Hi guys thought id put something about 2 stupid laws that are around:
My first ones more of a observational one:
See, at my shop I cant sell screwdrivers or knives to anyone 16 or under....but I can sell them a hammer or axe?
This second ones kinda more disturbing and not as 'funny'
Soham child-killer Ian Huntley kills two innocent girls, he gets imprisonment, he spends his time in his cell watching television, with his own personal guards and gym at the taxpayers expense. Meanwhile, my parents and im adamant many of our parents (maybe even us if old enough) work their fingers to the bone, day in day out for years on end, and even then money gets taken away to pay for these so-called prisoners. And also so Tony Blair/George Bush can build people-killing machinery. Shouldn't imprisonment (for killing little girls) mean...you get locked in a cell and if you're lucky they dont through away the key, you dirty scum? (Dont even get me started on what people recieve for something like a speeding ticket or staying too long at a parking space) (Or Maxine Carr, with her 'new identity' (shakes head))
Anyone else got dumb laws?

Weird, only us two have and use a military? Odd. And I'm a fan of Bush, but no way he builds machinery, 50/50 he can spell it.

i hate how our parents pay tony blair and his cronies their wages through tax- and how do they earn these wages- by letting in asylum seekers who sponge of the system and take jobs that redundant, british citizens desperatley need, or invest in a police force that are more inclined in arresting under-age drinkers and fining people who drop litter then they are in tracking paedophiles and murderers etc.

Did you get ALL of that from the Daily Mail by any chance?

Anarchy doll

yeah, why do they keep those ****ing murderers alive once convicted by DNA alive? We gotta keep them alive so what? They can't work, they can't be trusted to reabilitate, and if they ever escaped, they would kill again...and we are paying for that?

Sneer

actually, i got it from myself, its how i feel..funnily enough.

You ever thought that the reason migrants take those jobs is because of the creation of an underclass by the previous government who decide not to work?

Blaming immigration for the problems in this country is not only misguided, it's terribly, terribly incorrect.

Sneer

it seems you do not understand my post, i didnt blame immigration, i blame the government- immigration is just one of the aspects they have failed to deal with adequatly. and does it seem as if i favour the previous government? i do not think so, british government has been a shambles for 30 years.

The British government has done a great job on immigration. The problem stems from illegal immigrants who are catching a ride in on the backs of lorries, which are, without checking every single vehicle that goes through Dover, Folkestone, Hull etc every day, impossible to control.

Britain actually accepts less immigrants than 16 other European countries, so all the stuff you read about Britain being the world's dumping ground for asylum seekers is right wing propaganda.

Our country was founded on immigration, it is our driving force.

Asylum seekers cannot work. Those that have been granted asylum have a right to work, and I hope you want them too otherwise you'll be paying for their benefits. Those granted asylum are generally taking jobs noone else wants. If any of our citizens needed a job, they could go out today and get one, most of them have misplaced pride or outright lazyness and will not go for the jobs available.

Illegal immigrants are a very small problem, but since it can be a vote winner, governments make an issue out of it.

Anarchy doll, the reason we keep them alive is because any civilised country realises emotional revenge (which is all the death penalty is) has no place in a court of law. There are only two countries in the developed world that still have the death penalty, the US and Japan (although executions are infrequent). The US is the only developed country that still executes minors. From a fiscal point of view, it's cheaper to keep someone locked up for life, than go through the legal wranglings (and associated appeals) of a death sentence.

We definately have some stupid laws in the UK, most of which are health & safety related, or planning related. The gun laws are pretty stupid in this country. Live firing weapons are rightly banned, but so are sports weapons because of the Dunblane shootings. You now have to have a license for certain weapons. The silly thing is, anyone buying a gun with the intent to use it illegally, is going to do so on the black market.
