There's a Lot Wrong with Britain

Here is another example of the British people being betrayed by their government who are playing into the hands of the BNP. It is rank hypocracy to criticise the BNP and claim they are going to be undemocratic while at the same time giving taxpayer funds to an islamist group that wants to turn Britain into an islamic dictatorship.

How can any reasonable person justify a nominally democratic government giving funds to a groups whose stated goal is the overthorw of democracy and the imposition of a theocratic state?

Doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that this happened in Harringay. I lived in Turnpike Lane for several years when I first moved to London. The Harringay council is possibly the worst run in the country.

Nothing, Harringay Council is a total fuck up, if you remember the Baby Climbie story being all over the news, that was Harringay.

The council basically bankrupted itself by botching a funding decision over Ally Pally and doesn’t have the manpower or money to do anything right. At one point when I lived there they dropped rubbish collections to once a month because they had run out of budget to pay the dustbin men (this was about halfway through the tax year). By contrast, when I moved to Kensington I had a daily rubbish collection. And my council tax was lower.

Yes, I do remember.

Those people take imbecility to a level of irresponsibility which makes it appear they are being controlled by Satan, having fun with humans.

By the way, speaking of the devil, it was on the evening local news last week ( I went away so I couldn’t post then ) that council states where there are gun gangs are now going to be patrolled by the same branch of the police that guards Bliar and the American Embassy with the same Heckler Koch MP5 submachine guns.
They actually showed footage of the officers and their “Hello Kitties” in their handling gun position walking around the building. So I remembered you and the case you made on Britain not needing/wanting to change the law on guns.

This could be the beginning of change…

Not really any big change, that department has always been responsible for armed response. There have been armed officers on the streets in these areas for years it just hasn’t been heavily publicised.

Each time I am back in the UK I notice more armed police out and about. Not really surprising but a shame in my opinion.

I’m sure Sifu will see it as Labour getting their storm troopers out on the street ready to gun down the plebs if they step out of line.

It is pandering to the muslims so they can get their vote. Also Britain has some extreme radicals who have actually managed to get voted into positions of power. The problem is they don’t have a good understanding of islam and believe they can control them. What they are doing is playing with fire and a lot of people are going to get burned because of it.

They will have limited impact because the criminals know to post lookouts and they can alsways move to safer areas. But it does show where the country is heading. The government will do everything it can to maintain and expand it’s monopoly on power.

It is a cause and effect relationship that occurs with gun control. Once the people are prevented from maintaining law and order in their community crime goes up which then creates an excuse for the government to send in the troops to crack down on the crime wave it has created.

That is why the American founding fathers wrote the second amendment. So the government can’t manufacture a crisis that requires it self to send in armed personnel and crack down on civil liberties to deal with the problem they have created.

If this is cause and effect, amazing that it has taken 80 years for the effect to follow the cause.

And if this is the cause and effect, why are there more shootings per capita in the US? Surely there should be less.

No but it is a visual one. The media loves to sensationalise things. They actually did a study where they asked people in various areas of London what they thought the crime rate was in there local area. On average people overestimated crime rates by a ridiculous factor.

Being seen to be tough on crime normally plays well during British elections.

It hasn’t been 80 years since the 1997 gun control act created a free for all. You quite obviously have not been keeping up with the latest news since you have been living in Mexico.

Gun crime doubles in a decade
Gun crime has almost doubled in the last decade despite high profile Government campaigns to tackle the problem.

By Tom Whitehead, Home Affairs Editor
Published: 7:00AM GMT 27 Oct 2009

Offences involving firearms have increased in all but four police areas in England and Wales since 1998, figures obtained by the Tories reveal.

One part of the country has seen the problem increase almost seven fold as the availability of guns, and criminals’ williness to use them rises.

The number of people injured or killed by a gun has also doubled under Labour.

[quote]

Because the US is a different country. Surely you don’t have a clue as to how one society can be different from another if you are going to ask such silly questions. Especially after I have repeatedly given you the answer. The murder rate in the US has been steadily declining for the last 17 years whie in Britain the murder rate has been going up.

Why don’t you ever ask why the murder rate in Mexico is higher than the US?

Yes we did go over this before and you were full of shit then and you are full of shit now. Before the 97 laws there were people who legally owned firearms and kept them in their homes. Your attempt to spin doctor it into there weren’t a lot of firearms is a load of crap. Criminals don’t do risk assessment studies based upon the statistical probability of their ending up on the wrong end of a gun because they aren’t that smart.

All they knew was that after 1997 the chances of their ending up on the wrong end of a gun while committing a crime had been reduced to ZERO. That is why there was an immedediate increase in the amount of gun crimes committed starting in 1997 and it has been going up ever since.

[quote]
Your argument that because it has been illegal since the twenties to use a firearm for self defense no one in Britain who owned a firearm would use it for self defense is absurd. Maybe you would do nothing to defend yourself or your family but most people are not like you.

So you think that the criminals and corrupt government officials having a monopoly on firearms has nothing to do with what is going on there? It’s all the fucking Yanks fault.

I don’t disagree that the drugs trade is a problem. All those drugs funnel into Texas where the murder rate is a fraction of Mexico. It’s the helplessness of the Mexican people who are prevented from playing a role in keeping order that is making a bad situation worse.

If Britain was being flooded with Mexicans and Brazilians they would be heading in a better direction than where they are going right now.
