Our police are vulnerable.. Their lives are at risk just being out there..
There is little respect for them from those wielding knives or aiming firearms..
Killing anyone today is not such a big thing by those who commit the crime..
because they know they will be protected in court by fancy lawyers..

Tragic, a 13 year old has died! Devastating for his family.

This seems to be at the head of the news today.  A man wielding a full-sized sword in Londonistan (where else?) who has injured attending police officers.
He has finally been arrested and will, in time, no doubt be given a stern warning or possibly given a room in a nut house, with all mod cons of course.

What occurs to me to ask, if anyone should know, is whether ours is the only country in the world which does not provide its police with side arms for self-protection?  And should we do so?

Of course, we wouldn't want to become like America, where the rule is 'shoot first and ask questions later'.  However, all west European countries arm their police routinely, yet they don't suffer from the American attitude.

I have just heard a retired police man explaining (on GB News) that many police officers are now refusing to be armed simply because they know that they will not be supported, if they act to protect themselves or the public, by their superiors, the courts, or the government.  A good reason why today we do not have the number of police which we really need.

Well it won't be the first time they've lost thousands of illegals, but why would you give them advance warning that they're off on their jollies to Rwanda ?  

Jane thought her hubby was playing away
If she found out for sure there would be hell to pay
He stunk of Impulse.. she used just soap
B&M's best, the smell made her croak

So bloody cold here but sunny. 

The lawn mower is out ready..

Is the Pope Jewish?

Of course we can't find them!

It seems that many have gone to Ireland via Northern Ireland.  We don't want them back.
The rest, of course we can't find them.  They have disappeared into the black economy and crime.

Of course, if they are in hiding they won't be getting any financial handouts and hotel rooms, and also any healthcare, so in a way they are saving us money.
Of course, if they participate in crime they are probably still taking from us.
