We have our share of nutters in the UK . . . it's just almost impossible for them to get hold of assault rifles and grenades.

Yup. I've been trying for years...

It's the government's fault.
We should be an ultra-lefty peace-loving hippie nation and then we'd never be the target of such terrorism.

With a mushroom shaped bang.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

So we should lock up the London Philharmonic?

Oh I love the London Philharmonic Orchestra. They are simply amazing. Years ago, they played a concert in Athens, Greece with Yanni. It was all so amazing, I wish I had been there in person to see it.

I was just saying to CD that when I imagine the same scenario here, he would have had a gun and killed a bunch of people.
And even if it was the same and he had a knife, he would have most likely been shot on sight. Not many attempts to taser him.
