Electric sheep. Wow!

Found this on the Englishman's blog.




Well worth a minute or two out of your busy day

Call me racist. Oh no you can't.

An asian postmaster has refused to serve customers that can't speak english. He rightly states that when he arrived in the UK, he appreciated what it was to be British. Ie, fit in with our culture.

There's a huge Union Flag flying proudly outside Deva Kumarasiri's house and it's been there so long the edges are tattered and torn.

Nearby, another one flutters from the back of his favourite Land Rover as he drives to work as the local cornershop postmaster.

Not sure how the racial equality righteous are going to handle this.

UPDATE: I heard on radio two today that he's been sacked.

We are losing 39 pubs per week

500 things you can't do now.

I occasionally pop over to the website of the Grumpy old Sod. There is always something over there to have a good chortle, seeth, cry at,etc.

Now he has made a list of 500 things you can't do anymore.

Have a look

It makes you despair but written in such a way as to stop you slitting your wrists

I particularly liked this one:

141. You can't refuse entry to your house to someone who wants to enforce the Ottawa Convention on Landmines.

Sanctimonious Cockwaffler

I read this comment on another Blog tonight. Obviously a Righteous clone of the first order. Even when other posters had stated that the tax at the moment, was more than enough to cover the consequences of the binge drinking, he still didn't understand.

Why can't he understand that it is the attitude to drinking that needs to change, and that price won't effect the average binge drinker? They'll just give up something else like food. I should know, because that's how my twin brother died. Read below.

I have been an advocate of a minimum price for things for a while now.

Well, not a minimum price as such, but an obscene level of tax on things like Alcohol, Cigarettes etc… to the point where a pint is £10 and a pack of fags £15 say.

The way I see it, as it stands, people will go out with £50 or often more, and with that money they can buy so much alcohol they could kill themselves if they wanted to, several times over. Education isn’t working, police presence isn’t working, so what will? Well, they are going to take out their £50 or more regardless, so limit the amount they can buy with their money. If their money only buys them a few drinks rather than a fair few pints plus a fair few shots, that can only be a good thing.

In addition, if this is coupled with tax breaks on non alcoholic beverages in clubs, and fining clubs that have blind drunk people coming out of their exists at the end of the night (easy to spot), it will be in the clubs best interests to throw out people “well on their way”.

Add it all up and it starts to become very difficult to get totally smashed on a night out, which means less NHS pressure due to dealing with drunk people, and less alcohol fuelled violence at the end of the night.

Put it this way, i’m 25, and as you can imagine, no stranger to city centre pubs and night clubs, and during my first and second year student days in particular I drunk to excess like everyone else (although I was never violent), and there were times when I was glad to have some friends around me or I would have simply passed out in the street or been arrested most likely. How pathetically stupid was I? Seriously embarrassing to remember how much I was drinking just a few years ago. Thankfully i’ve grown up since then. These days I don’t drink at all. I like to go out, but I equally like waking up early the following morning and not being hungover, and not having to worry whether i’m still over the limit to drive from the night before.

I’m not trying to be holier than thou though, and say that no-one should drink, just that drinking should be in moderation, and the best way to ensure that is to make it financially difficult, coupled with other measures, for people to get into such a state on a night out. After all, rules and regulations don’t work. Banning things doesn’t work. Hitting people in the pocket works every time.

Not holier than thou? Yes you are, you pig ignorant gobshite.

And he continues later on with this

I really don’t see a problem with this for one simple reason. Public attitudes. Just take cigs. Who would dare criticise the increase in duty on them year on year? No-one, because it’s now socially unacceptable. Alcohol is getting to be the same. Criticising any clamp down is a loser, and will only get more so as time goes on.

Oh, and his name is John, if you happen to meet him in a dark alleyway whilst trollied.

Sharon bloody Shoesmith

This evil biddy really is trying my patience. Can she not see that being sacked for being useless at her job, is what most normal people would accept?

Not content with trying to push the blame onto everyone else, she's now trying to gain compensation under the sexual discrimination act.

She will argue at an employment tribunal she was unfairly dismissed and treated 'less favourably' than a man in similar circumstances.

To back up her claim, she will point out her successor as head of children's services was a man - as was her replacement as chair of the local safeguarding board.

The fact that this Bloody Incompetent Twat is trying to screw £1M out of the taxpayer makes my blood boil.

You've got to be kidding

Different standards for the ruling elite

Yet again the double standards of our ruling "Elite" come to the fore.

The G20 summit will have an indoor smoking area. WTF, are they not bound by the same law as you and me. If not, why not? I suppose they'll say it is "security" or some other weasle worded bullshit. Well, I value my security in that I don't want to die of pneumonia, in a pub garden at -5 deg C.

World leaders to flout the smoking ban.

I sincerely hope the local authority come down on them and fine the World leaders for smoking illegally. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Bastards

Update:

Members of pro-choice group Freedom2choose are understandably furious with this decision, claiming it as double standards.

Andy Davis, chairman of the group states, 'this clearly demonstrates that there are alternative solutions to the current smoking ban that our government is ignoring. Smoking rooms would provide welcome relief for our hospitality industry with the ban being acknowledged as one of the major factors in its current downturn.'

This amendment is also viewed as confirmation by the government that it is inconvenient (unnecessary) for smokers to leave the premises should they wish to smoke, and that it isn't deemed civilised to treat people in this manner.

'Our government are accommodating, rightly so, the political leaders from across the globe, yet they are not prepared to accommodate millions of their own citizens,' continues Andy Davis. 'This concession should now be made available to all private businesses and clubs for them to adopt if they so desire.'

The smoking ban legislation, incorporated into the Health Act 2006, prevents smoking in all substantially enclosed public places and all places of work. The Excel Exhibition Centre falls into this category.

Powers of arrest

I was just browsing another web site a moment ago, when my eye was drawn to this article in the Guardian. It's about an ex Police Officer who is petitioning No 10 to repeal a particularly odious piece of legislation.

A retired senior police officer has expressed concern about the "sweeping power" that he claims is being abused on a daily basis in all of the 43 police forces.

It would appear that the plods can arrest you at the drop of a hat. Didn't know it had come to that.
