Britain Today.

[BIAD]

Since that night, I have made a habit of always having a firearm within easy reach, and to never answer a knock at the door unarmed. I don't care who you are, badge or no - if you knock at my door, it's best practice to stand back in the light where I can see your hands. Acting otherwise is hazardous to your health. You may kill me, but I guarantee you will not leave the premises unventilated, and you will, at the very least, be leaking.

ETA: it's interesting to not that murders of young folks has also increased in Lodonistan, just as it has in Chicago and New York and other major US cities. The news here would have us believe it is a uniquely American problem, and all falls back to "easy access to firearms". I wonder how they account for the same phenomena in the UK, where access to firearms is somewhat more restricted?

It is sad that such precautions are required and I'm sure an article in 'Ramblers Monthly' will be published regarding
your warning, along with the same photograph of you aiming your firearm at the photographer.

Seriously though, your noting of the escalation of these types of crimes in cities of political influence is important.
Evidence to further an agenda always precedes the answer that benefits that agenda, just as vaccines kill Covid.
(No, don't giggle!)

It is strangely ironic that in a well-known capital of a country that is internationally perceived as a land of polite unarmed
'Bobby-On-The-Beat' and firearms only exist above a farmer's fire-hearth, the dominant manner reported in the media is
'knife-crime'... the poor-cousin of the gun.

However, the escalation of such violence in Sadiq Khan's crazy bazaar does seem connected to the increased shootings in
cities across the Atlantic. Some might say a scheme is afoot.
