A Human Face Frowning Outside Boots
By Gainsbourgemma2001 offered up this bleak vision of the present in response to David Mitchell’s CiF piece on the burqa debate. Thanks to Giles.
When a Goverment starts telling people what they should wear we are on the road to George Orewells 1984 which is the country we now live in
But remeber today sunday we allow the Goverment to tell us that Tesco/Asda/Sainsburys can only open for 6 hours to let us shop
What hope has this country got of ever living in freedom when we allow the Goverment to tell us when to shop
Think of it
Emma

Just think of it, when you’re trudging all the way to the corner shop at 4:01pm this Sunday. Think: “this is my Oceania. This is my war-torn totalitarian murderhole. This is my Iraq, my Zimbabwe, my Sudan. They may not be laying waste to my cultural heritage. They may not be violently suppressing dissent. They may not be dragging my family away to death camps. But they are restricting trading hours for one day of each week. Repression of basic human desires. Just as Orwell predicted. Shit, I’m like a philosopher or something. I could murder some Space Raiders.”

The government should tell our local bus company that they don’t need to take the detour up to Tesco after 4:00 on Sunday…. because it’s closed.
Emma 2001. Saint Catherine Oliver with issues.
apologies for the state of my blockquotes there
“Just as Orwell predicted.” It’s “Orewell”, please – don’t you know anything? Please remeber that in future.
Space Raiders? emma2001 strikes me as a Burger Bites kind of gal. Served in a white “bread” sandwich with corner shop ketchup.
The Burger Bites, not our em, go in the sandwich. Just thought I’d clear up any confusion.
@Zoned Clone. I’m still very confused ‘cos I reckon our Em is well up for a zombie sandwich.
Shop opening hours as indicative of the degree of freedom in a country? What about the poor twats that work so Emma can get her Monster Munch whenever she pleases? Oh, Mr. Orewell also predicted and celebrated the low wage economy. That’s alright then. I’m off to join a campaign to overturn that ridiculous vote in Catalonia to ban bull-fighting. What would that Mr. Hemmmmmingway say?
This has got to be a spoof. Either that, or Emma stands outside ASDA on a Sunday at 5pm with a loudhailer, horn-rimmed spectacles and a Spanish guitar covered with stickers, loudly proclaiming to startled passers-by that the ‘closed’ sign is a ‘symbol of your oppression.’ I like emma2001.
Imagine her post being read by a hippy addressing a peace rally through a megaphone, in that SLOW…PASSIONATE…STYLE…where they put EMPHASIS on every other WORD and you’ll get my picture of emma2001.
Bwhahahaha. I read that piece, and the minute I saw her comment, I somehow knew it would end up here. Nicely done.
If only poor Emma2001 had steered clear of the inappropriate invocation of Orwell she could easily have got out of this with some of her dignity intact. She could have mentioned Thomas Paine’s views on the state keeping its nose out of religion and religion keeping its nose out of the state and everybody would have smiled and nodded but, no, it had to be Orwell.
You get buses on Sunday? You lucky sod! Do they have wheels and everything? Round my way they run a Sunday style service during the week and then observe the Lord’s day by making damn sure that nobody can go anywhere without a car, even to Church.
This is like the 24 hours drinking thread, many contributers ask “what are the benefits of 24 hour opening hours? How about so I can have a drink when I finish work at 3AM, before I retire to my bed for 6 hours sleep before getting up and starting it all over again.
Not all of us are on benefits or in some cushy public sector 9 to 4:30 job telling others when they can or cannot drink. The point emma bless her was making, is that if we must live in a “multicultural” society, why are we sticking to christian hours of opening. If God did make the world in six days, he must have used Sunday to do his shopping.
What hope have we of freedom when we’re on the road towards to a destination we’ve arrived at?
And when I tried to buy a steak at 3 O’clock in the morning I found the Government had closed the butcher’s, hidden the sun and made everyone in my neighbourhood go to sleep.
Oh yes. They have wheels, seats, two tone paintwork, air conditioning and even engines!
@Oaf, do they also have the obligatory back-of-the-bus lunatic?
What’s this about shops shutting? My local Tesco’s is open 24 hours a day.
But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over herself. He loved Monster Munch and Big Brother.
*she… arse!
When Emma is led into Room 101, she is greeted by a solemn-faced Asda employee.
‘Hello, Emma. Care for some Twiglets?’
‘Y…yes?’
‘Well, you can’t. It’s Sunday. We’re closed.’
Needless to say, Emma broke within minutes.
It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansions, though not quickly enough to reach the Ministry of Plenty Victory Store before its shutters rolled down with a crash.
“Goldstien’s theories of market opening hours are doubleplusungood” thought Winston, knowing in his heart that he was lying to himself.
Listen, Tim nice but dim…
Nah. Not worth the trouble.
There are so many “aliens” in our town, that when Ramadam is on, our Halal butcher gives up and goes on holiday.
Please have your Lurk, I am all ears, what is your secret?
Save the “jokes” for Stormfront, Tim.
That would be the difference between being an adorable t@#t and just a t@#t?
DimTim:
I’m coming to your neighbourhood, and I’m bringing all my plankton-eating friends with me.
Has Redwatch lost one of it’s village idiots?
Poor emma2001 is fraught with worry that the Government, or Big Brother (the totalitarian system, not the reality TV show) is going to tell her what to wear. No more fake Gucci hangbags and boobtubes. The horror.
I like her too. She makes me laugh in a patronisingly superior way.
Dimmy Timmy
Move from Islamabad then.Try Hicksville USA, probably more to your liking.

I’ve no need, they’re all living in Sparkbrook now
Nelson – Please, BLAH the f#$k out of me..
…the horror! (I love the smell of Bacardi Breezers in the morning)
Should be:
With growing income disparities between the rich and poor, we are on the road to George Orwell’s Road to Wigan Pier, which is the country (road/town/pier) we now live in now.
But I don’t live in Wigan Pier. Can I have a toffee-apple?
Oh Tim please will you just fuck off and read the Daily Mail or something.
Also, I’m noticing a distinct drop off in pedantry on recent threads. Incorrect punctuation and grammar are rife! where are all the pedants?
Somebody should tell him that Muslims still eat during Ramadan, so he’s probably missing out on a lot of business.
Come to think of it, this doesn’t make sense on any level. Would he stay if there were fewer “aliens”? Do Muslims only start observing Ramadan if they reach a critical mass? Would a smaller Muslim population force this (entirely fictional) butcher to branch out, e.g. into Kosher butchery?
I bet emma2001 is on the Ents committee at her college and by doing so, she thinks that she is making a really worthwhile contribution to life at her university.
Indeed, more pedantry! After all, being a pedant is just one letter away from being a paedant, and with paedantry to the fore can peadophilia be far behind? (Yes, the Hello Kitty-themed Hells Angels jacket, thanks.)
We’ll start with Tim nice but dim. Timmy, baby, what the jizziming fuck, man? We’re all xenophobes to some extent, but you come across as an actual, fucking, racist, Fascist, neo-Nazi scumbag fucktard slimebag cunt-of-cunts, yea, unto aeternum. (That’s the watered-down version.) What the f*** are you doing here? Not that I’m not grateful for someone who’s even more twatty than myself, but seriously, if you believe all that shit then why don’t you… eh… go off and associate with your own kind?
(Please don’t be so pedantic as to point out the lack of pedantry in my anti-Tim diatribe.)
Please don’t feed the mingebag. It’ll just encourage him.
At Have your Lurk
“what am I doing here”, Just trying to bring a little balance to a rapidly Left Wing, Guardian reading, anti HYS site.And brush up on my punctuation and spelling.
So you’re jealous of the generally fuckwit-free environment here, and have to pollute it with your own twatfulness in order to drag it down to the level of the other bits of the internet you infest.
Rapidly? Not for what you’re payin’, guv.
I pride myself in being rapidly left wing, I can read the Guardian from cover to cover in half an hour.
And it’s preferable to being a rabidly right wing shithead who can’t post a comment on an obscure pisstake blog without frothing at the mouth about aliens “invading” some West Midlands shitheap.
There’s a positive side to Tim nice but dim. HYS is, literally, coming to us in order to get shredded to tiny bits. It’s not really correct to call him a troll, because the very definition of SYB is that we take idiots to pieces; all trolls are idiots; hence we are troll-proof, by definition.
It’s like having an interactive post written by Nelson or somebody. We say something amazingly funny; Tim nice but dim actually replies; and we hang and quarter him. And Tim seems to be quite happy with this arrangement, actually. (Although if he then goes and slashes his wrists or something and leaves a suicide note blaming SYB, then, um, well, fuck it, that’s one HYS fucktard less to worry about.)
I have proposed marriage to Emma2001 and am pleased to announce that she as accepted. I formally invite all those on SYB to the wedding, a wedding gift list will be appended shortly.
I bags the dildo with the Swarovski swastikas on the knob end.
It’s like the void is staring back.
And commenting.
I quite like it when a real, live HYSer breaks into the SYB common room.
Nowt going on on HYS today (apart from the world’s most boring people giving the world’s most boring opinions on bull-fighting), but here’s another smooth ladies man from Das Mail. A female kickboxer was accidentally killed.
Simon thinks that the sound of a rape alarm is just a noise women make during conversation.
You missed a capital ‘W’ there, Mouse.
Yes but he has to be booked in advance. You can do it on the interwebnethingy now though.
Spesh ? He’s on to us!!!
KICK HIM!!!
Boring, how can you say that with quotes like this below
Now you see why the is an overflow of refugees like myself claiming asylum from HYS now that BBC appointed Lefty Alex Gubbay as ruined HYS. Now where to I sign on at SYB for my free benefits and council flat, its my Uman rites you know!
Tim, I’m intrigued by the notion that your presence here provides ” balance “. This is a website for likeminded people, not a news bulletin. Presumably if you cleave to this notion thoroughly, you’d be happy for us to go onto Migrationwatch’s website and spam them for ” balance ” ?
Having Tim here could be a real oppurtunity. We have a chance to pick the branes of an HYSer, really find out what makes them tick, and perhaps find some understanding.
Alternatvely, we could punch ourselves in the genitals for hours and hours. Whichever seems more fun.
Dear Tim,
You are an absolute fuckmuffin.
Sincerely,
The Human Race
“Please don’t feed the mingebag. It’ll just encourage him.”
what about if we feed the wankstain some razorblades, and condoms packed with rat vomit?
From the Mail online (real news) article on our Minister without portfolio (the one that broke her own rules on employing illegal immigrants) getting eggs thrown at her
Under Lefty law, BNP members are fair game!
@Tim
Christ, if you think Baroness Warsi is a “lefty” I’d love to hear your views on, say, Peter Tatchell.
really? i’ll get my shotgun.
…Zoooooom!
@ligne
I wouldn’t.
..or @Guardianistani.
To be honest Timmikins’ views on Peter Tatchell are something I would probably pay to avoid hearing.
Yeah, I really could’ve worded that better. I don’t even want to hear Tim’s views on the weather.
I’d like to hear TimDim’s view of the side of a tall building, as he plummets from the top to his doom. I know it would probably sound like “aaaaaaaaaa” with the sound of weeing, but I’d like to be scientifically certain.
A truly excellent way to end random brain-spunks.
Think of it.
@ Jones
I’m in the think of it right now, and it is a depressing place to be.
If I’m right.
Actually, Tim should stay – he’s earned it with the ‘rapidly left wing’ typo. As they say on teh internetz – I lol’ed and even roflmaod a little bit. Do one thing for me TNBD – never proof read before posting.
Personally i dont see what the fuss is. our judiciary made the right decision to release the bulger killers four years into thier sentence, and have done so here. perhaps it is time for the g8 protestors to look at thier actions, ideally via a public enquiry
I love the way that Tim singles out BNP egg-hurling as an example of ” lefty law ” but fails to note that assaulting journalists in front of the rest of the press, printing private telephone numbers so BNP members can harass reporters,etc. are pretty good examples of ” right wing knobcheese thug law “
Now i’ve got to run to the shop and buy some space raiders, possibly a bag of pickled onion monster munch.
A big bottle of Cherry Diet Coke, 2 packs of Salt ‘n’ Vinegar Chipsticks, Twenty Lambert and a copy of The Anarchist’s Cookbook, please, Fellow Oppressed Drone of The Anti-Consumer Tyranny… Oh, and a pack of Rizla.
Well, well, you learn something new everyday… Rizla is a portmanteau of Riz + La. So named because the papers are from rice, and the Lacroix family have produced them since the 16th century en France. Well, there you go.
Contrast and compare…
One of the above is Timmy (a little lamb with a lot to learn). The other is ‘John Adair’, a shitty parody of HYS racist John Adair, writing on the Blah Your Branes forum in September last year.
* Posted this on previous thread. Felt pleased with self. Realised no-one would look there. Felt less pleased. Reposted here. Felt pleased but a bit ashamed. Realised no-one gives a fuck what I have to say. Felt sad.
Sitting at home on a Sunday afternoon unable to purchase cheesy wotsits from Sainsbury’s, Emma2001 finally understands what it must have felt like being Jewish in 1938 in Nazi Germany, cowering in the attic…
…Or something equally cunty and demonstrating a complete lack of a sense of proportion.
Wait…what?! You mean that DimTim is some kind of Inception based level 3 racist, and if we collectively wake up we’re going to be confronted by John Adair? Deep…
On the other hand:
… and my wife is down there, are shes pissed off.
*and.
I like beef-flavour Hula Hoops. Am I normal?
Ferfucksake, Pete. Beef flavour Hula Hoops?
I hope that was some kind of euphemism.
That’s because the police secretly wish that they had thrown the eggs at Griffin. A person described by one of my friends as looking like someone has stretched luncheon meat over a toad.
I’ve seen many brainfarts on this site, but only Tim has managed to follow through while sharing one.
Yup. There are no white rapists, muggers or gangsters. Everyone knows that. FACT.
On the discussion of names and how we can tell if someone is a soldier or a rapist from their surname, whenever I heard Charles Taylor mentioned on the news, I thought he was a white man, doing his bit for Africa. But then I found out he was a black war-criminal.
See with a last name like Mugabe, you know where you stand. But Charles Taylor? Charles McArthur Taylor. Sounds like a greengrocer.
Confusing innit? Think of it.
Surely you can tell what colour he is by the fact that the things he did were bad?
After all, whoever heard of a white war criminal?
Oh.
Consider the possibility that Emma2001 might only be a precocious nine-year-old, and therefore just a trainee Catherine Oliver.
Description of Nick “nick nick” Griffin:
Emma2001, we can be together forever. I will take you down 24/7 supermarkets, we can shop at the toiletries section in the twilight hours, make love next to the vegetables at sunrise… oh sweet Emma2001, be mine.
