Over the 20th century, the British government took the right to have a gun away from virtually everyone. They said it would make us safer. It didn't, violent crime and gun crime in particular has steadily increased. Criminals carry guns, but an application from a householder in an isolated area to keep a gun at home for protection is guaranteed to be refused.
They introduced more CCTV cameras per head than any other country in the world, to make us safer. It hasn't.
They have banned as many knives as possible, and are looking at more. A simple Swiss Army knife with the lock that Victorinox have finally employed for safety, is a prison sentence waiting for you if you carry it in the UK, even if you're going off to the mountains with a knapsack on your back. Feeling safer yet?
They have made it illegal to photograph policemen, who will soon be safer from people like the mobile phone cameraman on youtube ..... safer and safer.
Is anybody beginning to think that it is not crime that worries the government, but lack of control of the populace?
