The British Way

I cannot help noticing the stark differences in the British way of law enforcement from the rest of the world. Britain had two major terrorist attacks recently. They identified the suspects very quickly. Yet they have arrested hardly three or four people so far. This stands out in sharp contrast with what happened in Egypt who also had a major terrorist attack last week. What did the Egyptian police do? They immediately arrested over seventy (70) people, and put them in jail (the old ‘round up the usual suspects’ routine). The reaction is USA after 9/11 was no different from the Egyptians. Hundreds were put in jail, and many still remain there with no charges filed against them.
The British authorities admitted their mistake and promptly apologized when they killed a Brazilian in their hunt for terrorists. It will be a long wait before anyone in USA admits a mistake like that!
The Good Old British. There is still some decency left with them. Hope they can keep it.
