Most armed 'Bobbies' are in the Armed Response Unit(s), ... Theres not any real demand for ''beat bobbies'' to be armed. I think the guy that was shot in London today was shot by a Police Armed Response Unit .... not a Beat "Bobby" .

Onlye recently at the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse the "christian brothers" called sexual abuse of children a "moral failure" on the part of their members and not as a crime. They had no problem calling in the police when a boy absconded but NEVER thought to call the police when one of their "brethern" raped a boy.

London Bombs - SHOOTING in Current Events JoeUser Forums

LONDON appears to be under the cosh again .... amazing that these religious ZEALOTS think that Londoners, and those who have made London their home think that Londoners can be intimidated. London and Britain survived the worse the Nazis chould throw at them and many many survivors of the Institutions found London to be a refuge. Best Wishes to everyone in London.

Yet she persisted with her accounts of the abuses she and many others had to live through in thos

The cold statistics that measured a second lieutenant's combat life expectancy in minutes and seconds, not hours.
