#1 So much for the common law.

Europe circles the drain faster and faster.

This is depressing.

#2 When a government is no longer able, or willing, to perform the functions of government, it ceases being a government.

The only two critical functions of government are the defense of the nation against a foreign power through force of arms, and the defense against a domestic enemy through force of law.

All other functions are far subordinate to this, to the point of being arbitrary.

#3 Guess they'll soon be putting their Prince Charlie Jackets and Kilts on the porch for AMVETS.

#4 Moose makes a very pertinent point. When governments refuse to carry their obligation to function by enforcing standing laws, they have failed. They are over. Anarchy reigns. This situation throughout Eurabia is far worse already than Americans realize. Go over to Atlas Shrugs. She tracks this diligently. The Muzz have reached a mass sufficient that they are demanding takeover already. The dhimmis are hiding and submitting, as they already allowed their socialist leaders to disarm them. There apparently is street fighting and mob rule from Sweden, Denmark, Fwance, and the Low countries, Belgium and Denmark. Stabbing is endemic throughout what used to be British Isles. The Brits are being savaged in their former homeland. We must retain our arms. Hussein will move quickly with StretchFace to begin limiting our Second Amendment rights if we don't stand firm. Some Demo jerk is already working on a proposal to ban ammunition of 30 caliber and over. Get ready for a battle. Join the NRA if you are not already a member. Your weapons will be your only allies one of these days.

#5 Adolf Hitler: "The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order throughout the occupied Russian territories, and a system of military strong-points must be evolved to cover the entire occupied country." Adolf Hitler, dinner talk on April 11, 1942, quoted in Hitler's Table Talk 1941-44: His Private Conversations, Second Edition (1973), Pg. 425-426. Translated by Norman Cameron and R. H. Stevens.

#7 Depressing. Britain is gone. Where is the Britain of Churchill? The law took centuries. It may be too late for Europe.

American law evolved from British law except we have a 2nd Amendment. America is at peril too.

#8 I believe the Scots are not subject to the Common Law of England, but to Scottish Law which is different, see Arlen Specter. Perhaps some of our British brothers (or sisters) could amplify or correct.
