  1. 😂😂you’d have to be nuts to go to him for anything after reading that news article.
  2. That’s not always possible unfortunately . Trakmet take a 30% deposit up front on every order. On both machines I’ve had it’s been a massive relief once it was in country.
  3. I do but as has already been mentioned a lot depends upon the bullet design, you’d like to think they ain’t using FMJ ( if i recall the old SS109 round we mover over to when SA80 came in had pretty impressive penetration characteristics) it’s that age old “ what calibre” ie would 9mm para have been enough 🤷‍♂️probably yes that close. It’s hard to say but as someone has already mentioned if that lunatic hadn’t of been doing what he was doing then innocents would not have been killed.
  4. 'Trump has got the peace train rolling' in Gaza APPLE.NEWS So it seems that the guns have fallen silent, Israel’s warplanes have been grounded and its tanks ordered to...
  5. 🤷‍♂️facts, you can try as hard as you want but they speak for themselves. but the BHOAC back in around 2012/13 were concerned more about the rise of RW terrorism than any other organisation. Well they got that very very wrong didn’t they to say the least. 🤷‍♂️
  6. Turns out the terrorist was on a rape charge too, suprised the site rape expert missed that one, but then again 🤔
  7. There have been two fatal far-right terrorist attacks in the UK in recent years, versus how many ?? . Attacks June 2016: Thomas Mair murdered Labour MP Jo Cox in West Yorkshire. The far-right extremist shot and stabbed the MP, shouting "Britain First" during the attack. June 2017: Darren Osborne deliberately drove a van into a crowd of Muslim worshippers near Finsbury Park Mosque in North London, killing one man and injuring twelve others.
  8. Unless of course the police are wrong and two people on an arb forum know better. How’s the answer to Mr Bolams question coming along “ Steven”.
  9. I condemn them all unfortunately there are far more by a huge margin coming from those following the religion of peace. Prove me wrong 🤷‍♂️
  10. I read it you quoted the one guy I quoted the many
  11. 🤔You really want to go there, you can stick the Southport killings in there too. Since 2005, major terror attacks by Islamic extremists in the UK have caused over 100 fatalities . The deadliest incidents were the 2005 London bombings and the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing. Notable attacks by year 2005: 7/7 London bombings Deaths: 52 victims, plus the four bombers. Target: The London public transport system during the morning rush hour. Details: Coordinated suicide attacks struck three London Underground trains and one double-decker bus. The bombers were British citizens inspired by al-Qaeda. 2013: Murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby Deaths: 1 victim. Target: British Army soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich, London. Details: Two Islamic extremists ran Rigby over with a car before attacking him with a knife. The attackers were sentenced to life in prison. 2017: Westminster attack Deaths: 5 victims, plus the attacker. Target: The area around the Houses of Parliament. Details: An Islamist extremist drove a car into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before crashing and stabbing a police officer. It was the first attack to cause multiple fatalities since the 2005 bombings. 2017: Manchester Arena bombing Deaths: 22 victims, plus the assailant. Target: An Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena. Details: An Islamic extremist suicide bomber detonated a nail bomb at the end of the concert. The incident caused more than 1,000 injuries and was the second-deadliest terror attack in the UK since 1970. 2017: London Bridge and Borough Market attack Deaths: 8 victims, plus the three attackers. Target: Pedestrians on London Bridge and patrons in the nearby Borough Market. Details: Three attackers used a van to hit pedestrians before getting out and stabbing people in the market. The perpetrators were shot dead by police. 2017: Finsbury Park attack Deaths: 1 victim, a man who had collapsed before the attack. Target: Muslim worshippers near a mosque in Finsbury Park. Details: A man drove a van into a crowd of people. Though the attacker was motivated by far-right views, the incident was initially listed on a timeline of events that included Islamic extremist attacks. 2019: London Bridge stabbings Deaths: 2 victims, plus the attacker. Target: Members of the public near London Bridge. Details: A man, who had been convicted of a previous terror offense, stabbed several people at an event before being shot dead by police. 2020: Reading stabbings Deaths: 3 victims. Target: People in a park in Reading. Details: A man with a known history of terrorism-related activity attacked people with a knife. What the above would indicate is that the indigenous population of the UK is a far more tolerant and welcoming society than those whom come here and follow that religion of peace we hear so much about and pander too. A ratio.of 100-1 🤷‍♂️
  12. Nope that’s a proper mess by the sounds of it, and if confirmed something that has to be lived with. But as you say until those with certain beliefs or ideology stop the indiscriminate violence and killing then these things can tragically happen.
  13. No I’ve not been Andy Im just actually popping down to see him now, vessel he’s on is in Aberdeen sheltering for Storm Amy coming in. I think anyone but more likely it will be tourists, accommodation he is building is spot on.
  14. I’ve no doubt it is but as I said they are trained for it and why would they be in any way negatively affected by putting a murdering scum bag down. Mark most people whom take on roles where carrying a firearm is involved are fully aware that at some point they may have to use it. Stick to the ROE and you are covered, seems they did that, job well done, all the training worked. Cost of a couple of 5.56 as you say, far better than years in jail.
