Are you happy with Her Majesty's government?
Posted by: Sloop John B on 03 May 2006
From reading a few of the posts here (particularly the congestion charge one) there would seem to a lot of simmering resentment in mainland UK of your government.
From Ireland it's hard to assess things, we tend to lok on British governments from the point of view of Northern Ireland and certainly Tony Blair (and Bill Clinton) have done immense work there.
Are you all that cynical and fed up with your government?

Perhaps we could reintroduce voting rights based on the number of windows in your property.
As the owner of a bungalow, I consider this unfair discrimination & an infringement of my human rights & I demand a recount !
However, I do agree with the principle of restricting voting rights & think that they should be denied to the following individuals :-
1. Those displaying tattoos, nipple/eyebrow/nose rings, tongue studs or mohecan haircuts.
2. People who say "ya know", "like", "at the end of the day", "the boy done good", "wicked" or end every sentence with rising inflection.
3. Those who habitually wear replica soccer shirts.
4. Owners of noisy mopeds and/or cars with multi-subwoofer stereos which can play nothing but rap music (with the windows open).
Basically, most under 25s & all professional footballers .....

Many thanks for the free bump Erik - did you wish to say something ?
LOL - I would hate for anyone to have missed your post the first time round.
I think anyone who wants to have a baby should should have to apply for a license. They should be vetted by a board of decent types. Those who pass will be free to have a baby. Borderline cases will have to attend special classes for a year and those who clearly fail (those in your list for example)will be steralised.

Quite a misanthropical view with a dose of stereotyping, if ever I saw one; do you view the world with a monocle covering your minds eye?

Or sent to China.
Or both.

I think there is a possibility that tongues may have been in cheek.
Infinitely preferable to a stud methinks.
I do quite fancy a monocle though - thanks for the suggestion Beano.
Paul,
Don't go there. You could end up looking like a complete twat.

For all you know of course, I may already look like a twat Erik.
Nah,I'm sure you don't. Leastways I doubt you are in quite the same league as Eubank whom I see on a regular basis as he lives round the corner from me and is given to daily narcissistic cruising of the main roads of Brighton/Hove. However, if you care to post a pic of yourself we could all make comparisons.
