and which govt started that ball rolling? Yep, the tories.
Doesnt matter to me. Only difference between the Tories and Labour is that they will tax cut and wage cut us to death, while Labour bury us in regulation and stealth taxes. Oh, and both have autocratic tendencies and an attitude to public service that would make Mussolini blush.
I was pointing it out to stargalaxy et al
Ah, OK.
We live in hideous times. The "oughts" will go down as one of those nasty little historical epochs in which Bad Things happen to dumb people, and things went wrong, and nobody cared, and nobody laughed, and nobody 'Fropped, and fear was the overriding emotion.
Future generations won't even want to talk about us, much as most people these days don't want to talk about the RUC and Northern Ireland in the 50s (Note: The Daily Mail is not a "people"). We'll be an embarrassment, and this decade will be skipped over in school history classes...or worse, it will be re-written to fit the ideals of new century...
...And then Tony Blair rode down out of the sky on a unicorn, and shot rainbows out of his ass, and all the terrorists ran away...
...But I doubt it. More likely, we will be given the same treatment that was given to scum like Adolf Hitler, Richard Nixon, or even Stephen Byers.
So what are we to do about it? Well, let's just look at this objectively: Not much, if what we aim to do is end the madness. Fact is, there isn't a whole lot we CAN do, other than wait for the public to wake the hell up, again.
On the other hand, if history is to judge us, why not get in some cheap yuks? Better to be hanged as a goat than a sheep, after all. If you are stuck in some bizarre nightmare version of the 50s, you may as well take a few pokes at the pigfuckers that are responsible.
We will march on a road of bones. Mahalo.
my brother has already done so lol. He hates the UK, its overpriced, overpopulated, and all the 'benefits' we get with mod cons etc. are available all over the world, cheaper, and yet there are more relaxed atmospheres, its not about pushing yourself to 'be the best you can be', its about enjoying life. But thats besides from the point.
I will be writing to my MP to complain about this. Stephen Dorrell, however, doesn't seem to do much. He's very snidy, whenever I've wrote to him before he's written back saying it would be unfair of him to comment as he doesn't know. He gets other people to talk to me. I dont care about them. He's my representative.
So I think I will refer to him as Steve to try and get his attention
Samual Adams called, he said could he have your spine since you wont be needing it any more?
Well, the CBI back this Bill, and we know they own the Tories hearts and souls....
Used the words "red tape", which is like the CBI's kryptonite. That or promised to use the law to destroy trade unions and remove minimum wage laws. One or the other.
at least in europe they only have incompetant infighting governments which is far better than 'consensus' from my general experience
Yeah, right. You go on believing that. You might want to have another look at the laws on the Continent. Napoleonic Code based law, limits on freedom of speech.....
Besides, you'll be missing out on the party I'll be throwing here. I love planning ahead...
haha, yeh i know which countries have limits on free speech, thats why im looking properly
havent found anything too bad about NZ or canada yet
So what are you going to do then?
Shag sheep in the vain hope that the Chaos Theory will sort things out?
id refrain before MI5 knock on your door
Wont matter by that point, if the Bill is passed. I'll be facing at least 2 years in prison for retroactive crimes anyway. We Discordians were born guilty. :thumb:
Im sure America has an invasion plan drawn up for canada...
you been watching too much west wing :thumb:
actually in the 60s or 70s they were thinking of it i believe
