Insurrection?

This is coolbert:

Illegal aliens can and do pose a threat to even those societies that pride themselves as being peaceful, law abiding, and civil.

I am thinking of Britain in this case.

This was the consensus opinion of the various British security services in the aftermath of the 7/7 bombings.

Organizations such as MI5 and MI6 did advise the PM [Blair], that there WAS a heightened level of possible internal insurrection.

[not just sporadic terrorist bombings of the nature as was seen on 7/7. We are talking here about guerrilla warfare and uprising!!]

Of particular interest and concern to the English security types are persons from Somalia. Illegal aliens that have been smuggled into England, or arrived as political refugees seeking asylum.

These persons come from an Islamic country, have a propensity to violence at the slightest provocation, and are skilled in the use of small arms.

How skilled??

It is estimated that about 10 % of the Somalians living in Britain, illegal or otherwise, can field strip an AK-47 in thirty seconds or less, and do so blindfolded!!

Europe, which once prided itself on NOT having the gun violence of other societies, such as the U.S., is now awash with small arms. Most smuggled into western Europe from eastern Europe. For a price, if you desire, small arms can be obtained.

English police, who once patrolled UNARMED, and were proud to do so, are now almost all trained in the use of firearms. If you are investigator into criminal behavior, YOU ARE armed.

Such is the changing nature of even "sophisticated", "cultured" societies.
