I also don't see any invasions here? Temporary safety ... huh?

Better check your history. England has been invaded over and over and over again. Right now it is being invaded by Muslims. Have you already forgotten the bombings?

You have THOUSANDS of government cameras watching you, hooked into computers that can identify you by your face and your gait. Talk about Big Brother.

Are you for real? Being invaded by muslims? Great Britain is a cultural melting pot. ALWAYS has been. Muslims are welcome here, no sharia law here though. Bombings are acts of terrorism, they are designed to make you fear an establishment. They were successful, we put missle turrets atop houses to prevent aerial assaults, increased security at the airports, they won. Extrapolating that to an invasion, now that's just silly. Muslims have been a welcome part of the British community for a long time.

Is there a Tim Horton's there? Because they're the best part about Michigan.
I'd not gotten coffee there before and was up in MI this weekend on business. From Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon I had 6 extra large coffees and two donuts. Nothing like shooting video for 18 out of 36 hours to make a man appreciate good coffee.

New liberties may not be needed; just get some of the old, lost, liberties back.. The same could be said here in the U.S.

The UK "Constitution" used to place firearms rights above even freedom of speech. I think it still does, it's just been legislated away. There's a strong lesson there for those who live in the Colonies. I've heard that a Brit can't even carry a bread knife in his pocket, unless it's a very small one. With all those cameras, don't let it print through your pocket.

If Britain ever does suffer under another threatened invasion, they probably assume American citizens will freely give their privately owned firearms to your government. If they make a plea for them; as was done during WW2. On that basis alone, every American should own at least one extra rifle or handgun so we can once again help our disarmed brothers-without-arms.

...
Those cameras, there are people here for and against them. They do save lives but as the other side says ... they infringe on privacy. There are "talking cameras" in cities. They use them to tell litter bugs off, and to inform people they are being watched if they are doing something illegal. I can see why people wouldn't like that but it makes me feel a whole lot safer.

They tried the camera thing here before, as long as 20-25 years(?) ago,and still do on occasion. Cameras here tend to become irreparably damaged by flying rocks and various other projectiles. See, guns are useful for hunting and target practice. You almost never hear about it on the news. I've seen more than one citizen look at a destroyed camera with a big grin on their face. If you don't like cameras on streets that you have payed for, one can always "lodge a protest".

Disclaimer: I would never publicly suggest that people act against anything deemed un-constitutional or otherwise illegal...

A melting pot implys that the immigrants are becoming Brits. Immigrants that stay separate and don't assimilate your culture are the problem.

That's what Texas' problem right now is with the large influx of Mexicans. They don't want to become Americans.

If Muslims blowing up your people isn't an invasion you are as deluded as I thought you were.

I think it's 2 inches for a knife? I wouldn't know what to do with a gun lol One of my American brothers could give me a gun to save myself and I'd probably use it as a club lol

The reason you live in a nanny state is your government grabbed all the power it could during WWII in the name of winning the war, and it never let go.

This is the real danger of government. Once you lose your liberty to it, you will NEVER get it back.

And America did the same after 9/11/.

in·vade
verb \in-ˈvād\
transitive verb
1
: to enter for conquest or plunder
2
: to encroach upon : infringe

Those attacks weren't to conquest or plunder, they were to inflict fear. A melting pot is not where they "Become Brits" it is where they add to the flavour of our community, you know, like in a melting pot, I think that's where the saying came from anyway?
