Are smokers the new Jews?

OK I’m feeling persecuted. I smoke and I drive a large engined car. Satan has issued a diabolical decree that such cars should pay £6,500.00 pa to use the roads their RFL and fuel tax have already paid for, while another Nazi has suggested that smokers should obtain a licence.

Several things occur to me.

1) If required to get a licence I shall immediately source all my tobacco on the black market where such a licence won’t be required. It’ll also be cheaper for me.
2) Is this just the start of more Stalinist initiatives – will licenses be required to buy booze shortly.
3) How long before I’m required to wear a fetching yellow star before being invited to a smoker’s camp for concentration purposes.
4) I could get a smaller engined car, but the carbon footprint of a new car far exceeds the emissions I will make using the existing one – so how “green” is Satan’s new scheme.
5) Can I emigrate to another freer country where the state doesn’t think it has the right to stick its nose into every corner of your life and then tax it – Zimbabwe for example.

Please God, if you’re listening (and aren’t too pissed of with us coz of the Arch Bish Of C) let this government fall, Satan be taken back to hell and the people of this country stop sleepwalking into a police state.

Proof positive that The Archbishop should resign

Gordon Brown reckons he's a man of "great integrity".

Nuff said

Oh, and he still hasn't resigned! What on earth is keeping him?

Sharia and the Archbishop

A few days have passed since the Arch Bish of C outraged the country with his poorly thought through comments on the adoption of Sharia law. Despite two e-mails from me he hasn’t resigned yet.

He should. He has shown himself to be inadequate at his primary role, protecting the Established Church of England.

If people want to settle disputes outside of the law they are free so to do. They can settle disputes by playing scissors, paper, stone for all I care, but they must accept that such settlements have no meaning within the law. If Muslims wish to settle dispute using Sharia that’s up to them, but if they do so in the UK they must accept that either party will still have recourse to the LAW if they disagree with the Sharia result. There can be no variation to the principle that there is one rule of law for all in this country.

The Arch Bish doesn’t seem to understand this bit.

Backtracking madly it seems the Arch Bish is now saying that he only wanted to stimulate debate etc etc. He just doesn’t get it does he? There’s nothing to debate. There can only be one law.

Lastly beware the PC brigade talking through their arses about the UK being a secular state. NO IT ISN’T. The UK may be a secular society, but, due to the combined role of Her Maj as Head of State and Head of the C of E the UK is a Protestant Christian state.

Perhaps he’ll resign before I finish posting this. Live in hope.

Archbishop Surrenders

I’ve heard that the Archbishop of Canterbury has suggested that the UK adopt parts of Sharia law so that “Muslims should not have to choose between the stark alternatives of cultural loyalty or state loyalty”.

Yes they should, its part of the price for living in a country – you live by the laws of the land.

I am disgusted that any Englishman or representative of the C of E could even consider the adoption of alien laws in some attempt to assuage a foreign culture.

By suggesting that parts of Sharia law should be adopted the Archbishop is betraying his church and more worryingly his country. If people want to live under Sharia law there are plenty of countries which have it. It is not wanted here. If people want to live here they should do so under OUR laws; it is not for us to adopt alien laws to please newcomers, newcomers need to obey and respect our laws. Rarely has a pronouncement by a bishop made me so angry. He should resign henceforth; he has shown that he is no protector of either the church and its values or the values of the British people as a whole.
