I have to laugh.
The latest bill of law that they are trying to get through Parliament, is an outright ban on poking fun at religion.
They call it 'an incitement to religious hatred'.
How one can put humour in the same vien as hatred, is anybody's guess :rolleyes:
What this means, is that stuff like "Blackadder", Monty Phyton's "Holy Grail" and "Life Of Brian", etec, will be outlawed.
Probably 99% of all circuit comedians (ie, Bernard Manning, Dave Allen, etc), will now face legal action against most of their routines.
So that Muslims, Christians, and others will not get offended.
FFS, this country is going down the pan in a big way...FAST!
(Amp, your midget/penguin/nun joke, would land you in prison :eek: )
Yet another ridiculous law to control how we think and act, brought about by our Home Secretary - David Blunkett. A man, who has had an affair with a married woman and is trying to get custody of their child (and (allegedly) the as yet unborn child that this woman is carrying), who has (allegedly) fast-tracked a visa application for said woman's nanny.
I always thought that adultry was against the law :confused:
I am getting sick and tired of this country, and how this government is slowly, but surely, sending us into economic and social disorder.
The only reason they want us to join the EU, is because they realise that it is all going to shit, and that by joining the EU, they can get some sort of net gain.
Most of you already know how I feel about the level of taxation that we have to endure, add to that the growing sense of racial hatred that is being stirred up by the so-called 'PC Brigade', and the fact that this government is blinding the public to the real crisis that we face (economically) - and now, they propose to curtail our freedom of speech still further, by telling us what we can and cannot laugh at!
For fucks sake, please tell me that I'm paranoid, or summat, because, quite honestly I can see that within the next 10yrs max, this country will be as a third-world state. That's if there hasn't been some massive race-rioting, which would give them the perfect excuse to introduce ID cards (which, incidentally, has NOTHING to do with terrorist threat, but more to do with Big Brother tactics), and give them 'credence' to introduce a police-state.
I am not religious, but (as long as there isn't any fundamentalism going on (all religions)) I respect other people's beliefs.
I am not racist - I view people as humans/people/individuals, regardless of colour, creed, or nationality - but, normal thinking people are slowly being turned into racist biggots, because they are bombarded with disproportionate opinions by poeple who clearly have no clue.
(We're not allowed to put up Christams decorations because it might offend other religious sects)
I am extremely depressed at what I see happening, not only to this country, but to the world over.
America wages war on 'terrorism', and yet, REAL terrorist go yet unpunished (Mougabe, to name but one).
Britain panders to the minority sector of this country to 'save them from attriction, and yet in doing so, they themselves are inciting religious/racial hatred within people who would otherwise not care.
Honest, hard-working people are being taxed to death, whilst the lazy non-contributors live a life of comparative luxury.
Our pensioners, the one's who fought for our freedom, are being treated like shit, and are left to suffer the indiginty of poverty and disrespect - this winter, hundreds of them will die, because they cannot afford to heat their homes, and essential services (meals-on-wheels) is seen as 'not financially viable' - this is how the state repays the sacrifice and pride that they showed in the great wars of our time.
UK companies are leaving our shores in their droves, because it is cheaper for them to go overseas - leaving thousands of people out of work, and so increasing the financial burden upon our country.
I despair, I really do.
It saddens me to think what the western world has become - a balance sheet.
Ok, I'm venting a frustration that is almost palpable, but this frustration is not going away anytime soon.
I truly sick to the core :mad:
What kind of life can I expect my children to look forward to?
What kind of world will they inherit?
A world that is fast imploding on it's own selfish greed and disregard for the poeples that inhabit it...and why?...because it is a world that is more concerned with making money, than it is about improving this dire existence.
FFS, we are all part of this glorious planet - why do we seem to stand idly by and watch it crumble away before our very eyes?
