Gun crime in London--where handgun ownership is completely banned--is rocketing, with increases of almost 90% in some firearms offences, Scotland Yard revealed recently. New figures show London murders with guns increased by 87% in the first eight months of 2001 compared with the same period last year.
This is London.

As Lee Greenwood put it so eloquently "well I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free"
This is Tony Blairs baby, and all the British citizens gave him their nearly complete approval in the recent elections. The (not-so-funny) funny thing is, Bill was and Hillary still is trying to make America walk down the same path. Hey Liberals, it doesn't work!

Oh yeah, I'm baaaaaaccccckkkk!!!! see my sunburn?

But as the article says, it is a specific problem in those areas with those people, it's this small minority causing all the trouble. Things took a turn for the worse when the police stopped their 'stop and search' procedures due to political correctness some months ago. Before this there was a pretty good arrest rate for gun and offensive weapon crime.

Tony doesn't seem to be worrying about it, he's too busy with international affairs to worry about what's going on at home.
