Sure. Massachusetts has their judges appointed. There was
talk about changing this to elections when our lovely Liberal
judges started sentencing those who go after kids with only a few
months in jail, if that. That talk has died down even though
the problem still remains.

His use of the word 'should' is a secondary issue. The more
important one is his implication that all these problems
will be resolved under the English criminal justice system.
There a problem with this assumption because those, who intend
to kill him, do not regard his justice system to be legal.
They don't play by the same legal rules that he does. When
these enemies of his "cheat" by not following his rules, he
will blame his enforcement infrastructure and his prime minister
and the US for not killing these people before the mess
was made in his back yard.

This will happen in each, and every country, that has a
Western civilization living style. Now, those who used
to be subject to the USSR seem to understand that this
political movement has to be stopped. They just got out
from underneath a viscious dictatorship; they don't want
another one that is even more viscious and plans to use
slavery to do the work.

We don't in Massachusetts and it, also, is a mess because of one
political party being dominant for too long.

I think this has more to do with the West figuring out that
exspansionism wasn't working and started to stop. It took
until WWII for Germany and Japan to change their minds.
France still has wafts of it hanging around but is no
longer willing to military might behind their ideas.
Now we have society centers in the Middle East who are
finally rich enough to fund expansionistic projects.
India and Pakistan haven't settled their boundary differences.
China is inching their boundaries slowly out.

It isn't guilt that causes the English to behave the way they do
in these matters. It is socialism that does. It only takes
a teensy upset of the society to push it into communistic dictatorship
or an anarchy. Either way, the Western civ piece of the
society will disappear.
