			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No, there won&#8217;t always be an England, just an island off the coast of France. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s <a href="http://sweasel.com/archives/3563">more evidence that England has already ceased to exist</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>The Brits discovered them when they fought them during the Nepalese War of 1814-16 and somehow managed to call them Gurkhas. They kick all kinds of butt.</p>
<p>Four original battalions of Gurkhas were formed into the East India Company, and they stayed loyal to the Crown through the Indian Mutiny…and every armed conflict Britain’s been part of ever since. Two hundred thousand of them joined up for Dubya-Dubya Eye-Eye and distinguished the hell out of themselves.</p>
<p>And now <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1172758/Treachery-The-government-unveils-new-residency-test-Gurkhas---NONE-pass.html">thousands of them</a> are set to be deported from Britain. Gurkha veterans have been fighting for the right to live in Britain for a long time — and I don’t pretend to know the whole backstory — but the latest immigration rules released today are fucking evil: a soldier can stay if he’s served 20 years. The rank and file are only allowed to serve 15. Nice. </p></blockquote>
<p>Meanwhile, St. George&#8217;s flag, the traditional flag of England, <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-393651/Will-George-slayed-Englands-patron-saint.html">keeps getting banned</a> because, having also been the flag of the Crusades, it might offend immigrants who want to destroy the traditional English way of life. </p>
<p>(In fairness, I should point out that the people of England are very fond of their flag. It&#8217;s only the government and Church of England officials who keep trying to ban it. Unfortunately, the people of England are too well behaved to hang the cowardly bastards.)</p>
<p>(Oh, and to stave off the nit-pickers: The<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Flag"> Union Jack</a> is the flag of Great Britain. Not the same as England.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, I watch <a href="http://twitter.com/warrenellis">Warren Ellis&#8217; Twitter</a>, because he&#8217;s just that clever.</p>
<p>I do not, however, agree one hundred percent with some of his <a href="http://twitter.com/warrenellis/statuses/916604971">political views</a>.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span class="entry-content">Tshirt I need to see &#8211; SARAH PALIN: IN ENGLAND WE SHOOT PIT BULLS </span></p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/warrenellis/statuses/916623310">Followed by</a>:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Yes, we have guns in the UK.  It&#8217;s how our police kill foreign tourists.  Think on that.</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/2656875.stm">Too bad the subjects aren&#8217;t also allowed to have and use guns against yobs. Funny thing, that.</a><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Number two in what looks to be a continuing series.</p>
<p><a href="http://ricketyclick.com/blog/index.php/2008/06/10/therell-always-be-an-island-off-the-french-coast/">They banned hats.</a></p>
<p>That didn&#8217;t make them safe.</p>
<p>Now they&#8217;ve <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,365645,00.html">banned laughing too hard</a>.</p>
<p>In fact&#8230;</p>
<p>Wait for it!</p>
<p>In fact, they&#8217;ve banned laughing too hard at humor presented by the official state propaganda dispenser, the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/">Beeb</a>.</p>
<p>Via <a href="http://waronguns.blogspot.com/2008/06/were-only-ones-who-fail-to-see-humor.html">David Codrea at The War on Guns</a>, who comments:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>That&#8217;ll</em> 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&#8211;that&#8217;s so deviously ingenious it&#8217;s elegant!</p>
<p>OK, Codrea and I are engaging in a bit of hyperbole here. When you read the story, you&#8217;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 <em>in his own <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">castle</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">home</span></em> <em>cage</em>.</p>
