I have to agree. The picture is rough. I have to say though, they did a good job stopping the bleeding.

It makes me weep - I'm glad I left.

I really don’t know what to say about this.

Unbelievable.

As most of us know England has “gun control laws” that have basically banned guns. I have downloaded two web pages from British newspapers concerning “knife control”. They are ridiculous such as banning “long pointed kitchen knives” and I think a lot of people on this forum would get a kick out of reading them. I don’t think both of them are still available on line.

Is there any way I could post them without going through a lot of trouble or creating a web site?

What about the copyright laws?

Well I guess I messed up.

I posted quotes from the articles and a link to the “beer glass” articles in “off topic” under “You can’t make this stuff up”.
I saved both articles to my computer. Neither one is available on line any longer.

I used to have considerable respect for the Brits.

As individuals they used to have a lot of respect and consideration for others. They also demonstrated outstanding “intestinal fortitude” during WWII.

My respect has now turned to sympathy.

I don’t know where their courage went. Why do they not stand up to their government and demand the right to protect themselves?
I suppose I could guess at answers to this all day long.

I sincerely would like to see Brittan “Great” again.
