i think it was around the 1700's that the Tories & the Whigs used to attend parliament armed. Often tooled up with knives. Cos the two parties hated each other. jo cox, stephen timms, David Amess......... how many more ? I see the Left & Right at each others throat in England and there will be no winners in that fight. Only lots and lots of losers.

They are a swords length apart to keep them from stabbing each other. However I don't think they have found a solution to MPs stabbing each other in the back.

You’d have thought anyone intent on running someone through wouldn’t be deterred by a line on the ground.
