UK hit again?

Off Topic Question:

Overlag, I noticed that your location is Essex and your last name is Webb. My last name is Webb and my family is from Essex (Dagenham, Rainham mostly). I was born in Rochford myself. I'm just wondering if we might be distantly related? ;)

The more I think about this the more I become convinced that what europe needs is the re-incarnation of Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar.  perhaps America as well.

Overlag, my post wasn't aimed at you directly. To be honest I agree with pretty much everything you said.  I have no sympathy for any of the idiots who have anything to do with any of these events.

Maybe if you cut off the first line of my original post and start at "The Times..." it sounds like less like it is directed at you.  Apologies.

However I stand by a couple of things I have said.  While I'm sure the vast majority of the Muslim population in the Leeds area were horrified about the London bombings I am also sure there was a certain amount of detachment from them...  Until all those houses started getting raided on their own doorsteps.  Suddenly the huge implication that these actions were carried out by "their own" is going to spur some people into action and hopefully make it harder for these people to operate.

So they should not have followed the will of the people just to stand up to the terrorists and make a stand?

Then the terrorsists would have dictated the election more than they actually did. Dont you see that?

Hornchurch here.... right next door to Dagenham and Rainham :eek:

not really sure about the webb side of the family as my dad never really goes into it. But then when your the only one left out of your family and your only in your late 40s do you really want to think about it? :(

My mum made a massive family tree, which includes some depth into my dads side. Email me (via forums) and i will reply later when i find some stuff out maybe? :)

LOL! I never argued against arming the police. They are armed in all the other European countries I've been to. (Not sure about the Garda in Ireland) But what's this - suspect shot dead? I can't remember anyone ever being shot dead by the police before in Britain.

Not armed in Norway. They have a weapon locked up inside their car tho, and when instructed they will get issued MP5's or sniper rifles at the station if the situation requires it. (armed robbery, hostage situation or if lazs has been sighted ;) )

They do not carry guns when om foot patrol.
