Some white gunsmith was done a few months back
specialised in importing US replicas and converting them to working.
He also made ammunition himself.
Seemed to sell to black gangs
..wonder if he was being blackmailed ?

If Met Commissioner Dick was another gender she'd be on the receiving end of plenty of onomatopoeia based insults on the social media she's so keen to crush.
When it comes to the rise of London gun crime, where have the guns and ammo come from?
As I've said here before - if the HMRC / "Border Force" crew at Coquelles stopped pestering/robbing their own countrymen and women and looked a bit closer at the calvalcade of Albanian brigands and the like it might make a dent in the trade. As it stands I doubt they have the intestinal fortitude and much softer targets are plentiful to fill their days / paperwork quotas and car boots.

The Guardian must have been disappointed when they could find no link to BREXIT, UKIP, Russians, Trump or Big Oil, so they failed to join any dots together at all.
Drugs, turf wars and street gang culture are going to be significant factors in London, along with love rivalry and jealousies, but even when other areas of the UK have their figures scaled up, to match the size of London, London does seem to be culturing its own problems.

"But Dick’s elevation was controversial for another reason. Her reputation has been, and perhaps always will be, clouded by what happened on 22 July, 2005, when Jean Charles de Menezes, an entirely blameless Brazilian electrician, was killed in a volley of bullets at Stockwell tube station in south London – the victim of a catalogue of mistakes made by the police in the aftermath of the 7/7 London bombings. Dick was the “gold” commander at the Met that day, so it was she who was in charge of the operation. No wonder members of de Menezes’ family, and many others, have strongly objected to her appointment."

I think I might start trying to direct "people convinced by the present arguments proffered by the "mainstream" about "Green" energy" - at California gubernatorial candidate Mike Schellenberger - who has a fair set of eco-credentials but isn't blinkered to reality.
You can lead a horse to water etc.... The drip drip of OVO-like kerrapp has a noticeable effect.

Agreed, but with the caveat that an awful lot of people with a great deal to lose are convinced by the arguments about green energy. My brother and sister in law amongst others; this despite my best efforts. There seems to be a logic disconnect between what do you do at night when the wind isn't blowing and no electricity.

I don't know what the politicians and senior police officers expect if they effectively retreat from the streets.
I saw late night/wee hours antics in west London 4 years ago where I'd estimate over 100 mostly African origin young men were very obviously intimidating drivers and late night workers in a fashion that I feel I can guarantee would elicit a severe kicking from the army or paramilitary police in most actual African countries. I didn't see a single police car or van between Park Lane and Trafalgar Square - no-one. These little shits have pushed the Met off the streets - plods sit in their CCTV lounges waiting to dispatch clean-up crews while supping lattes from travel mugs.
British senior policemen and politicians have made a rod for their own backs. Cressida Dick's claims today that they are going to target ringleaders / "kingpins" etcetera is risible. If they don't tread carefully with a big stick they are going to get riots that will make the last lot look like a walk in the park.
