Given that the only possible function of a 
handgun owned by a civilian in Britain is to dispatch a bullet with the intention of killing or causing grevious bodily harm, should gun possession carry the same sentence as attempted murder/gbh?

JONES celebrates birthday
Rarely does a normal birthday attract such attention than this one. BULS’ own Brigid Jones is celebrating her 30th Birthday today. It’s a big landmark and BULS would like to officially salute their stalwart of feminism.
After a raptuous reception in her native Eastbourne, Jones will return to Selly Oak before embarking on a tour of Birmingham, taking in such sights as Bartley Green, Quinton, Hodge Hill, Tyburn and Ladywood!
Stranded but not forgotten in Selly Oak
I’m spending the holidays in birmingham to help make Bartley Green turn from blue to red and it’s quite dull and boring in Selly Oak at the moment. I walked to the Guild earlier from the back of the building passed this old well which I think is a mine-shaft built to help teach mining graduates in the 1960s. It reminded me of a story many years ago.
The leader and deputy-leader of the party were doing a walkabout with press in a semi-rural town. They came across this well and instinctly the deputy-leader, sensing a shrewd photo-op, lent over, threw in a coin and made a wish. Not wanting to be upstaged the leader lent over to make a wish, yet he lent to far and fell in. The stunned deputy-leader stopped, knowing his boss and fallen to certain death before his eyes. The deputy-leader turned to the assembled press and said “Well, atleast my wish came true!”
Truth or lie, and allegations abound…
Sheesh, if BULS can get into hot water over publishing one or two unpleasant allegations, Lord only knows what’s about to hit this bloke… or maybe not, if Obama doesn’t notice it/doesn’t care enough to write the bloke’s boss a nasty letter.
