I agree, we are, but like it or not, as I said it has to stop (or at the
very least, reduce considerably) somewhere and soon, or there won't be a
welfare state for any of us!

I didn't say give them weapon training, although it might actually teach
them just how dangerous a weapon can be if used wrongly. Once they've been
in for 2 or 3 years (of their 5 or 6 years service), a selective process
would ensure (hopefully!) that only the safer ones were trained for weapons.
This would instil a competitive spirit amongst them as this would be seen as
some form of "right of passage", hopefully helping to improve maturity by
competition.

Personally, I think the EU has too much power over us as it stands. I really
think that with a decent, uncorrupt government we would fare better on our
own. Oh, and fill in that bloody channel tunnel!!!!!!! <Grin>

Not if they're banged up, they don't! And if they know they'll be banged up
for 5 years for nicking as much as a pint of milk off a doorstep - in a
prison cell that provides a bed, toilet and sink with no telly, radio,
computer, phone etc etc - then there's a seriously reduced chance of them
re-offending.

Hmmmm.... methinks that your average clout on the lug or kick up the arse
probably wouldn't work against guns and petrol bombs. No offence intended. I
get your drift, but my comment was meant more towards the cheeky little kid
that just knocked the old pensioner's hat off etc.

Ok, valid point. Suppose we could introduce a cheap form of semi-self-build
motor, what about a fibreglass body with a lawnmower engine? Nope, the
Trabby has been and gone! Hey, howsabout I appoint you as my transport
minister, then it'll be your problem to sort out? LOL
