Remind me who won the Cold War again?
If they're not busy invading plucky little Georgia, they're destroying football with money or poisoning our teapots. With plutonium. And what does Brown do about it? Got it in one: sweet f.a.
Remember what they said about Wilson, that's all I have to say.

You knew where you were when it used to be "Sir" and "Madam" and "Mr Smythe" and "Mrs Green" and bowing and curtseying, and now you are expected to call everyone Shaz and Myleene and you don't even know if you are addressing a man, a woman, or even one of those Polacks or coloureds throwing your first name around like a dark-skinned youth in a knife-crammed designer tracksuit regurgitating the semi-digested tatters of society into the gutter after his thirtieth alcopop of the morning on the bus to the Job Centre, too much of a wastrel even to do the jobs he has stolen from us, as the school he burnt down wrote him a note excusing him from work in favour of burgling houses to pay for crack and other made-up mental disorders

No, it's okay to be angry.Might as well enjoy being angry now, before you meet your housemates and realize they are mental defectives, then you will feel guilty for being angry. So enjoy it while you can.

It's only funny until you get to "When Labour forced through its disastrous policy of mass immigration, what respect did it show to the millions of indigenous working-class voters whose communities would come under serious strain as a result? Did anyone explain the true consequences, rather than just the bogus benefits?" and then it's like WTF.

May I congratulate the liberal intelligentsia for the direction they have taken this country in the past forty-odd years. Society? Hardly, or not as I understand the word anyway. This is monitored anarchy! Law and Order has been made redundant. It's all 'Rights' before retribution. Send in the social worker.Many years ago, we opened doors for women, offered our seats etc, said 'please' and 'thank-you'. Today it's all old hat. We try and murder pregnant school girls! But for Mr Hall, they would have succeeded. A ray of hope.Would you rather live in my world, or what we have clearly got today?I have the telephone number of our local Funeral director written down, for when it's needed. The saddest thing is that I won't be sad to leave. 21st century Britain? I hope you enjoy it.
