I think it's now long overdue that our police should be the same.
Obviously, only the ones who have shown previously that they are suitably restrained and trustworthy.
On the other hand, I suppose that from the things I have seen on the telly and in the news, there seem to be well-trained armed police in the UK who are instantly available if the need arises.

Yes, more quick-reaction armed police, please, and more police helicopters regionally.
Perhaps I'm biased from watching such events on the telly!

Oh, Muddy, I'm too old, and my brain power is fast receding; it's going out like the tide.
But I hate unfairness and racism, we are all the same under our skin - good, bad, and
indifferent, whatever colour we are, or country in which we were born.

I was Conservative and thought it the best, despite some of its mistakes. But their last
+ 14 years sickened me. So now I'm a floating voter, but I know who and what I would
not vote for.

However, my regards to all and good luck.

In a blink of an eye... And I haven't even changed over to my summer duvet..

Alternatively one could lie down in a darkened room until the urge passed .......🙂

No !! I wouldn't change a thing.. The guy is doing a great job...
  VOTE LABOUR....

I am still waiting for CHF to answer a couple of questions I submitted to him yesterday.

Please let me know your thoughts, CHF, that I might better understand your views and opinions.

I'm going to say it.. 'I don't do heatwaves'..
Enjoy your time away GrannyMac...

I looked at the calender this morning too Raven and was surprised to see that nearly half the year has gone.

I feel that life is rushing past so fast .....

Yes we are pensioners - that doesn't mean we are brain dead and are only able to discuss mild bland subjects surely ?
