WTF is happening in this country?

Lots of people running round Hyde Park with massive knives on Tuesday. One stabbed.

Time to give everyone a gun - that'd deter 'em. What a Censored -hole London is... Neutral

Unfortunately, not. That would mean I could also go round with big knives and/or a machine-gun!

Having spent some time in the US, I can assure you that the right to bear arms does not make for a safer and less violent society.

Having said that, the petty aggressive “what are you looking at” type behaviour that wasn’t uncommon to witness when I was young and out and about drinking at night, was far less prevalent. Or so it seemed to me.

That is truly shocking. What is it with people and videos in portrait mode? Bloody Apple users... Twisted Evil

As for the story, not that surprising. Giving them all guns won't help, of course, as our cousins in the land of the free could attest (if they weren't all so scared of everything).

It isn't happening in our village.
Among our c.40 houses are 50 registered firearms, apparently.




* I don't think the fact it isn't happening in our village is due to our rather high gun ownership btw! Wink

It’s all down to policing. They are concentrating too hard on upsetting peoples feelings or beliefs instead of cracking down on crime. Also, most older police are leaving the force and the young don’t stay long. It’s a terrible institution so I’ve been told by a few police friends I know.
 You remind me of a younger me, not much younger mind...perhaps even a little older!

A relative of mine in the Met put it this way: in the "olden days" when the gangs were all cockneys, it was easy-ish to get an undercover policeman into a gang - turn up at an East End pub in some driving gloves and a Daimler Jag and tell the landlord "My name's Bazza and I 'eard someone woz lookin' for a good wheel-man". Today, gangs are split along lines of race / nationality / family, making it much more difficult to infiltrate. The language aspects make it almost like encrypted communications. There are very few Russian / Romanian / Nigerian / Somali / etc., cops in the UK to go undercover. A lot of the gang stuff is a proxy war for clashes abroad.

I bet these "new" gangs don't luv their Mum, neither.

Its a bit peeving: when I was ten, every one of my friends and me had a sheath-knife on our belts; someone standing chatting with a broken 12-gauge was nothing worthy of a second-glance; half the things we did with dis-assembled cartridges would be terrorism offences these days.

Its generally the older cops I have respect for: experience; wisdom; pragmatism; discretion. The younger ones seem to think they are the Big I Am because they are dressed like Robocop.

On the other hand, we've now got people saying that keeping illegal immigrants in army barracks is inhumane, how does that make the soldiers, sailors and airmen feel? Their home away from home is classed as not suitable for illegals.

Makes me cringe.

It wasn't the fabric of the buildings that was contested (although I wouldn't like to think of our soldiers being subjected to them) it was forcibly cramming everyone in together in the middle of a pandemic.

England 

Watched the illegal guy giving an interview through the wire complaining about food and no internet connection, and the reporter saying compensation would be being sought !!

Well sorry, no one asked you to come here, you could have stopped in any of the European countries you traveled through, but you see the UK as a soft touch, but if you don’t like it here, **** off somewhere else.

It’s no surprise that folks want to come here if we are “soft” (hotel accommodation, benefits, etc). We should make it tough/hard so that the message that goes back is that the UK isn’t a destination you want to go to.

I caught something earlier on the news which I think said Denmark had changed its law to say asylum can only be applied for now from outside the country.

The European countries that, according to you say, allow the transit to the United Kingdom, suffer the problem anyway ... or do you think that Europe is also the cause of your immigration problems ... that I know, with your Brexit already you are totally sovereign in that matter now ... I don't know where the complaints come from, it should be a resolved matter, right?

I didn't realise 80-year-olds were employed as policemen in the Met Shocked
