I feel that I should explain some things about the British and our system of government.
Firstly the British Government has since the Russian revolution when Tsar Nicholas and his family had their lives cut short by the people, the British government have done their level best to remove firearms from us the hands of general mister and misses Britain so that type of thing can’t happen here they think may be time will tell.
Unlike you lucky lot who have a constitution and a bill of rights we the unwashed folks of Britain are allowed to go about our daily lives “BY CONCENT” we do not have a right to free speech it is “BY CONCENT” this consent is given by the way of the government which Politics pays a large part for good or ill. Infact it can be withdrawn or changed at any time the government may see fit, hence the stupidity in some of the laws ascertaining to age and guns quoted by Lagopus
Now our Police from the days of the first police force here it was decided we the British people allow ourselves to be policed by “OUR CONCENT” policing is by many constabularies who in a way answer to the Government and of course the politicians can’t help trying to meddle in their workings.
Not all that clever when you look in but it works for us and we still have just an un armed bobby that we can walk up to and talk to without them looking you up and down with a hand on a pistol. Though unfortunately they now have stab vests and other things for their own protection. But I am old enough to remember the British bobby with the only protection they had was a wooden truncheon and a row of silver buttons on their jackets. They handed out corporal punishment to us young lads if they found us up to no good by giving us “a good clip around the ear” (smack across the head) it worked well but that is now nostalgia.
