  • Rename Terrorism

    in , , , ,

    If only [tag]terrorism[/tag] were renamed to ‘mild trepidation-ism‘ it wouldn’t be so effective. Fortunately, I live in the [tag]UK[/tag], [tag]England[/tag] specifically, where our stiff-upper-lip-ed-ness prevents us from being too affected by [tag]terrorist[/tag] attacks. It’s only when services are damaged that the country is really slowed. Clearly there are some who unfortunately bear the brunt, often…

  • Communist Britain

    in

    It is being reported that private schools may be blackmailed into lending teachers to state schools. Private schools provide a service to those who can afford it, just like any business, but face the prospect of having to share their resources with those who can’t (or choose not to), with no input from the parents…

  • Scientology Is A Cult

    in

    I just wanted to use the word ‘[tag]cult[/tag]’ it since it enrages them so. Religions generally preach peace, forgiveness, etc., yet it appears [tag]Scientology[/tag] is all about brain-washing, coercion, and the elimination of anyone who even considers any contrary beliefs. How anyone can defend such behaviour is beyond me. I am glad to learn that…

  • AFBO – Anti Fat-Bastard Order

    in

    Sitting on a local train today, I watched as three larger-than-healthy people got on and found seats near me. The gran, mum and son struggled to sit at a table designed for four, while I sat at the table on the other side of the aisle. Gran was the smallest of the three, but had…

  • Brits Reputation

    in

    Whilst in Andorra snowboarding* for a week, I found that it was my fellow Brits who were the most annoying. It was a Brit who decided to leave his board in the middle of the learners’ hill. After my gf’s polite request that it was moved to the side, and my subsequent equally polite request…

  • BA drops ban on wearing crosses

    in

    BA has announced that it has changed its rules regarding [tag]religious[/tag] items its staff can wear. As with many [tag]rules[/tag] and [tag]law[/tag]s, problems only appeared because they were far too specific. English law has the benefit of the word ‘reasonable’, allowing sensible flexible rules. Had their rules simply said “non-uniform [tag]cultural[/tag] and religious [tag]jewellery[/tag] and…

  • You’re Too Fat

    in , , , ,

    The BBC is today reporting on the suggestion that ‘Plus-Size’ clothes tags should include [tag]obesity[/tag] help-line numbers. I agree – it’s a fact that many ‘heavy’ people are [tag]fat[/tag] because of lack of will-power (rather than any of the rare relevant medical condition), and every encouragement guilt-inducing-method should be used to help them. Call me…

  • CCTV – Not Invading Privacy

    in

    Last week saw another wave of ‘public concern’ over the increasing numbers of CCTV cameras. The BBC recently used the topic as one of their ‘Have Your Say‘ debates. The majority of the replies ‘recommended by readers’ were scathing remarks against the “you must have a guilty conscience” “brigade”. Unfortunately for them, many of these…
