A couple of responses for the moment

I have a longer post in preparation, but in the meantime, I'd just like to make these two points:

 

The comparison between Nigel Farage and 'gun control' campaigners is absurd. Mr Farage's response to the matter was rational. 'Gun control' , which only applies to the law-abiding, is an irrational emotional spasm response to gun crime (note that in France, where 'gun control' is ferocious yet the killers somehow obtained AK-47s, the matter is not even being discussed and I have yet to see a word on how they got hold of such weapons).

 

Oh, and here's a surprise. Some of my automatic critics are getting the wrong end of the stick about my rape suggestion. The precondition of my proposed automatic prosecution for the initiators of failed rape prosecutions is that the complainant *chooses* anonymity. This is voluntary. The procedure is designed to bring home to the person involved (and to unthinking supporters of the anonymity of alleged rape victims) the nature of the thing they are demanding.
