if we had a zero tolerance on arseholes with weapons, then the police can go back to not carrying guns

just a thought - but carry a blade - immediate 3 year custodial sentence

carry a gun immediate 5 year custodial sentence

and i repeat my earlier comment about prisons being too soft.... and yes, i would love to see chain gangs working again :)


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Though they'd probably do you if you just happened to have a camping knife on you or any of the plethora of other valid reasons for carrying such a tool ..... very few of which have anything at all to do with any criminal activity.

I almost agree with Alad.
We've been given notice to take our jack knives / leathermans / gerbers off our belts when we venture off base and into civvi street. We can wear them normally 'at work' but anywhere outside of work (even travelling to and from work) we've got to remove them. Coppers will stop you and book youif they catch you wearing it, which I think is a fair one.

There's places for camping knives and the like. inside a toolbox, in the boot of a car, glovebox, bottom of your rucksack.. No excuse for wearing one or carrying one directly on your person any more. Crashed and wish you were wearing your knife to cut the seat belt? Put it in the centre console.. Small waste receptacle.. glovebox.. not got anywhere? buy a motor that does or dont bloody crash.

The Rioters Prayer.

Our father, who art in prison, even my mum knows not his name, thy rioting done, you'll read it in the Sun, in Birmingham much as it is in London, give us this day our welfare bread & forgive us for being true wankers, as we forgive those who got ASBOS against us, lead us not to employment but deliver free housing, for thine is the petrol bomb, the plunder & its glories, forever and ever...I'm a dickhead

After hearing some of those wankers talking on the news the last few days, I doubt very much they even know the difference between right and fucking left!
I had to pull out of a Facebook discussion when someone stated it was all propaganda because the papers were showing pictures of the fires but not of the fire engines putting them out.


It takes a lot to leave me speechless but....................
