More whattaboutery but, seeing as you raised it, with the pending abolition of Roe -v- Wade, parents of unwanted children just have to wait until they're school age in the US - or, if they really can't wait that long, just let them play with a perfectly legal firearm in the comfort of their own...

The "madness" to which you refer seems to have worked over here in stopping mass shootings in schools, so I don't follow your 'logic'.

It seems that problems at least here with guns began when we transitioned due to the Industrial Revolution from a predominantly rural agrarian society into an urbanised one: you don't need to do much hunting in a city! [ETA reply to EWT re Welsh ancestors]

Neither are we. It's not an "if you're not one, then you're the other" situation. Except that we have a mental health epidemic here too....but we don't have a mass shooting problem, so guns are the problem. The question remains: how many more mass murders of kids do there have to be before the...

"Pro-life"? Clearly this expires at birth for anyone supporting this madness

I really can't see how there can be two sides to a "human right" that allows children to be slaughtered at their schools. That just seems baffling

I would agree that we need to find out why these things happen, but it is not a binary either/or cop out: the US isn't the only country in the world to have people with mental health issues, we have similar health problems but we don't have mass shootings

So you wish to preserve the "freedom" of your children to be shot dead at school. I find that mindset incomprehensible, particularly for a Christian

Dear American School mass shootings don't happen here anymore because we reformed our gun laws. When are you going to? Yours Free (particularly to go about my business without getting shot and free to let my kids go to school without worrying about them being shot) UK citizen

I don't see them being abused by their government. Most western countries had lockdowns in various degrees....apart from our own government who broke their own rules...

Er...no, it's because we reformed our gun laws. Australia did similar after Port Arthur. When are you going to do the same? What are the barriers preventing this in the US?

"All parents can"? Really???? I'd put that to the parents of the 19 murdered yesterday and see what they'd say....

Whatabouttery, Conan. Stay on topic

It's 7am here in Britain. I'm about to say goodbye to my kids as they go to school, confident that, bar some once in a generation freak atrocity, none of them are going to get shot at school. Questions: 1. How many parents here can say that? 2. When are you going to fix this?

Joe needs to stick to the script and not go off piste like that; he's created a massive diplomatic headache and risks backing Vlad the Bad further into a corner

With a bit of Northern Ireland thrown in

We get our main weekly grocery shop from Tescos as it's more reliable to have what we want but both Aldi and Lidl are worth popping into other times to see what they have and, if they have something we want, we generally get it and tick it off our weekly Tesco shop because it's cheaper and in...

"Woman gives birth."

Either name has been used over here.

That's in June but, yes, 75th anniversary
