Thanks Nigel. I understand that the Isle of Man is pretty liberal too. Although part of the British Isles they are not part of the European Union and have the world's second oldest Parliament; second only to Iceland, and as a result have remained pretty much uninfluenced by silly politics, although they were forced to abandon flogging as a punishment only a few year ago. No speed limits there on the roads either I believe.
I believe that you still can, or at least until recently, own and use fully automatic firearms.
Just to confuse our other readers; there is a difference between Britain, Great Britain, The United Kingdom and the British Isles. All very confusing. So confusing even that the city of Berwick on Tweed, that frequently switched between England and Scotland, was still officially at war with Russia until 1966! Lagopus.....
The Isle of Man abandoned flogging! Damn! Another of the great civilising influences gone!
I have been in Jersey since the early 1980s but full auto weapons were already
verboten by that time. Not in Guernsey, however, until a little while later than that.
Yes, Great Britain is the combination of England, Scotland and Wales, formally constituted by the Acts of Union of 1706 and 1707. Wales was co-opted by laws of 1535 and 1542. Here ends the history lesson!
