Ten Ways to Screw Up in England

Oh, where to begin.

Great Britain is becoming a prototypicaly Socialist "Nanny State" ... one where the government seems determined to deprive citizens of rights, then find fault in every conceivable aspect of life, and finally to designate victims as villains.

Here are Ten Ways To Screw Yourself In England.

(1) Blair has identified "Black Culture" as the cause of "gun and knife violence", and asserts that "Political Correctness Is Not Helping".

Here are a couple of the sweetest Money Quotes:

"... the recent violence should not be treated as part of a general crime wave, but as specific to black youth."

Well, he knows his national culture better than I do. But remember, GB has made it impossible for an honest person (and even some 'dishonest persons') to legally possess a firearm. What is the consequence? "Gun Violence" has degenerated into "Knife Violence". While the "Gun" part is somewhat shifted, the "Violence" goes on and on:

Giving the Callaghan lecture in Cardiff, the prime minister admitted he had been "lurching into total frankness" in the final weeks of his premiership. He called on black people to lead the fight against knife crime. He said that "the black community - the vast majority of whom in these communities are decent, law abiding people horrified at what is happening - need to be mobilised in denunciation of this gang culture that is killing innocent young black kids"

Mr Blair said there needed to be an "intense police focus" on the minority of young black Britons behind the gun and knife attacks. The laws on knife and gun gangs needed to be toughened and the ringleaders "taken out of circulation".

...

The Home Office has already announced it is looking at the possibility of banning membership of gangs, tougher enforcement of the supposed mandatory five-year sentences for possession of illegal firearms, and lowering the age from 21 to 18 for this mandatory sentence.

What? I thought the Brits were already imposing draconian sentences of imprisonment for firearms possession and usage. Didn't they imprison some home-owner for umpteen years for using a shotgun against a home invader? (No link cited ... of course they did, several times in a continuing trend.)
Here's the juicy part:

He called on black people to lead the fight against knife crime.

Oh, well done! You've imposed every possible restriction on firearms ownership, on the grounds that there is no legitimate use for a firearm, and your people are now using knives to kill each other.

Mr Blair spoke out as a second teenager was due to appear in court charged with the murder of 14-year-old Paul Erhahon, stabbed to death in east London on Friday. He was the seventh Londoner under 16 to be murdered since the end of January, and his 15-year-old friend, who was also stabbed, remains in hospital.

How will you justify the imposition of laws against the possession of knives? If you find a way, Tony, The Missus will be reduced to jointing a chicken with a cricket bat and the Yobs will be using their mum's cricket bats to clobber their neighbors.

Don't you GET it yet?

The problem is not the guns, or the knives, or the cricket bats ... the problem is the VIOLENCE. By mandating against means of personal defence, you're only disarmed the honest citizen. Yobs will always be armed.

Here are other ways that Great Britain is invoking Big Brother:

(2) Are you a 'bad neighbor'. You will be sent to Coventry.

(3) Even if you're a perfectly law-abiding citizen, your children will be finger-printed in anticipation of future prosecution ... even if the school headmaster has to lie to them to do the job.

(4) Park your car in a 'no parking' zone? It's no longer an 'oopsy'; it's a criminal action which allows the Bailiffs to enter your home (without a warrant) to serve you.

(5) Got a good "Squirrel Joke"? The Bobbies will hunt you down to make sure you're not abusing rodents.

(6) UK Schools may no longer tell their students that the Nazi's slaughtered 6.5 Jews in WWII concentration camps. It may offend a Muslim, who has been told by his Imam that the Holocaust is a lie.

(7) Join the Royal Marines to defend King and Country? Okay, but don't you dare shoot anybody.

(8) Think that, just because you're a Brit you have privacy rights? F'gettaboutit! They can put a chip in your brain which will provide all of your personal information to anyone who has the equipment to read it, and there's not a thing you can do about it.

(9) Think you can walk down the street without causing an uproar? Now way, somebody is going to yell at you!

Finally, and perhaps most egregious of these measures ....

(10) Wanna Be a Hero? Think your country will love you for "Doing The Right Thing"? Forget about that, too. No matter your motives or your personal sacrifice, Great Britain won't give you public recognition because ... guess what.

That's right, it might offend a Muslim.

The sun has set upon the British Empire.

Don't let it happen here.
