They’ve kept member of Dutch Parliament Geert Wilders form entering the country, so I’m not too surprised.

It is obvious that now all media in Britain must forthwith delete any and all mentions, representations, etc. of British police and military personnel. No more Dr. Who, for example (that call box is too close to the line). No more war movies, and certainly no more crime dramas. The newspapers will be able to save millions on ink and paper by not printing stories and especially photos concerning law enforcement and military matters. Telephone directories will now be that much lighter, saving more millions by no longer listing the local constabulary or its members. All military and police will have to become unpersons. I won’t even go into the list of proscribed words.

And what about the Beefeaters? Will it now be illegal to photograph the changing of the guard? Will we have to change the name of the element Copper?

I had always hoped to visit Great Britain some day. Now I feel that if I ever do go, I will have to go about in manacles and leg irons, with a blindfold and a big rectangle of black tape across my mouth, wearing black and white striped clothing, including a skullcap.

What a biting wit! Such elegant and cogent destruction of an opponent’s argument! Here’s a hint: “Troll” is easier and quicker to type than “Troublemaker” and it’s more accurate.

Umm, it is the liberals in the UK who are taking these measures…

Troublemaker, you have intellectually skewered my post with evidence and personal experiences! How clever of you! You’re the new Clarence Darrow of logical reasoning.

BTW, “Troll” would take less time to type than “Troublemaker” and be more accurate.

#16 Ah_Yea… Glad you agree and happy to oblige. Somebody has to watch what’s happening in the back room.

“It’s up to the liberals to defend what there is left of these freedoms.”

HAR! HAR! HAR!!

That was a good one! (Wiping tear from eye).

I’m so comforted to know freedom loving liberals Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Harry Reid, and BH Obama and all their ilk are there protecting my civil liberties!

(Where have they been the last 8 years?)

It’s good news!
That means all those privately operated cctv cameras they’ve put all over London and throughout England are now illegal and will have to be removed.

Britain is still quite free….if you’re a Muslim man. This is the UK the multiculti Left wanted, and the rest of the neutered Brits let them have…I hope they enjoy it.

How on earth can you actually type when it’s painfully apparent that you have shit for brains?

It’s far too late to stop, unfortunately. The courts and police have zero interest in anything but easy arrests filling in reports and appearing culturally senitive, because if they don’t there will be violence from “Asian youth”.

It’s much easier to arrest Gramps because he whacked a mugger with his umbrella than to arrest a “Muslim activist” from calling for the death of the Queen or burning his sister to death to protect his “honor”.

So Brits with spine (all 7 of the remaining) have a choice. Either fight both the mob of 8th century savages AND the full power of the State, or emigrate. Which is what I did.

Britain is dead, long live Britain!

As a US military member, and a photographer, I have to say, this law is pointless.

You are the Government they are your representatives. Therefore there is no difference in what you and the government want (it is the same thing).

Make them sign legally binding statements (when running for office) instead of making promises and hold them to there oaths if the courts will not. If your representatives will not do as they are commanded by the government (you) do not vote for them, and find someone to run that will.

When most of the media bleats that this is a negative idea some drastic changes are needed…
