We've always heard a lot about how wonderful things are in Britain. The bobbies don't carry guns, extreme restrictions on firearms, low crime rates, etc.
Well, the inconvenient (for that viewpoint) facts are that crime in Britain is high, lots of the bad guys have guns- and use them- and you can be jailed if you too energetically defend yourself against an attacker.
Today I found this at Free Market Fairy Tales. Apparently, if you are demonstrating in a non-politically correct cause, British police have a rather cavalier attitude toward 'freedom of speech' and 'necessary force'.
(But Americans are a bunch of violent, nasty cowboy types! Yeah, right)
