How common would it be for an American to either have to show a weapon, or be shown a gun as way of threat? I can only think of one person I know in the uk, who has experience of being robbed at gunpoint. Well he wasn't in the end - he told them to piss off.

Yes its called a large body mass! Ed Byrne's Irish?

Considering who they were and where they were. They are the same targets for US, Aus etc bombing raids anyway. (UK only in Iraq). So even without the further evidence of a UK terror plot. Good riddance. With that additional evidence (which of course I haven't seen) I trust those in power...

In another territory - it may be a different matter.

Cant say I worry about this one little bit. Have joined a army overseas that kills our aid workers in executions, targets terrorist attacks at the UK. As far as I am concerned - its a war, and they should be taken out without qualm. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-34184856

We are one of a few of countries that's meets the 0.7% of GDP as foreign aid. We should be proud of that. But yes we do need to be careful how many people we bring in etc. Germany is in dire need of young people, as it predicted to have extreme negative population growth. (and no major economy...

You seem rather blase about this - depression can be a passing illness. By These figures the US suicide rate is twice that of the UK, and half of them are gun deaths. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_rate http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/suicide.htm In this country...

We still have plenty of sites that haven't been repaired / redeveloped since the Luftwaffe destroyed them. Meanwhile government gives a London Based Premier league team a stadium, paid for by everyone else.

Decent for Arsenal not good enough for Liverpool. Before my time. Don't even know if he's democrat or republican. I guess he's democrat? But anyone who helps supply us with peanuts can't be all bad. I would guess by reputation he's regarded as a good guy here fairly widely. I guess bush jnr...
