Re: very sad...:-(

I think you need to step back and calm down - this article is about the sad and untimely death of a young IT innovator. It's really not the place for a paranoid rant about your twisted view of the "world order".

Deprivation Britain: 1930s all over again? Codswallop!

Re: 1930s

Yes, but is that poverty or child neglect. Too many so-called parents are more concerned with alcohol, tobacco and their own lifestyle and pay too little attention to the needs of their children. The problems just ain't that simple!

Brit gun nut builds working sniper rifle at home out of scrap metal

Don't you El Reg guys think you're being a BIT sensationalist with this article title? I don't see any evidence of this individual being in ANY way a "gun nut" plus you could NEVER describe the Enfield as a "sniper rifle" (it was never made to be such a firearm).

As others have said, someone found an old receiver and built it up into a functioning rifle. If anything, it's an example of imagination and technical competence.

Get over yourselves Reg-Girls.
