Police Raid

I can not understand why the British are so afraid of an armed populace. It’s not like their citizens would ever revolt. oh never mind.... Razz

Wow, this is a good laugh! What a folly. Don't get any ideas there English Mike. How do they even get warrants for raids like this?

Because the media propaganda blown up out of proportion.

Stupid..

Doesn't seem to take much to get them riled up! Instead of verifying the guy's claim that it's part of the machine, they take it to forensics and see if it can be made into a firearm. Lucky for him it wasn't a piece of pipe and a rubber band.

I remember this incident...seems that the Govt...any Govt...can show that they are simple minded in the way they conduct "business".

Maybe I should run for Parliament out here in Australia...seems that intelligence and commonsense are no longer requirements...replaced now by stupidity, idiocy and paranoia and more than likely having been lobotomised.

English Mike

Nuffink to do wif me guvnah! Angel

The person involved in this appears to have some "interesting" friends, as in the less law-abiding slice of society & no doubt why his comm's were being intercepted.

Unlike him, I presume the PTB monitor my virtual presence based on their all to obvious fear of an armed citizenry - hi guys, how's the weather at GCHQ? Very Happy

Meh - i don't care anyhow, as I'll be in Rome, GA in less than two days as the start of three weeks in the US & I'll doing LOTS of shooting - maybe our lot will class it as "terrorist training". Very Happy

English Mike, I'd run down and have lunch with you one day but that's about 6 hours away.

We could make it a three-sum, but I'm about 6 hours away too.
