But these days people don't want to have a go in case a robber has a weapon.

Not so. People fear prosecution.

What does “poppy-wearing” mean. I read the story to find out, but it never says.

God bless him!!!!! He’s a WW2 survivor and tough as nails! We just lost my FIL who was a veteran in the UK. He shot down Nazi planes approaching the coasts. This is a truly, incredible generation. They appreciate the fight for freedom and have not forgotten. It was my honor to play for a Remembrance Day Service at a local cathedral. It was a moving experience and I was filled with pride - even tho I was American.

A standard view of the streets in the USSA after Nov. 4, 2008.

Good on him.

But he best get hiself a good barrister. You see, he tackled the guy. In other words, he assaulted him. The evidence is on the tape.

Gramps is looking a a couple years in the pokey. Such is the state of things in (formerly) Great Britain.

Get ready for the same here, if the Obamessiah wins.

I expect the pensioner will be charged for assulting the robber.

But spokesman Tim Jackson said: “It is, however, dangerous to do this and our priority is safety of the public and staff.”

Typical Nancy response of the modern police authority. They're jealous because an eighty year old is doing a better job than the police.

"...our priority is safety of the public and staff."

Arresting and prosecuting criminals is the best way to ensure the safety of the public and staff.

It shouldn't be left to octagenarian veterans to do your job for you.
