No it isn't the other way around. Some young men (in the UK) in high crime areas will carry them illegally because it makes them feel safer. UK has strict gun and knife laws. https://www.mylondon.news/news/zone-1-n

Most of the time I don't need a puncture repair kit / spare inner tube when cycling, but when I have a puncture I really need it. You don't feel the need for something like a gun for self defence. However if/when you

It is the easiest thing to do and the least hassle. I agree it is a racket, but I don't want randos from TV licensing knocking on my door.

The TV license is a relic of the past that is no longer relevant to viewer's viewing habits. It should be abolished. I really don't know why they haven't.

I literally just go on their site and say "I don't need a license because I use my TV for gaming". Then you don't get the nuisance letters for 2 years.

The stuff they showed on those videos a few years ago were a lot of the often balloons or children's birthday balloons and the incredible speeds were ~40mph. There is several guys that on YouTube that seriously investigate the UFO sigh

Yep. It is honestly tiresome. It is the same bad arguments are repeated ad-nauseam. The UK government and various public entities have been repeatedly shown to abuse the powers given to them. It doesn't matter if you show all the times

They could you know arrest the person and search the phone under suspicion, or get a court order. They don't need mass surveillance. Maybe they should do their job and actually investigate it, which they don't do. You can always j
