Title: Pathetic laws in this country
Post by: STEMO on 19 January 2024, 17:34:50
There are kinds of new laws passed every year. For instance, prohibiting anyone from calling a spade a spade. But the government are not interested in everyday stuff that affects motorists, like this, apparently:

That was a helluva long article just to tell me that there is a gizmo that I can use to stop my mileage going up.  ::)

I thought it was an article about referring  to people with dark skin as black or POC (people of colour) rather than calling a black man a spade. ::) 8)

I realise, at your age, that your attention span probably won't stretch to more than one paragraph. But I found the total apathy displayed by the government shocking.

Well being a mere youngster I blame Tiktok!   ::)

Not sure what Lord Opti's age related excuse is though.  :)

Anyway, how can you be shocked by this apathetic government?  ;D

I'm still none the wiser as to why "experts" claim this could be "deadly". ::)

You could add hundreds to this list. Burglary for example or car theft. :)

Yep.....the list is endless.

The coppers were shit hot in removing  stuffed toy golliwogs from a London pub though.

I believe 6 officers were required as the job was so dangerous. ::)

They seem quite happy to let thousands of people chant a call for genocide every Saturday in our capital city as well.   :-X  ::)
