A UK Telegraph article discussing a timeline of the shift in police weaponry from the wooden truncheon to the submachine gun.
What isn't mentioned is that as the police went to heavier and more lethal weaponry, during the same period the UK populace was disarmed and emasculated into their current status of permanent victimhood. You'd think that the police would have progressed from the heavy weaponry to the wooden truncheons as they disarmed the populace, but just the opposite occurred. Of course, it's axiomatic that, having disarmed a populace, you need arms to keep them subjugated, but that isn't mentioned, since it might clue them into the fact that they are, in fact, prisoners in their own country, and the police have assumed the role of prison guards.

They are the Queens subjects she may do with them as she pleases
Have you ever been to the UK, Robert? If you spent a few days there, your dark, programmatic view of emasculated victims and their prison guards would dissolve in the light of day.
@wally: I've visited the country before, back when I was in the Navy, Wally, back before Labour got ahold of it and twisted it so that criminals have more rights than victims, and self-defense is a crime, and a man's home is not his castle, so that criminals may enter at their will and do as they like to the homeowners.
Read down a little bit, Wally, about the little boy who died because the doctors provided to him free refused to test him for meningitis, ignoring his pain and his pleas that he was dying.
Click on the UK tag on this blog, Wally, and you'll find a thousand outrages to read about resulting from "free" healthcare, coddling of criminals, criminalising victims, and every outrage is met with a shrug by the UK government and a "sorry about that!" and no real reform. When the next election is called, Wally, Labour will be out, the people in UK are tired of being victimised and treated like dirt, and are willing to give the Tories another chance.
@wally: and thanks for commenting on my blog, Wally. I'm happy to have you visit, although I'm sure there's stuff here that will cause you to grind your teeth as much as I do at your blog occasionally.
Ah, Robert, where to begin? Yes, I read your post about the little boy who died of meningitis; fortunately, I also followed your link to the original newspaper story. It's a sad story indeed, but it's a story of physician malpractice, of which there are hundreds of heartbreaking examples right here in the good old USA, because doctors, like the rest of us, are human beings. Nowhere in the article is any indication of a cruel decision being handed down from a death panel, or of the death having anything at all to do with whether the medical care was "free" or not. This was a particularly egregious manipulation of a tragic story, Robert. Not to mention that it has no bearing whatsoever on the claim I was responding to, namely, that present-day Britain is essentially a police state. I put this contention to some of my online British friends ("subjugated by arms", police as "prison guards") and the response was mostly of the LOL variety. I'm willing to concede that this is merely anecdotal evidence, though, and carries little weight in a truly thoughtful discussion. Do you hear me, Robert? Anecdotal evidence is not evidence at all, especially when it's not even relevant to the topic.
