Not long ago there were “rules” out of Belgium for the European Common Market participants that said Bananas had to be round and couldn’t curve beyond a certain degree and the strawberries had to be perfectly shaped. And you could not sell misshapen banana and strawberries! Eventually those asinine “rules” were dropped.

Please! Someone! Find a way to fire all those European government workers over there that have been hired by the liberal party that now can’t find anything to do except to issue these petty nutty dictums.

This stuff is like a virus….Soon we here in America will be infected. We have no shortage of libs here. I can see the light bulbs flickering now, over there heads.

What sheer stupidity. I’m speechless.

“”Terms such as ‘afternoon’ and ‘evening’ are somewhat subjective in meaning and can vary according to a person’s culture or nationality.”

Pass the vomit bucket, please.

I thought immigrants to Britain were supposed to adopt British culture? If the standards are so low that the government can’t expect immigrants to abide the term “evening,” then I suspect the country is in the toilet awaiting that final flush.

Every afternoon, and sometimes in the evening, he liked to puff on a fag and occasionally a cigarette too.
He denied he was homosexual–or “gay” in layman’s terms–but women were invisible to him just like a taxman is to a cockatoo.

So man the phones and call all the youth.
Tell them this poem if you want to be uncouth.

Word to the mother.

ditto for a lot of pendulums

GeS, I’ll have to take your word as to the merits of the movie, but I’d be willing to lay an awful lot of money on the table that says the average working copper over in Britain thinks that switching the name of the various “Forces” to “Services” was a (bloody) stupid idea.

Fifteen or so years ago, I was working on a large metro force in Canada when it became a “kindler, gentler” Service*.
It didn’t make people like us more. Or hate us less. Or, for that matter, fear us less (except for the ones that we wanted to be afraid of us -aka: violent criminals).
What it did do, was make us spend millions of dollars changing our letterhead, shoulder flashes, hat badges, cruiser markings and signage -at a time when we were struggling to afford to put enough cops on the street to keep each other safe, much less the general public.
You show me a cop who’ll state publicly that it’s a good thing and I’ll show you a cop who’s on the fast track to become an administrator (IOW, a cop in name only)

Man, when this pendulum starts swinging back the other way…it’s gonna be bloody.

* italicising the word “Service” is meant to display venomous, dripping contempt for the whole idiotic, politically correct, money sucking, pandering, hateful, harmful (and probably even fattening) concept.

This could be a Monty Python script!

There is certainly no lack of gumption in British genes. An entire population doesn’t survive the blitz and degenerate into a blob of goo in less than 70 years. For further evidence, look to the British working class, which is known primarily for its rowdiness. And you could easily argue that in the entire history of civilization, with the possible exception of Rome, the British have been the most successful at imposing their will on other people.

No, it doesn’t have anything to do with British temperment.

It is all brought about by thier elites, who are the direct descendents of their former aristocracy.

And they are pissed.

So pissed that they would destroy the country our of rage at losing their total control of the people.
