Just as well there are loads of firearms teams in the counties doing nothing, I mean they were onto some old bloke with two rifles in Cumbria in no time. Oh... 
Plus if every cop allowed to carry firearms is rushed to London what level of cover is left for the rest of the country?

Are these firearms units also being cut by the Government? If they are, not good timing ..

re: Paris shootings in November 2015
If the cuts are for the protection of Dave and his men then I'm all for the cuts. they should even be cut further.
but same old rubbish. bring in loads of protection because we're scared.
and then back to normal and opening doors and stuff alll over again.

Down to individual Chief Constables how many firearms officers they have in their force (subject to national minimums IIRC) but firearms training is expensive and with budgets slashed and due to be cut further you can bet they aren't really going overboard with the numbers.
That as well as a lot of cops not volunteering for the role as the know they'll get no backup from the bosses if they do shoot someone and get hung out to dry for it.

re: Paris shootings in November 2015
Not only is Brussels the seat of a lot of what's wrong in the EU, it also seems to be a bit of a hotbed for terrorism. There were we all thinking that Belgium is a boring place where nothing happens...

Places I know well in Belgium have become very islamic. Locals don't like it, but neither do those in parts of the Netherlands similarly infested.

Hope you've learned the words of La Marsaillaise* matey. 
* In view of historic Anglo-French antipathy, however, you can keep your fingers discreetly crossed as I'm sure the French would do in similar circumstances...

I don't even know most of the lyrics for the British national anthem. After the first verse I have no idea..Something..something..GOD SAVE THE QUEEN....something else.

Mr Corbyn really doesn't help himself..

Jeremy Corbyn says he is "not happy" with UK police or security services operating a "shoot-to-kill" policy in the event of a terror attack.
The Labour leader told the BBC such an approach could "often be counter-productive

Anyone who has had military firearms training knows there is only one way to stop an armed opponent who is endangering others - two shots to the main part of the target (the trunk); that will be fatal in a majority of cases.
It's only in fiction that you wing someone to stop them.

He also declined to answer what he called the "hypothetical question" of whether he would ever back military intervention against extremists.
"I'm not saying I would or I wouldn't," he said.

Out-freakin-standing - the potential leader of this country has declared he might, or might not, use force against those who want to kill our citizens in terrorist attacks.

I don't think most of the British know it. and more than most don't even care.
first time in my life I've just looked up the lyrics.
no wonder nobody cares.

Corbyn's showing himself up to be joke far better than any right wing media baron. His grip on reality seems very tenuous and that would explain why he appeals to the usual suspects around here.
