This is so sad,nothing but a really get tough approuch is acceptable to get guns off the streets.A previous poster did'nt put it too well,but the question needs to be asked and real solid action taken,unless of course the gunmen rule our streets?

A liberal rag, posing as a newspaper, reported the other day that crime was down 7%. What they really meant was reported crime is down 7%. Now why is that I wonder? Easy, we now have a police social service not a police force.
Any money you like this crime like the Ryan Jones murder will remain unsolved
All we get is obfuscation and lies, lies and more lies.
How much longer are the people of once Great Britain going to let them get away with it?
