Everytime that I read about social dysfunction in England, I am remined of the movie “A Clockwork Orange”. The film was decades ahead of its time and much closer to the reality there now.

Enoch Powell pretty well called it, way back in 1968. But Clockwork Orange author Anthony Burgess was a pretty astute observer as well.

General Comment;

Wanna bet for everyone successful defeat of a home invasion in good ol England there are 50-100 that end just the other way...

Too bad there are no free men (armed) in England, golly, even the UK Pistol team has to drive to... FRANCE to practice!

They at least, have no law abiding citizens that can use a lawfully owned handgun (or many long arms either) for any purpose, legal or otherwise, much to the delight of the gun control crowd-now knives and other “weapons” are being policed up as well. Soon to be very messy place to be.

Ever notice that few home invasions occur in the rural American homeland compared to the “civilized” urban areas? Too many individualists willing to be men and take their security as a personal responsibility.

“You can perhaps persuade and armed amn, you may force and unarmed man”.

God Bless

I’m not sure why Powell’s anti-immigration speech applies to a situation in which an Irish immigrant was stabbed and a Chinese immigrant was murdered by three apparently native-born white Englishmen.
