exactly walshie. the people of the usa not as sheepish as the uk Actually mate I think the complete opposite. I visit the states quite regularly and (at least the people I see) seem a lot more sheepish than us. They seem very obedient and a lot more respectful of authority than we are. Anyone with a name badge seems to command total unquestioning respect of the people who pay their wages, so I guess an uprising with or without guns is a lot less likely there than it would be here. Seems crazy you can and do get a ticket there for jaywalking but you can have a Glock in your belt. I hav

I'm out of likes for the day so have a I work in Las Vegas. A firearm has saved my life on 3 occasions and probably more that I don't know about because I was visibly armed. Vegas is a festering shit hole. Out them myself mate but I hear you. As it stands I can legally keep my 3 shot semi auto next to my bed (or anywhere else for that matter) and I do so..........in case I hear a fox in the hen house at night.

I'm of the opinion that people who may need to resist a military need force equalizers. So do you think people over here should have access to fully automatic weapons. Yep.......I'd love to legally own an AR15, and if I was still living on the outskirts of London I'd know I'd have slept a lot better for owning one. Plus, it's a cool thing to own ! Lol

Born......you beat me too it !! Haha

I'll give you an instance of what a government WITH weapons can do to perfectly peaceful citizens WITHOUT weapons.......Catalonia !! I mean I know people have the attention span of ants but f**k me, it was only yesterday ! Lol
-
They don't .......BUT........they should be free to if they want. That's the really important bit

I have never visited the USA mate much less lived in it but now I live in Ireland I have noticed how lots of things here are VERY similar to the little I know of how things work in the USA. And what I will say is that Ireland is a MUCH more free society than the UK, it's people matter MUCH more at a local level that's for sure. If it indeed the same in the USA then that is well worth preserving because in comparison the U.K. Don't even come close.

Fair play to you mate, you sound like a proper chap
-
I don't agree mate, give regulation an inch and it will take a fecking mile......as the UK has proven time and time again
-
By the way, how many people got stabbed to death last week........dangerous things in the wrong hands them knives you know
-
But there IS a need for them to be free to own one if they want to mate

Regards the short skirts analogy..., you're much better than that BH so I won't even dignify that with an answer. I understand that people want to maintain their rights but the facts are that guns kill more people in the US than they protect. Wouldn't you agree? And would you like the same gun laws here in the UK? You can put a number on how many people guns kill but it's ludicrous to say you can put a number on how many they protect!!.......I mean, what should people do?.....come home and phone up the national statistics office and say "hi, I didn't get robbed or killed today" Be anti gun

I'll think you will find mate that most MPs have no relevant experience any more than the next bloke. I think that extremely harsh penalties for mis conduct in office should head off corruption for most except the most determined......you can't really odds that one. It would certainly be better than "oh, sorry, I mistakenly nicked a £150 GRAND in dodgy expenses......I'm very sorry, won't happen again"........."oh, OK then no bother.....carry on!" Lol
-
Maybe in my little fantasy land, randomly selected people should continue to be paid whatever salary or average earnings they are on at the time of their selection for office. In the case of the unemployed the same as their current benefit. And of course their expenses incurred for everyone. In theory, the very richest captains of industry would work for free because they don't need the money.......but that would be their choice only if selected. Paying politicians was a very bad idea !
-
I think party politics is so broken I'd like to see a new way. I'd like to see people from all walks of life put their names in a hat for random selection and then the vote should be for say 4 or 6 of those randomly selected people in each voting area. No political parties need apply !
-
Thanks for that honest reply. I'll try to match it. I understand your sentiments Scot. I just disagree on how it all works and so the solution. In a free(ish) market people get paid approximately what they are worth. If you want more money then you need to be more valuable as an employee. By arbitrarily putting a minimum value on any employee you raise that bottom level at the expense of everyone who is considered more valuable. The bottom becomes subsidised by the next levels up without having any additional worth. Raising the minimum wage to a level that someone has decided should be the

I agree mate, I think it's howling that people HAVE to use these things. You would like Phil Robersons book "Un-philtered, the way I see it".........that's how people should be helping people.

Not really, it's just one of a thousand stories out there...........I've been listening to a lot about Boris this morning on the radio, no mention of his pay. So no evidence of burying that story as far as I'm concerned ;-) Ahh, but you are much more of a positive person than me matey........I'm just a broken old cynic with zero faith in anything with the letters MP connected to it ! Haha The motive of putting it out there wouldn't surprise me yeah, but these little tittle tattle stories come all the time. I'm just saying it certainly isn't doing a very good job if you're right. They still

As in "Socks said it was Heartwarming there were food banks and he was glad they were there" What a nasty old rich man that Socks is !! See What I did there, that's how easy it is
-
Anyone else think it's a bit of a coincidence that a story like this gets trickled out just at a time when Boris is making a menace of himself to that traitor May ?
-
I'm not rubbishing the article but I would take an article written by an organisation run by and American Multi millionaire airess to a fortune who's ambassador is a republican career politician with a large pinch of salt. We have seen what a reliable job the US has made in other Muslim related stories it puts out

Fair play to the Catalans, I like what I'm seeing. Despite all the heavy handed brutality they went out and did it. If that had been the UK, there would have been no need for Police violence......they would have simply threatened everyone with a fixed penalty ticket or a court fine and everyone would have crawled back under their stone and kept their head down !! In fact, May and her Cancer party just robbed the country of Brexit and nobody batted an eyelid ! Who would have thought old Jonny Foreigner would be show the bollocks England now lacks?
-
Bet your bollocks to a barn dance that Brussels will have been on the blower to the Spanish government and said "Quash this with all means possible, we can't afford to have Catalonia bug out" EU government freedom and democracy at its very best !! May has been given her script too, she will be sticking to that for as long as the traitorous witch lasts in office!
