As long as you're not sitting behind me, desperately rooting around for your tissues, which you KNOW you left behind on the bus again.

I think Blair speeches would be more appropriate - we don't want to excite people.

they are probably already lying scumbags who start violence(the perps not the brexiteers), we want them to love the Uk not hate it and rip it off.

I have a better idea , incarcerate them in a cinema and force them to watch videos of Margaret Thatcher speeches

I am all for arming anyone as long as it means cleansing the country of wailing self loathing, brit loathing liberals

Now we see the violent ideology of the Brexit camp.

[vetran]

Too indiscriminate, may as well let the perp blow the place up.

Drones with tazers or newer wider area tech is the way forward. They can be on guard everywhere a lot easier than armed law enforcers. Just hope they get the AI right if not letting CCTV operators control them in public areas.

Maybe if we had more bobbies on the beat to nip things in the bud with a clip round the ear we wouldn't need robocop.

Just a thought....

Reports of gunfire will generate an armed response from the Police who will generally get there just as quickly as their unarmed colleagues.

Not that I think routine arming is a good thing (Sidearms are gonna be pretty useless against a couple of AK-47 wielding terrorists), but this is absolutely untrue. There's an appalling shortage of armed officers and in some parts of the country you're talking a serious wait before anyone turns up.

Welcome back. You've not been missed.

You are a liar my love.

"Quem desdenha quer comprar" Try to figure it out this one.

They can hide the gun in their briefs.

You are making the assumption that the Police want to be armed. The vast majority don't. My youngest brother is a Copper and has been a firearms Officer.

Being able to deal with an armed individual intent on killing civilians depends on having an armed response at the scene when they fire the first shot. Thats unlikely to happen given the numbers of Police we actually have. Reports of gunfire will generate an armed response from the Police who will generally get there just as quickly as their unarmed colleagues.

Having armed police on the streets in Germany didn't stop the latest nutter, nor did it make a difference in France with the Charlie Hebdo shootings or the Bataclan theatre shootings.
