Mostly not

In Northern Ireland, all police officers carry firearms. In the rest of the United Kingdom, the majority of police officers do not carry firearms; that duty is instead carried out by specially-trained firearms officers. This originates from the formation of the Metropolitan Police Service in the 19th century, when police were not armed, partly to counter public fears and objections over armed enforcers as this had been previously seen due to the British Army maintaining order when needed. The arming of police in Great Britain is a perennial topic of debate.

The vast majority of officers are instead issued with other items for personal defence, such as speedcuffs, extendable "ASP" batons, and incapacitant sprays such as PAVA or CS spray. While not firearms, incapacitant sprays are subject to some of the same rules and regulations as a projectile firing firearm under Section 5 (b) of the Firearms Act 1968.[2]

Since 2004, police forces have issued Tasers to Authorised Firearms Officers for use against armed assailants which are considered by the authorities to be a less-lethal alternative to conventional firearms.[3]

Things are changing in London.

The Metropolitan police have said they would press ahead with plans to allow armed officers to patrol areas with their guns visible and ready to use, in an effort to quell knife crime and violent gangs.

...

Some parts of central London have armed patrols to counter the threat of terrorist attack, but the new plans being developed by the Met would send armed foot patrols to residential areas with high violent crime.

Maybe we should go with the Bognor option suggested by Last of the V8s.

What's wrong with Bognor?

Can I order a hat from xhomerx :-)



Thank you.

 Stubborn and determined.

You realize Bognor is going to become a meme

[xhomerx10]

Btw.....

Missing many regulars @WO 

Where are you HODLers

Just waiting it out and lurking as standard. WO always entertaining though. Holding since forever.

 Better get that CCMF hat of yours ready to wear!

It has been for many years https://quotes.yourdictionary.com/author/quote/8032

It's not a million miles from the best submarine and only hovercraft museum. They may have some hardware for hire to outrun or out sink our would be kidnappers.

I went on a hovercraft the other day and feel that it made me a better person overall.

Jaywick Sands

Gotta be Jaywick. it's fantastic.

My womanfriend of the time was threatened with murder there for walking past someone's coat.

If this little soiree is going to cost 400 fucking grand then for that figure you can buy a knees up plus the whole of Jaywick and blow it up, plus buy new teeth and homes and prospects for the wretches who live there.

[HI-TEC99]

If this little soiree is going to cost 400 fucking grand ...

Each?

[d_eddie]

P.S. I would not suggest any drugs in the party.

well, so much for that

Or maybe it's not misinformation and the Philippines aren't the best place for a party of degenerates anyway.

[gentlemand]

Each?

A few seem to have settled on 10 grand a piece and 40 people. No idea why and it Weren't me. No, sir.

[cryptjh]

No problem!


If the pattern continues:
The value of 1 Bitcoin would be over $400,000 with-in the next 10 years.

  if Satoshi wanted changes he would be adding them himself and the community would accept them or not.

If satoshi had wanted changes in bitcoin, he would have stuck around past 2010.

Whether such exit was voluntary or forced may not matter too much, but after satoshi left, bitcoin was forced to develop without cult of personality of one individual or group and became the coin that it is today... not exactly stagnant, but had gone through a few battles, including attacks in 2017.. but also success in 2017 to accomplish segwit adoption and implementation that is still being built today from a community of smart peeps.

Otherwise, I agree with you, that if satoshi were to come back into the bitcoin picture (which seems quite unlikely since he left over 8 years ago), then the most logical way to contribute to bitcoin would be to make a proposal through the BIP process, which seems quite alive in bitcoinlandia...

The bolded is patently false, there are forces that cannot be controlled.

AFA conjectures if the entity satoshi returns I would postulate it would be a relaunch of a different design.

In essence, I am a bit confused about what you are asserting, here.

Seems that the most logical explanation regarding Satoshi is that he disappeared on purpose.

Furthermore, consistent with him (or they or whatever the fuck) leaving "on purpose" is that there would need to be absolutely compelling tragedy circumstances in order for him or they or whatever the fuck to revisit a seemingly earlier sound (and seemingly foolproof) decision and to come out of the closet.  In other words, the world and/or bitcoin better be the fuck on fire for such a justification, and neither the world nor bitcoin is anywhere near such compelling circumstances... and along those same lines of reasoning, there is absolutely nothing wrong with bitcoin and/or its progression (from a likely satoshi point of view), and if you really ponder the current circumstances of our bitcoin matter, it seems to be quite likely that bitcoin is progressing beyond (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010) expectations (or at least within the parameters of "best case scenarios").

In other words, your response to my earlier comment seems to come off with a suggestion that any current satoshi thinking would more easily consider intervention into bitcoin based on a kind of ongoing concern about the level of brokenness of bitcoin than seems to be reasonably and logically inferable from actual facts and the current success level of bitcoin.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. What I meant was there is no way you can know that, ergo your premise is faulty so any conclusion you reach derived from that premise is by extension erroneous.

[Hueristic]

Definitely not the States or Middle/South America or Africa or Asia or Russia or the Stans.

So Europe. Suggest mainland rather than an island for those who, for whatever reason, prefer not to fly and like the ability to leave at any time without anyone else's permission.

Portugal hasn't been mentioned, though it has stunning beaches, legal Jah Weed, and is used to visitors.

I'm okay with any first world location. Somewhere near beaches or other tourist attractions (i.e. Paris) preferred.

I think you "anywhere but the US" guys are a little optimistic about the situation in most EU countries. Whatever you're afraid of the US government about, the EU is just as bad - a little better in some aspects, and a little worse in others.

I would choose MiddleEarth.

If we can't put a decent party together for a couple of thousand bucks a head (assuming 75+ people), we would be doing it wrong.

If you want Don Perignon on tap it's an optional extra, but a decent party with accomodation and decent food sorted in the price, some entertainment etc is easily done.  Extras can be 'according to taste and desires' surely...

I used to work in the music business, I have a fair idea what a party for an upscale entourage costs. With or without extras.

Frankly, I think $1,000/person is pretty extravagant.
Live band, buffet and hor'douvres or however the fuck it's spelled, open bar, and security.

And by invitation only IMO - posting any details publicly results in de-invitation.

There was no settling and really the idea of charging a entrance fee is ludicrous. This is just low brow flights of fancy.

I think what we should really do is look into a pay per view type extravaganza with obstacle courses and medical teams on standby. I am sure the whole cost could be defrayed and the rest sent to a good charity.

[JayJuanGee]

It was always going to be very impractical opsec-wise to have one huge party.
We're going to have to decentralise this thing.

I think you're right...

All of us getting together in one place and time that is publicly known (or that could leak) will create a huge BTC honey pot. We could then be abducted, tortured and have our BTC wrenched out of us! OUCH!

Most of us already are, or will soon be millionaires, some even billionaires... This is no joke! Gotta organize this thing very carefully...

I agree with your overall sentiment, and the point(s) that you are making, AlcoHolDL; however, I am going to quibble a bit with your assessment that "most of us already are, or will soon be millionaires."  To be or soon be a millionaire, most of us would need to have in the territory of 100 coins or assuming that a BTC price of $20k is imminent, then "most of us" would need to have 50 coins or more.  I have my doubts about that assessment, at least in terms of the "most" categorization.

During such very sensitive period of the crypto market, of bitcoin, ups or downs are totally depends on sneeze of whales. Whenever whales  look into the sky and sneeze, bitcoin and market will move up; whenever whales look on the ground, and sneeze, bitcoin and market will move down.

[Hueristic]

If you guys ever decide on The Philippines, I could host private security. (I'd need to pay my small special forces team a little bit more than usual.) @mic has been there sooo ... everyone who donates a little bit gets a bodyguard for the duration of your stay in the country and escort all the way from and to the airport.

We do have San Miguel Beer.

Sounds good...UNTIL

P.S. I would not suggest any drugs in the party.

If I were to ever consider something like this I would need psychedelics.

[Hueristic]

Fucking Aye!
