Churchill packed heat...and he would have used it without hesitation rather than strip down.

I kinda disagree. We have seen vids of men in towns and neighborhoods band together to fight back.
It might be the many of the gov’t leaders who went commie wimpy but the brit men are still willing to stand up and die to protect their homes.

and they are still fierce fighters in Iraq and Afghanistan

Those who give up their liberty for security get neither.

Certainly there are still good men in Britain, just not enough.

The same types are emasculating Americans too.

Individualism is a masculine trait. Individualists are an anathema to socialists.

Jesus Christ is Lord of the warfare. Is he worshiped in England anymore?

"He commented that he’s frightened by America’s “gun culture” and added that Americans needs to drop “their Wild West attitude.” I'll keep my "Wild West" attitude, Mr. Limey Wuss. I'll also note that our country was a better one in the days when men wore a sidearm, and we hanged criminals in local courts. Its called a Peacemaker for a reason.....

Exactly so! The remnant are the descendants of what we would call 4-F. Unsuitable for military service. The Brits left most of their best to bleed and die on foreign shores.

That's right. A huge segment of the post-WW-II British generation was raised by single mothers. Single-mothering hasn't been a very effective family model here, either...the vast majority of violent criminals in “pens” today were raised in single-mother homes. Single mothers are one of the largest single demographic groups supporting the socialist agenda in the US (read Obama/Democrats et al).

If you don't like what you see in London, you'd better start doing something in your own cities and towns. Because it's coming.

The average Englisman has been neutered by social programs and a ban on self-defense, both in the courts and by tools for self-protection.

A very publicized case some time ago found a homeowner prosecuted and found guilty for defending his multi-burglarized home with force. If you go to jail for defending hearth and family, what is the average guy going to do?

Answer: He has to rely on a neutered police force. Same song second verse.

Same could be said for Germany. Germany went from having the typical German man being portrayed as the hard soldier, to becoming Dieter from Sprockets.
