Well I just hope the same situation never arises here as all the cutbacks planned are having a withering affect on our armed forces and our police forces.The front line professionals are being culled, look how long it took to resolve the loose gunman issue up north and he was found around the same area it all started. They are cutting back sniffer dog units in the police and loosening our border controls.
Then there is the Health and safety issues with fire and ambulance men not being able (or maybe willing) to go in on dangerous situations. They might have tried to starve him to death over here. I can remember one man holed up in a flat in London a few years ago where they isolated the street and surrounding areas for over a week until he eventually got so bored he shot himself
