Women's Institute. An organisation for women in the UK. It's always been very conservative, but I had thought they were starting to enter the 21st century.
Seems like I was mistaken.

Never voted Labour in my life. BUT, I will if that helps to keep Reform out.
And yes I know how bad Labour seem at the moment.
But have to go for the lesser of two evils.

You are right, I didn’t consider N Ireland. But even so I still don’t remember that many ‘mass shootings’. Memory suggests bombings but either way any number is far too many.

Just saying.

Not wanting t get in an argument, but the figures for the UK seem unbelievable, speaking as a retired UK cop
I can remember two or maybe three in the last fifty years. I accept that I might have missed some, but so many?
I’d really like to see some detail, like what makes a mass shooting?

Canadians are getting really tired of living above a crack house and are taking precautions

Canada, Australia, New Zealand or UK.
If you’re good with languages then practically anywhere in Europe.
The world is waiting.
