Mass knife terror attack stopped by good guy with a gun.

The good guy was a policeman right? Ordinary people have been disarmed of guns and knives.

Oh wait they are so civilized in the UK that even the police don't carry guns! How civilized is a society when they allow the savages to do whatever they want? Reminds me of the Eloi and the Morlocks

Eloi & Morlocks, good one!

I don't think it's that they allow the savages to do what they want as much as it is that they can't do anything to stop them and are unwilling to allow any civilized folks to defend themselves. That's what I think is madness.

For British politicians and senior police officers the idea that the country should switch having all officers carrying firearms would be rather like slaying a sacred cow. There are two sacred things in a largely secular British culture. The first is the National Health Service, the second is that unlike other countries we do not need to arm our police. To challenge either of those beliefs is socio/political heresy, therefore it is a career ending move for any politician to suggest changing them. Thus they are stuck, all they can do is slip further and further down the hole just wishing the somehow the problem will just go away.
