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.”

I’d like to count the ways gabriel100 makes everyone think he’s a bucket of mung, but it’s much easier to just post a couple of his comments and call him a twat.

Completely the correct decision.

It was wrong of the officer to push him, but really it was his lifestyle which caused his death, not a mere innocuous fall (which even a frail pensioner would have gotten up from).

Tomlison completely brought it upon himself. A group of stressed, frightened and pent-up Police Officers are trying to clear a street. Tomlinson is being needless awkward, taking baby steps, refusing to move along etc. Thus, someone lost his temper and gave him a little shove. Its all there in the video – no more to it than that.

I have zero respect for people who wrongly demonise the Police, and even less for those who like to act up to antagonise the Police, then wail like a pathetic child when they get what is coming to them.

So, the correct decision is not to prosecute and I am equally delighted for the officer as I was for Sgt Delroy Smellie, (another cop whom that digusting rabble of rioters that day had unfairly complained about – they didn’t like him hitting back after he was assaulted, it seems).
gabriel100

They had Tomlinson bang to rights, and no mistake. Not only was he on the chubby side and sold newspapers for a living – common sense tells you that’s a diet of Micro Chips and Fray Bentos – but he was walking away from the police, with his hands in his pockets! That’s antagonising behaviour if you ask me. What else do you call not running for your fucking life when you’ve got a bunch of titheads with the mist bearing down on you? Didn’t Tomlinson know that coppers and dogs work on fear? And Pedigree Chum?

gabriel100, though – this crusty thong string isn’t done. Clearly not satisfied with the general thrust of public opinion in the Guardian – that he’s a twat – he goes on to prove that not only is comment free, but it’s also really shit and depressing.

I notice that the posters who disagreed with my analysis above chose to abuse my character in response, rather than take issue with my version of events (simply a commentry of the Guardian’s own video).

I will take that as a grudging acceptance that I am right on the matter.

Some of the idiocy on this thread beggers belief. Some fool actually criticised the Police for being scared and excitable after a day of being pelted with missiles and chemicals by an army of aggressive scum, who were intent on violence from the word go.

Many other countries would have dealt with that riot by breaking out the tanks and machine guns, and yet the feeble minded contributors here bleat about kettling and a wee push in the back.

Imagine you went down the shops after work today, and someone was in your face, not allowing you to move freely, ignoring requests to let you past etc – what would you do? You might eventually lose your temper and give the person a shove. Its not right, but understandable. And all the more understandable after having fought a medieval type battle against the far left mob polluting the streets and causing violence that day,

The British Police are the best in the world. Go live in Burma or something, see how you like their Police – you would come crawling back singing the praises of our bobbies.
gabriel100

Yeah, if you hate the British police so much, why don’t you fuck off and live somewhere much worse – for example, somewhere where the police might clobber you from behind after they catch you walking down the street the wrong way? And then try living somewhere they lie about what happened until a hedge fund manager with a camera phone shows them up for the cunts they always have been. And then when you’re done living there, why don’t you try living somewhere it’s easier to get to the shops.

Honestly, we used to be a nation of shopkeepers. Now you can’t even get a packet of Rich Tea without being harrassed on the high street by a false analogy.

Wow, and just let me say that I’m glad I got through this without resorting to abusing gabriel100’s character! It’d be a terrible world where I didn’t spend my time arguing the toss with a half-blind, sociopathic semen stain with the social awareness of a sackful of monkey abortions.

Here’s what Chris pulled out…

Your Majesty, we have met before, remember me?…. I am the lion that stands on your crown, I am the Dragon that is the spirit of your nation, I am the sword that rose from the lake and was given to Arthur, I am the blood that runs through your nation’s veins, I am the breath that your nation breathes, I am the morning mist on the downs, I am the heather on the moors, I am the sun that shines on the Dales, I am the mountains of caledonia and Cymry, I am the white cliffs of Albion, I am the beat of the Morris man’s bells, I am the sound of the pipes over the hills, I am the snow that falls on the meadows. I am the soldier who fought for you, and you father, and your father’s father, and his, I am the Gesith that stood on Senlac field, I am the wise old man you met when you were young, I am the young man your great grandchildren will meet, I am the ghost of the past, and I am the future…. Remember me now?… Your Majesty?
Sigbrit

Sigbrit, we have met before, remember?…. I am the rapidly descending silence every time you walk into a room, I am the pretty Somali girls who laughed at you on the bus, I am the modern world that makes you shit your silly pants in fear and confusion, I am the weird smell of rotting dog food that you leave behind when you do, I am your parochial bafflement at exotic foodstuffs such as ’sizzling beef in black bean sauce’, I am the look of disappointment glued permanently to your mother’s face, I am your grandchildren’s crippling embarrassment, I am the ghost of your past failures, and I am your dismal future…. Remember me now?… Sigbrit?

When commentator David Mercer said something during the Wimbledon coverage about some supposed “puppy fat” on this year’s paedo’s choice Laura Robson, the Mail called him out on it. With a straight face and everything. Literally tens of people rushed to voice the same two opinions (bad Mercer/good Mercer), and Jo brought this silly prick to our attention.

Sorry but I completely AGREE with Mercer’s comments.
ALOT of the female tennis players now are carrying TOO MUCH weight! You cannot say its “puppy fat” thats an old wives tale!
I can never recall Chris Evert, Billie Jean King or Martina Navratilova carrying a spare tyre of fat around their middle??
The men done have spare tyres do they?
Sorry but the girls are not fit – hence all these little screams when hitting the ball etc…..
Samantha Jane, East Sussex

Samantha artfully tops and tails this dripping pisstowel of unpleasantness with two shining examples of the arsehole’s apology. It’s the apology that isn’t an apology, the brother of ‘not being funny, right’. What it means is: “I deeply regret doing or saying what I’m about to do or say, but not enough to actually refrain from doing or saying it. I’m basically a complete failure of a human being with an overinflated sense of entitlement; nonetheless, I shall deign to consider your pathetic feelings by prefixing the following cuntery with the word ’sorry’, then you can all go, ‘that Samantha is harsh but unfailingly correct. And I tell you what, she’s certainly magnanimous in victory. I wish I could be more like her, rather than considerate and well-liked’.”

So female pro-tennis players: consider yourselves told, right? Fucking screaming barrels.

Absolutely. Anyone who drives should give up drinking, after all its ok to tell smokers to give up so no problem there. Oh no, wait, what’s that I hear? The roar of double standards approaching……..
Richard

I’ve got a mental image of a noisy lion called “Double Standards”. He’s well known for his roaring. He lives in a zoo with “Political Correctness” the zebra, a termite colony known as “The Silent Majority” and a lonely, overfed walrus called “Indigenous Cock Haemorrhage”.

UK has already the lowest drink driving ofences in Europe even though the limit is higher than all the other countries. However because in the other countries the limit is lower it just catches more people and they actually have a higher number of offences.

Can I smell revenue generator?
Infowars

“Revenue Generator” the stinky giraffe? Nah mate. That’s “Double Standards” you can smell. He’s approaching.

Mr. Hatoyama is obviously a very decent and honourable man. By tradition Japanese culture encourages this type of behaviour. In the UK however [... goes on for some time ...]
warriorsottovoce

See?

If his resignation is over breaking an election pledge & simply that then he is a man of honour.
ian cheese

Nice one Ian! Apparently he was extremely worried about bringing shame to his famiry and had even contemprated suicide before he saw your comment. He asked me to tell you that he’s feeling “a rot better now”.

Knobhead on the Times applauds, loses thirty years from memory:

This is the sort of hardline approach to policing that wee need to adopt in the UK. Another example is the Times Square bomber – he’s been charged already. In the UK the police would still be gathering evidence! I live in Belfast, and if a US style police force was implemented here – the dissident paramilitaries would be a thing of the past.
Adam Leslie

Even better, send the troops in. That’ll show ‘em.

Here he is on Times Online talking about some volcano somewhere in Iceland. Notice how his sardonic wit seamlessly combines unrelated events that happened in the same country into a weak suggestion that Iceland is the leading cause of the world’s problems, and how he does that because he’s a prick.

More fallout from Iceland?

Now can we have some data on global cooling (SO2 & dust) and CO2 from volcanoes please, much more impact than the plane flights I’d wager.
Tom Taylor-Duxbury

Absolutely. That’s what scientists do for half their time, now that global warming has been proven to be the goldmine of a conspiracy everyone knew it was – they sit around reading comments on the internet, waiting for you to tell them what to do. Of course, the other half of the working day they’re sitting on solid gold dildos wanking onto £50 notes, so they can’t dedicate all their time to tending to your partially digested brain farts.

Oh, wait! Excuse my sarcasm, Tom, because I just had word from a leading climatologist who does eagerly read comments on news articles looking for pearls of wisdom. Apparently, after brilliance just like yours put him out of a job throwing hockey sticks into volcanoes to make the planet heat up a bit faster, he’s a bit light on stuff to do. He assures me he’ll get right on it, because he doesn’t think anything like that has ever been studied before, ever. Because you came up with the idea, can you spare time for a double-blind study?

In case you didn’t know, that’s the kind where you get beaten around the head until both your retinas detach by someone who subscribed to the new Times website and paid £30 for the privilege of reading your shit.

Do aliens really exist?

In order to answer this question correctly we need to know : a) the definition of existence: b) the definition of what we understand by the term ‘reality; c)are we also a form of aliens? &, if we are, to whom/what?
ian cheese

In order to answer your question correctly, cheese, I need to know: a) whether the philosophy A-level has got you laid yet; b) how many great western thinkers actually did also spend six desperate, fruitless years as car park attendants; c) do you want nuggets or fish fingers for tea? Your mum told me to ask you.

Now, I already know the answers to be: a) no; b) none; c) DON’T COME IN, MUM! DON’T COME IN! Therefore, I can tell you that: a) woah, you’ve blown all our minds, man; b) no, really, we’re proper impressed and that, mate, well done; c) she knows perfectly well what you’re up to in there.

Should politicians focus on family policies?

There should be a test for couples whether they can bring up children in a civlilsed & responsible manner i.e. to the Manor born.
ian cheese

And here’s another idea: passing the test could also win them the right to be shipped off to a Middle England utopia situated on an abandoned North Sea oil rig where they won’t bore the rest of us with their dull, heterocentric ‘family values’ i.e. Butterflies.

Prime Ministerial debate: Your reaction

Point really is: we all have to die, when we do, which should be the last image we have to put up with from these three contestants given a choice &, hopefully, none.
ian cheese

Shit, I didn’t realise we were voting for the last thing we’re ever going to see. I wonder if God blowing bubbles in pasties, sitting astride a donkey with human skin is standing in my constituency…

Fucking hell. NO! NOT SCRABBLE! RUN FOR THE HILLS! SAVE YOURSELVES! WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST! Quickly followed by a bunch of puffy knobheads.

Yet another example of: (chose at least one from list below)
-Political Correctness gone mad
-Broken Britain
-Falling education standards
Fade ‘n’ Die (No Relation to Shake ‘n’ Vac)

You forgot “You couldn’t make it up”, “All the more reason to vote BNP” and “Mattel is an American company.” Never mind though, at least you’re still resolutely Anglo-centric, like Miss Terri Poster:

In my household, the word MATTEL will not be allowed in any game.

It would never have happened when J W SPEAR & SONS PLC was [English] guardian of the game…
Miss Terri Poster

Absolutely. Those were the days, eh? Those halcyon days of yore, when men were men and women were women, when gay meant happy and you could rape your wife. Ah, yes, back in the 50s, when being English was a state of mind and it didn’t matter if you were a German-American Jew – you could still be English, too! Well, it’s either that lovely multicultural vision of inclusivity, or we have to face the prospect that Miss Terri Poster is just a puffed-up fartbubble who’s just all too ready to blurt out crap on the basis of “it stands to reason” and “common sense”. And like changing the Scrabble rules, I’m just not ready to accept that.

I don’t think Miss Terri Poster should worry – after all, she’ll still be able to rigidly control what words her children put down, while insisting that strict adherence to the rules is “all part of the fun”. And she’ll still be able to “accidentally” knock the board and ruin the game when someone gets a triple word score with a Z. After all, that stuff isn’t in the rules, but it’s in the English spirit of things – just like storming out in a huff when your eleven year old finds jobation in the OED after you’ve sat there for five minutes blocking dictionary access while insisting that’s not possibly a word, lamenting the standards of education in today’s society and how all these exams are just getting easier, and what exactly do you learn in Gordon Brown’s education system, how to cheat your way through your exams…

Well, at least no-one could divert a discussion on Scrabble to suggest that Islam is going to rise up and take over the world, and do it in a manner that barely conceals the author’s petulant racism.

The makers of the game should ban the word pachyderm as it contains the prefix “pachy” which is insulting to our beloved masters in the new mother country.

Oh.
