‘the scotsman’ will lecture me at the drop of a hat that UK is 92% white, ‘

Correct. Check the 2001 and 2011 census.

‘that Brits don’t own guns because it’s not their culture to want to own them,’

Again, correct. The UK has never really been a nation of high gun ownership. That is not a point of criticism or superior attitude. It just is. The lack of owners has been mainly a factor of history and social conditions. Britain wasn’t built on the gun, and the UK has famously had a very low level of crime (until recently), so guns for defence wasn’t an issue. Most UK guns have been for sport.

‘that Anjem Choudary is an isolated nutjob with no following,’

Which he is. Although you and many Americans seem to think he isn’t, and has a vast following. In fact, Hamza and Qatada had much more of a following and were/are much more dangerous to the UK. Choudray is a vocal but actually minor figure, although certainly vile and certainly dangerous (I have never said he shouldn’t be watched and jailed if necessary). His media exposure is out of proportion to his actual ‘power’. Which is limited to a small following in London.

You miss an obvious fact: Choudray has the luck of being based in London, so the media will cover him more easily. Were he based in the north or midlands, he’d get much less press.

’ that people are not arrested for defending themselves,’

I, and other British freepers, have explained to you and everyone else, many times, the procedures of UK arrest. We have also in depth explained the actual history and truth of British self-defence (you know I have actual victim experience, I have told you) and the myth of British self-defence and home defence.
