They make it sound like a bad thing.

Well, if the police won’t do their jobs, then the people MUST take matters in their own hands to protect themselves.

The criminals CANNOT be allowed to run rampant and destroy our country.

“Organisers Wayne, Tracy and Michael founded the group after discovering a friend had been attacked in his home in Birmingham by thieves armed with hammers”black

I’ll never understand the English aversion to individual firearms ownership.

A natural result of anarcho-tyranny. The vigilantes will eventually be arrested and charged with something by the authorities.

Might turn out like it has in several Mexican localities where the locals have kicked out the Federales and instituted their own police forces.

I seem to remember something about putting heads on a pike or something like that. The brits would do well to read a history book or go look at one of their museums.

I think there is an aversion to individual firearms ownership in most of the countries who have had Monarchs. In the case of the British, they have never wanted their Subjects to get “uppity”.

In the United Kingdom, access by the general public to firearms is tightly controlled by law which is much more restrictive than the minimum rules required by the European Firearms Directive, but it is less restrictive in Northern Ireland.

The European Firearms Directive is a law of the European Union which sets minimum standards regarding civilian firearms acquisition and possession that EU Member States must implement into their national legal systems.

Firearm ownership was about as widespread in the UK as in the Us in 1900. The wave pf rioting and lower class armed violence in 1919 and the near civil war with the labor militants in 1920, 1924 and finally the General Strike of 1926 convinced both the Tories and what was left of the Liberals that the civilian population had to be effectively disarmed. The ‘gun control’ laws began in earnest. Britons today don't even know of the almost completely unregulated and very safe era of the Late Victorian period. I have had an older upper class Tory woman deny anything like that ever happened and literally could not understand the absolute rights written into the Bill of Rights (how did that get passed with people like Hamilton and Jay around?)

This is the irony of it. The people are sick and tired of being victims because the police are scared. The result though will be that the victims will be set by the authorities as if THEY were the criminals. They will only prevail if their anger spreads throughout England and brings down their muslim loving government.

Roll Alabama Bellowhead

When the Alabama's keel was laid
Roll, Alabama, roll
She was laid in the yard of Jonathon Laird
Oh roll, Alabama, roll
She was laid in the yard of Jonathon Laird
Roll, Alabama, roll
She was laid in the town of Birkenhead
Oh roll, Alabama, roll

Roll, Alabama, roll
She was laid in the town of Birkenhead
Oh roll, Alabama, roll

Down Mersey Channel she sailed then
Roll, Alabama, roll
And Liverpool gave her guns and men
Oh roll, Alabama, roll
And for Mersey Channel she set forth
Roll, Alabama, roll
To destroy the commerce of the north
Oh roll, Alabama, roll

Roll, Alabama, roll
To destroy the commerce of the north
Oh roll, Alabama, roll

Into Cherbourg harbour she sailed one day
Roll, Alabama, roll
To collect her share of the prize money
Oh roll, Alabama, roll
And many a sailor met his doom
Roll, Alabama, roll When the Yankee ship hove into view
Oh roll, Alabama, roll

Roll, Alabama, roll
When the Yankee ship hove into view
Oh roll, Alabama, roll

A shot from the forward pivot that day
Roll, Alabama, roll Blew the Alabama's steering gear away
Oh roll, Alabama, roll
Of the three mile limit in '64
Roll, Alabama, roll
She sank to the bottom of the ocean floor
Oh roll, Alabama, roll

Roll, Alabama, roll
She sank to the bottom of the ocean floor
Oh roll, Alabama, roll
Oh roll, Alabama, roll
Oh roll, Alabama, roll
