Clearly nothing is being hidden. But that won’t stop you dreaming up excuses to stoke some self affirming grievance.

People who can afford it paying for their own care rather than the bill being passed to others. Where’s the problem?

Really? “147,140 firearm certificates on issue, a 3% decrease compared with 31 March 2022 500,894 shotgun certificates on issue, a 4% decrease compared with 31 March 2022 516,500 people who held a firearm and or a shotgun certificate, a 4% decrease compared with 31 March 2022 3,106 temporary firearm permits and 8,062 temporary shotgun permits; figures on temporary firearm and shotgun permits are included in this release for the first time.” So let’s add them all together: 651,140 Fire arms, shotgun or temporary fire arms permits. Dividing that into the number of the population 66,97 million gives a gun owners ratio of 1 gun per 102 people. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/statistics-on-firearm-and-shotgun-certificates-england-and-wales-april-2022-to-march-2023/statistics-on-firearm-and-shotgun-certificates-england-and-wales-april-2022-to-march-2023

OK so absolutely no back up to your ridiculous claim.

Link please.

Really?

Pointing out the glaring flaws in your reasoning and doing so with links to credible sources is not trolling. But I do understand you don’t like your erroneous arguments being called out with relevant facts and I have apologized for having done so.

Why do you need a description Jonny, the assailant is in custody and there’s a photo of him in the news report. In the absence of too many details to feed your need for grievance you wander off into imagining unrelated stuff.

Thank you for confirming my recollection.

Guns are not as common in the UK as you might imagine.

For scientists it raises questions to be investigated. Fir climate deniers it confirms their bias.

Not if Truss can get there first. What a shambles.

Nothing ridiculous about it. All UK forces have specialist armed police officers they can and do mobilize if needed. However, most officers are not armed and the police themselves don’t want to be routinely armed. UK policing is by consent, calling the police to attend domestic disturbances, neighborhood disputes and cops performing traffic stops or any number of routine police interactions with the general public do not, as in some parts of the world, ever end with innocent members of the public being gunned down by a cop enforcing their authority with a gun. https://www.forbes.com/uk/advisor/life-insurance/what-are-the-uks-most-dangerous-jobs/#:~:text=Police officer%3A with 13 deaths,in the police was risky

Undoubtedly, but these breeds of attack dogs are kept by people who are themselves nasty. Dogs from these breeds are not made viscous, they are bred to be viscous, it’s a characteristic their owners admire and look for when choosing to keep these dogs. An extension of their own personality.

From recollection the dogs visible through bars in front of the camera lens.

The good news just keeps coming: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/aug/23/brothers-jailed-riot-rotherham-hotel More please.

Evidence here that no matter who one speaks to there will always be something upon which agreement exists.

Fingers crossed.

She’s certainly got Trump’s supporters, both foreign and domestic, worried.

I’m not ignoring anything. Here’s a simple fact, you argue the affordability of houses on the basis of a particular region’s prices and the national wage average. I have provided the specific wage average for the region for which you quoted house prices, and no surprise at all it’s significantly lower than the national wage average. Blowing a gaping hole in your argument. You’ve been comparing apples with oranges and don’t like me calling out your misleading use of prices and wages. Please forgive me for having done so.

Proves your point by replacing the national average wages you are using as the basis of your argument with the very much lower local wage data. Give up with the utter nonsense.

I expect a bit of made up stuff on your part: “As of October 2023, approximately 9.7 percent of businesses in the United Kingdom were experiencing worker shortages. Over a quarter of accommodation and food sector businesses had a staff shortage at this time, the most of any industry sector.” https://www.statista.com/statistics/1369216/uk-worker-shortages-by-sector/#:~:text=As of October 2023%2C approximately,most of any industry sector.

Let me help you out with average wages in Devon, so that you can argue local house price affordability on the basis of local wages. https://www.totaljobs.com/salary-checker/average-employee-salary-devon

Oh and forget wage increases over the same period.

Says guy offering up house prices in Devon and arguing they are affordable on the basis of ‘national wage averages’. What a mess.
