Guns are extremely unpopular in the UK, so unless something insane happens like UKIP winning outright, I expect most police will remain unarmed.

In fact, even if UKIP did win outright, I doubt there are enough qualified instructors to train a significant number of police with firearms in just a few months. I think there are only about 1000 officers in the UK with firearms training at the moment.

To be clear, I was talking about culture festivals (as an example of a public gathering). Not just any random day in the city.

I would still be surprised, but I'll concede that is far more likely that what I thought was meant.
