Political and topical news and commentary
I don't.

I am British born (Scottish--not English), but have spent my life in Southern Africa and other countries in Africa. I spend time in the UK now and then, so I have
become slightly ameliorated in the British way of life. I cannot understand the thinking on the small Island. The British impose "Nanny State" laws on their own
citizens that amaze me.
-There is a maximum 1000 pound fine if your dog poops on the pavement.
-There are electronic chips in dustbins to monitor re-cycling.
-You cannot smoke anywhere near a hospital or school.
-You cannot exert too much discipline on little thugs who tell their teachers to F--- off.
-You cannot grow your hedge too high.
-You dare not go anywhere near a disabled (sic) parking space unless you have a special badge.
-You dare not park anywhere without feeding a machine with money (Old men are watching you).
-You cannot throw a fag butt, chewing gum or a condom at random into the bushes.

There are hundreds more. What you CAN do is much more exciting.

-You can allow so many illegal immigrants into the country that they shoot policemen and policewomen. You can be excused
from not knowing how many illegals there are.
-You can shoot people in tube stations if they run too quickly.
-You can be so thick as to think that Muslims in Britain are not subject to indoctrination.
-You can be be even thicker by not realising that some crime is linked to people who live in Britain illegally.
-If you want to be really thick, you'll disregard the fact that your own people, no matter where they come from, riot, burn and loot like Somali thugs.
-You allow Somali drug gangs and the Nigerian syndicates and the Ethiopian rubbish sucking on Britain's teats, to wreak havoc, sell drugsand kill shopkeepers.
Rule 54: Do not discriminate!
Sorry Rule 54 , I'm not pointing fingers at people---just the gangs that have been allowed Carte Blanche. Shall I mention Kenyans, Phillipinos and Chinese too? Better not.

What about Zimbabweans? Are they exempt?
Rule 55: Zimbabweans are definitely exempt. They no longer have a country.They do have the Zimbabwe Ruins.

Sorry, I digress.

-If you want to be monumentally thick you'll open pubs for 24 hours(even though you have a bad reputation for having pub yobs and soccer yobs in your midst), and stretch
an already over-stretched police force to the limit by asking them to be on duty for 24 hours.

Did you know that the "Nanny State" is actually getting very close to being an ungovernable state? Well, that's what I think. Headmaster Blair is losing a war
against civilised behaviour. He is too busy cosying up to Dubya.He and his cronies have lost the plot.

I'll make certain I pick up my dog's poop, Mr Blair. then everything will be "hunky Dory".


I can see a new motto coming : We fight them on the pavements, the roads and the no-smoking zones but we have no F****** idea how to deal with an immigrant problem/crime/terrorism. Insert your other nouns.

You are asking us? You, the South African, born Scottish, that knows more about America than most Americans?  And you are asking us?

Is this a put on?

I find it frightening that anybody could possibly not at all understand why such a regulation could be made.

Blame the British Empire. It's my understanding that every citizen of a former British colony can hold a British passport and have dual citizenship. Can come and go to the UK as they please. That is why so many Jamaicans, West Indians, (East) Indians, Nigerians, Ghanaians, Hong Kong Chinese, and the like can come to London for work.

I swore that I was not living in London while I was living in London. Didn't see any white people! Played a fun game: "Spot the White Man"...

He's right. I'm British...don't live there any more, but...

We treated folks so crappily when we wanted to rule the world that we felt we owed them something when it was over, so we told them that they could all come live and work in the UK and sponge off the welfare system if they wanted to. They took us up on our offer, bought their friends and many, many relatives....and Bob's yer uncle. You've got the UK as it currently stands. A fuck up, a conglomeration of peoples and ethnicities, all of whom are still trying desperately to hang on to their cultural identities and none of whom want to be British. They're just there for the money and the beer....which , coincidentally, they can now get 24 hours a day.

I'm so glad I don't live there any more.

Not a put-on Doctor G.
More like frustration as I travel to Britain regularly. Now I live peacefully in Egypt and wonder sceptically about the World from one of the friendliest conclaves in the Middle East.

The "Small Island" mentality really bothers me. The Big Picture remains vague!
