
What a freakin MORON. This is what you get when Left wing dingbats run the show like a bunch of 7th grade girls.
Agreed, but I might suggest that an awful lot of Kindergarten girls are going to have better sense than this stupid woman, as she has obviously bought into the entire Socialist agenda hook, line and sinker if she is making such a brain-dead proposal. She probably wants to ban cars because they "cause" highway deaths. A proud product of Nanny-State Socialism.
Regarding the elimination of the cannon-firing elsewhere in the article,
A spokeswoman for the Met confirmed they would not be firing the maroons but would not comment further.
Whenever Leftist bureaucrats come to the realization that they've done something incredibly stupid and wrong, they never apologize and reverse the policy, they just refuse to comment further and assume that the outrage will die off.
