6 Years and counting.
Thats how long I have left living in the UK, then its hopefully the USA or Canada.
I work with firearms every day, from the BHP to the Challenger2. This line of work holds no future at all in my country, with its gun paranoia.
When talking to people you mention that you enjoy shooting you get looked at as though you are insane, you need help, you must be a nut.
Why do you like shooting? hmm, why do you like football or drinking yourself into oblivion every weekend?
This country is on its way to the bottom of a deep hole, much as I would like to stay, I want to live somewhere with some sense of freedom.
(ps- the Guardian is the most liberal of our papers, in fact to call someone a guardian reader is a bit insulting!)

Don't joke in Little Stasi-on-Avon
Britons have shown a surprising enthusiasm for informing on their fellow citizens
By Mark Steyn
....A couple of years back, 14-year-old Codie Stott asked her teacher at Harrop Fold High School if she could sit with another group to do her science project as in hers the other five girls all spoke Urdu and she didn't under stand what they were saying. The teacher called the police, who took her to the station, photographed her, fingerprinted her, took DNA samples, removed her jewellery and shoelaces, put her in a cell for 3½ hours, and questioned her on suspicion of committing a Section Five "racial public order offence." "An allegation of a serious nature was made concerning a racially motivated remark," declared the headmaster Antony Edkins. The school would "not stand for racism in any form." In a statement, the Greater Manchester Polce said they took "hate crime" very seriously, and their treatment of Miss Stott was in line with "normal procedure"...
...The government-funded National Children's Bureau has urged nursery teachers and daycare supervisors to record and report every racist utterance of toddlers as young as three.
Like what?
Well, for example, if children "react negatively to a culinary tradition other than their own by saying 'Yuk,'" that could be a clear sign that they'll grow up to make racist immigration gags...
I found that this is true:
Nursery alert for racist toddlers
Nursery staff must be alert for racist remarks among toddlers, a government-sponsored agency report has said.
The National Children's Bureau guide, Young Children and Racial Justice, is meant to help identify potentially racist attitudes in youngsters.
It is an umbrella group for bodies working with children and young people in England and Northern Ireland.
The 336-page guide said staff should investigate the reasons behind apparent racial prejudice.
Name-calling
It said: "A child may react negatively to a culinary tradition other than their own by saying, 'Yuck!"'.
That may indicate a lack of familiarity with that particular food, or "more seriously a reaction to a food associated with people from a particular ethnic or cultural community".
It also warned: "Racist incidents among children in early-years settings tend to be around name-calling, casual thoughtless comments and peer group relationships."
Staff should be watchful of children using racist language, it added.
Guide author Jane Lane said: "The book is about being alert and asking questions, being sensitive and never attacking a child, but always trying to think about why they may have said or done something."
Good god, the British article shows no opposition!

I have to agree. And to give it some added credibility....I'm an ex-Brit.
I can see why the ruling class took all the guns away from their more sensible subjects....
Now all they have to revolt with is harsh language, but they had better not speak too much English while protesting or it may offend somebody racially (because we all know that things like language and cuisine are intrinsically related to race ).
