Britain banned and confiscated guns for law abiding citizens....criminals get guns easily and are using them for crime more and more...but on the promise of lowering the crime rate....gun confiscation has been a failure....and now....the police aren't even responding to emergency calls....Britain has decided to follow the American, democrat party of police work...by cutting police numbers, cutting police resources and hamstringing the police with political correct policies....
Here in the U.S. supporters of gun rights say When seconds count, the police are only minutes away...in the U.K....apparently when seconds count, the cops are days away...
Police failing to respond to 999 calls for days because of 'overwhelming' demand
Police are taking days to respond to 999 calls that should take less than an hour, a watchdog has revealed while warning of “significant stress” on forces.
Vulnerable people and victims of assault and other serious crimes are among those left waiting in distress, sometimes without knowing when or if officers would arrive.
HM Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMICFRS) warned that many police forces in England and Wales had backlogs of emergencies, resulting in long delays and incidents being left unresolved.

“About a quarter of forces are all too often overwhelmed by the demand they face, resulting in worrying backlogs of emergency jobs.
“People are waiting a long, long time for that 999 response and our concern is where there are vulnerable victims in the queue who haven’t been identified properly, putting them at risk.”
Last year’s annual report on police effectiveness found that some forces were “artificially suppressing demand” by wrongly categorising calls to stretch resources further.
