Thanks for the ping.
Two things England can do (but won’t) to right itself: bring back guns for the populace, and kick out every Muslim.
As usual, you get right to the heart of the matter, Catherine.
Why should we kick out all the Muslims?.
The vast majority of UK Muslims are decent, law abiding people who follow their faith and are not terrorists or extremists. And what extremism there is is in certain hotspots: London, Birmingham, Bradford, Oldham. There isnt any Muslim extremism in Scotland, NI, Wales, and many parts of England. The Scots-Welsh-NI muslim communities have worked hard to make sure of that.
We didnt kick out all the Irish because of the IRA, did we?. And they have been killing us for decade upon decade....
As to guns, whilst the gun laws of 1922, 1968, 1988 and 1997 were imo unnecessary and/or stupid, the argument to bring back guns dosent wash.
Why?. Simple. The British public, contrary to recent and popular myth, have never been a gun owning public. The highest rate of ownership was 1.6m legal weapons in a 60m population in 1996, just prior to the 1997 handgun ban. The majority of the UK has never held a gun, let alone owned one. And even in ‘olden’ times, we were never gun owners.
Thats why, right or wrong, the UK public never railed against the gun laws, and even in the case of 1988 and 1997 supported the bans.
And btw, it IS legal to own guns in the UK: rifles and shotguns and certain types of handgun, as long as they are licenced.
