Corbyn wouldn't need them, Susan. Given his stance when interviewed on TV tonight to say he would not want to give the order for shoot to kill, if anyone attempting an attack in London similar to what happened in Paris, if they don't obligingly blow themselves up but keep shooting people with those pesky guns, he will just try to reason with them and persuade them to put the guns down. Not called JC for nothing. Of course, given only 6,000 or so of our police in this country are apparently armed compared to all French police, there may not be much point in giving that command to unarmed police who would basically only be able to stand and watch an atrocity unfolding and radio for help from specialist teams. How much damage could a terrorist wreak in the 20 or so minutes it is apparently likely for one of these specialist units to arrive on the scene? |
