That Kaiser Chiefs song...

[Somebody Else]

'I predict a riot'


With all this stuff about military underfunding, junior doctors being excluded from the jobs they're doing, 'Big Brother' monitoring of road vehicles, nonsense about green taxes, Iraq, 'interesting' school systems, regulation against parents taking photos of their children, smoking wardens, &c. &c.

I mean, I know we British are a pretty phlegmatic lot, and will put up with a lot. But I can't help but think that it'd be amusing, in a terrible way, if people started getting a tad uppity. Though, it'd probably be a one-way ticket to a full on police-state.

Perhaps I'm being too whimsical...

Won't happen. People are still rather comfortable.

Now, if the economy catastrophically decided to fall apart at some point, then issues would arise.

What?
Regulations against parents taking photos of their children? Are you serious?

What?
Regulations against parents taking photos of their children? Are you serious? Here, (http://news.scotsman.com/topics.cfm?tid=686&id=1393752002) though I suppose certain other elements are un-PC enough - after all, a nativity play? That's a bit divisive isn't it?

And I do remember reading something about some people who photographed their child/children in a park and ended up having council workers coming into their house to investigate them for paedophilia. I can't verify it however, I'm not sure where I came across it, and it could very well be one of the nightmares I've been having about this country (it's hard to distinguish them from reality these days.)

Maybe we should put a ban on thinking for politicians. That way we could spare ourselves a lot of idiotic measures.

Politicians think? I thought they just looked at press headlines and take the first knee-jerk reaction.

UK asylum policy:

Five US citizens are living off benefits in Britain as they try to claim asylum.

The extraordinary situation was revealed by a whistleblower today who claims it shows just what a easy target the UK has become. And when applications are turned down - the five Americans will almost certainly be rejected - they can immediately ask for legal aid to fight their appeal.
He said: "Britain is seen as such a soft touch that poor people from countries such as America are even coming here now.

"A couple of years ago I met two black guys from the States who were over here because they thought they could get a better standard of living. One was from Ohio and the other from Kansas. "They claimed asylum because they said they were racially discriminated against at home. But they freely admitted they were here for the healthcare and accommodation. It is an absolute joke. They could have been there for up to five years before their application was processed."

He said: "Instead of them being kicked out of the country, we were told to let them go." It comes after a series of scandals in the immigration service. In July a corrupt immigration officer was exposed after admitting helping 200 bogus asylum seekers enter Britain for cash.

Senior Home Office worker Joseph Dzumbira, 35, bragged that he could get anyone refugee status for £2,000. In January female asylum-seekers were granted passports and visas in return for sex at immigration headquarters Lunar House, Croydon.

A Home Office spokesman confirmed today that five American nationals have claimed asylum this year. I'll be coming over for the weekend, to save on my healthcare bill a bit. I'll be claiming asylum (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=410653&in_page_id=1770&in_page_id=1770&expand=true). Have the following ready by this saturday: a dentist, a place to stay, a massage salon, my weekly allowance, two premiership tickets, and the removal of all St. George's flags because I consider those an affront.

Oh, and I'll be taking your job (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=439284&in_page_id=1766&in_page_id=1766&expand=true)too if you don't mind. Cheers.

A town is being stripped of scores of public sector jobs because its residents are "too white and British".

The incredible decision, which could lead to an investigation by the Commission for Racial Equality, was disclosed yesterday in a leaked official letter. It is the first known case of its kind, but MPs warned similar moves could secretly be taking place across the country as civil servants are under enormous pressure from ministers to boost the number of ethnic minorities working in the public sector.

Director of finance Ann Beasley - one of Home Secretary John Reid's top civil servants - said the town had too many white British residents. Under the heading "key influencing factors", the letter states: "Our ability to attract a more diverse workforce - 93.7 per cent of the population of Corby are white British, compared to 59.6 per cent in Leicester"

There's a lesson here. Moaning is good and a sign of a healthy country. Moaning and then doing anything about it is a bad idea, especially when the people you moan about are heavily armed.

And the people doing the slaughtering in Ireland were the British. I wouldn't rise up against us.

As for the Corby story, it didn't take Louise Bagshaw* long to play the race card did it?

* Now Tory candidate for Corby and author of chaste chick lit books , formerly mad keen on new labour and author of bodice ripping shopping and ******* books, also formerly tax exile in the Republic of Ireland so as not to pay any UK tax on her royalties, and finally the biggest gobsite pain in the backside in the Oxford Union during my time there, and that, my friends, is saying one hell of a lot.

I don't have much time for Ms Bagshaw.

I found the members of the Union to be the most charming and delightful of people, in the lead-up to elections.

Yes, English civil wars seem to have a tendency to end up being brutal enough to put people off having more for a few centuries. So might be a good idea not to go there, especially with nuclear weapons. "We nuked England so it wouldn't fall into enemy hands" seems far fetched but...
