Mr. Green should put a hood over his head and continue with the photography.

Yobs not Muzzies. Now if we could just turn the yobs on the Muzzies.... Instead of them tormenting the natives

[bmwcyle]

Guns, knives and not the terrible camera. When will England dump those liberals?

[Melchior]

Police are police and have a particular mind-set. Following the October Revolution in Russia nearly all members of the Tsarist secret police, the Okhrana, joined Dzershinsky’s Soviet secret police. Don’t say it couldn’t happen here.

This is a joke, right?

Only the government is allowed to photograph citizens. What a crock.

Once again, their (our?) “Betters” know what’s best.

[R. Scott]

Europe has had a long tradition of making the common person dependant on their “betters”. Before the use of firearms England encouraged - demanded - that peasants own and be proficient with the long bow. That ended with the advent of firearms.
Now they’ve gone to the extreme. Mere peasants are no longer allowed to defend themselves, even knives are outlawed. Their “betters” claim to know what’s best, and the peasants have accepted it.

I saw a show on early firearms. Evidently back in the 1500s right after the very first firearms were invented there were already attempts to implement gun control.

Things go in cycles, the complete prohibition of weapons for the peasants has occurred in many places throughout history. It always seems to occur shortly before a violent period and a change in government. hmmmmm

[Gritty]

Get used to it, Mr. Green. Good subjects don't make waves.

And by the way, turn in your kitchen knives and cricket bat along with your camera...

[TChris]

This is a joke, right?

Sadly, no.

What's quickly becoming a joke is the rule of law in Britain.

[Lancey Howard]

England, lol.

[R. Scott]

I’m afraid the next change of government for England will be to an Islamic Republic - and the peasants will let it happen.

Only BIG BROTHER has the right to photograph you in Englandistan.....
