Ya think! Its taken the terrorist incident to re-consider the old English tradition of policing by "consent". From elsewhere, there are 6,000 armed cops out of 120,000 in uniforms.
That is 5% of their police are armed. Hell there are more armed in a Texas shopping mall than the British police force!

A good-guy with a gun is the most efficient means.

There is a reason all the VIPs (gov and civ) have armed security.

They might arm the bobbies but will they let them have the bullets too?

Will they take their whistles and night sticks away after arming them?

but that's letting the terrorists win!

if you give them guns then you are admitting you have a terrorist problem.

A muslim mayor isn't going to admit that.

Lets face it, a white mayor or the idiots who elected a muslim mayor won't admit anything, either.

More explosions, knifings and the like in honor of Allah to come.

Nothing but lip service. A few more dead wankers then you can light some candles, pick some flowers and pass more laws.

They are having the uniforms altered. A small pocket is to be installed on their Shirts large enough to hold one round ala Barney Fife.


There are no problems that cannot be resolved by the suitable application of high explosive.

The British government and people are stupid when it comes to guns. During WW 2 they begged American sportsman for firearms for protection. When the war was over they did not return them but had the guns distroyed. Hasbeen

Sounds like a big CF on the way arming a bunch of formerly "unarmed" bobbies who have a mind set and the training that they have no need to carry a gun. No fire arms training, no marksmanship training, no situational training . . . this is not going to turn out well. Better to allow the populace to arm themselves, since these bobbies will show up after the fact, and provide no protection to the general populace.
