Sten Guns In Knightsbridge

The armed seige in Chelsea, west London earlier this week involving a barrister was, of course, a tragedy, the details of which are yet to fully emerge (http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/may/08/ukcrime.ukguns ). However, the class divide is reflected in the press coverage; a working class male on a council estate acting in the same way would have had a far less sympathetic press.
