O/T Is Elon Musk more powerful than Trump?

Aye we have armed police officers patrolling our major city Xmas markets these days .

The thing is the political class over here aren't too enthusiastic about telling us why we need armed police officers patrolling our major city Xmas markets .

Do you really need them to spell it out? I don't hear anyone giving specific reasons why armed police patrol airports, major sporting events, political rallies and here in the US even schools and the office building where I work. There are nutters in the world that come from all walks of life that's why.

So you are comparing border points such as airports and political rallies with UK Xmas Markets ? .

So presumably every major weekday UK market would also attract armed police officers or even Sunday car boots perhaps , except they don't .

Your attempt to normalise this is extraordinary .

I found your need to infer what you did in reply to Frog's post equally as extraordinary and tenuous. You know why the Xmas markets have armed protection so why even mention it and the 'cover up'?

I could ask why did you, a Barnsley FC fan feel the need to come on a RUFC message board and make a post on a thread about Elon Musk (although I admit it has wandered O/T somewhat) to point out that the police in the UK are armed especially to protect attendees at a Christmas market? Only you know the answer to that question.
