Guns on The Island Off the Coast of France

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Yes, I watch Warren Ellis’ Twitter, because he’s just that clever.

I do not, however, agree one hundred percent with some of his political views.

Tshirt I need to see - SARAH PALIN: IN ENGLAND WE SHOOT PIT BULLS

Followed by:

Yes, we have guns in the UK. It’s how our police kill foreign tourists. Think on that.

Also, Mr. Ellis, guns are how yobs rob, rape, and kill increasingly desperate subjects. And yes, the yobs have got plenty. Too bad the desperate subjects are defenseless, and if they do fight back, they receive more punishment than the yobs. What the hell is the matter with you people? And why do you think we should listen to you?

Too bad the subjects aren’t also allowed to have and use guns against yobs. Funny thing, that.

Island Off The French Coast Bans Rescues

Saturday, August 16th, 2008

Filling out forms is more important than saving lives:

A volunteer coastguard crew face disciplinary action after going to the rescue of a teenage swimmer in a boat that had recently been repaired and was awaiting a seaworthiness inspection.

The four crewmen were on duty at Hope Cove in South Devon when the 15-year-old girl was swept out to sea by a powerful rip tide. They braved heavy surf to launch their 17ft rigid inflatable.

The girl was rescued by a diver and the coastguard crew brought her ashore. But within hours their boat had been confiscated and the station officer and his crew had been threatened with disciplinary action.

…

Ian Pedrick, 49, the station officer, radioed for permission to launch the boat because the girl was already 150 yards out to sea but the crew lost radio contact with coastguard headquarters at Brixham and went ahead with the rescue.

…

Mr Pedrick, who runs the Hope and Anchor pub near the beach, said that he had been ordered by the MCA not to comment on the incident.

Island Off French Coast Bans Laughter

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Number two in what looks to be a continuing series.

They banned hats.

That didn’t make them safe.

Now they’ve banned laughing too hard.

In fact…

Wait for it!

In fact, they’ve banned laughing too hard at humor presented by the official state propaganda dispenser, the Beeb.

Via David Codrea at The War on Guns, who comments:

That’ll teach him to react to government programming with the response it was designed to elicit! Condition the rats to react to stimuli one way, and when it becomes automatic, switch reward to punishment–that’s so deviously ingenious it’s elegant!

OK, Codrea and I are engaging in a bit of hyperbole here. When you read the story, you’ll see that what the  victim is really being punished for is not obeying the police without question when they demand he show his identity papers in his own castle home cage.
