- oldpersonintx 3y agocan private security own firearms in the UK? if not, not sure how they are supposed to protect you from the "mob"...
- episteme 3y agoThey cannot. I doubt there are many mobs in the UK willing to shoot private security though.
- workingdog 3y agoLondon historically is a nice city. It's too bad that rampant criminal enterprise has been imported into it.
- BobbyJo 3y agoInequality increases criminal activity. No imports necessary.
- yowzadave 3y agoBeing super-rich comes with the unfortunate affliction of paranoia that criminals are about to take your precious dollars from you, which private security companies are only too happy to exploit to take your precious dollars from you.

- woleium 3y agotherefore the need for security
- RetroTechie 3y agoOh the problems of the super-rich... never feel sorry for the owner of a £50M home. "The super-rich have been warned by their advisers that they could soon expect people with “pitchforks and torches” coming to look for them unless they do more to use their fortunes to help the millions struggling with the cost of living crisis." Unless this world's (super-rich) elites change how they treat / (ab)use everybody else, I'd give it a 50/50 chance that history repeats itself. We know how that goes...
