LONDON — London police are urgently investigating how armed protection officers guarding Mayor Sadiq Khan left a bag of guns outside his home.

The Metropolitan Police said in a statement late Friday that five officers had been removed from front-line duties while inquiries were being carried out.

The weapons cache, which according to The Sun newspaper included an MP5 semiautomatic Heckler & Koch ­carbine, a Glock pistol, Taser and ammunition, were found in south London Tuesday by a couple, who then informed the Metropolitan Police.

Who knows? Nothing surprises me anymore. They should be hiring people like Tommy Robinson to run their police departments. Instead, they pay people to go on every social media platform they can, and on Wikipedia, to characterize him as a ‘far right wing’ racist. How wrong they are.

If it wasn’t for all the normal people who will be hurt by the pinheads that populate political office, I wouldn’t care - as they would get what they deserve. But they have and will continue to hurt people.

Is their a British version of Door Dash?
Maybe that’s what happened.
Nobody answered the door to provide an appropriate tip.

The politicians are protected by men with guns.

The common people don't have that luxury.

It being London and all, I assumed someone found a box of sporks. If I found an MP-5, I might be forced to have a fishing accident.

They have to investigate how people leave a bag? I think it involves “setting it and forgetting it.”

I wonder what the sentence will be for the couple who found the bag of guns and reported it.
