About 1 in 500 people in the UK have probrably ever even been to Harrods, who cares its a shitty little novelty to help sell clothes, I really don't see it as ironic. And who said anything about our country having no worry of gun violence, where did you get that from? People are killed in gun crimes in the UK, just a hell of a lot less then in the USA. Gun crime is still a real issue and in rough areas, people still worry about it. Maybe this small table will be of interest to you:
Gun deaths per 100,000 population
USA (2001)
Homicide: 3.98
Suicide: 5.92
Other: 0.36
England/Wales (2002)
Homicide: 0.15
Suicide: 0.2
Other: 0.03
Scotland (2002)
Homicide: 0.06
Suicide: 0.2
Other: 0.02
