Would be better if the top 20 crimes were assault with a deadly weapon, rape and burglary?

BRITISH IPOD LICENSE TAX
Quote:
BRITAIN’S BROADCASTING regulator and competition authority, Ofcom, says people could soon have to pay an "Ipod tax" to pay for crappy, yet expensive, programmes on ITV and Channel 4.
The tax wouldn’t just be restricted to Ipods and other MP3 players though. Anyone with a Sky satellite dish, an Internet connection and even a Freeview box will purportedly have to cough up to save shows like My Goldfish is Evil and London Tonight.

Faraday Cage your TV and Ipod to avoid paying this bogus tax, to hide them from the Big Brother TV RF vans.

#1, #3, #6, #7, #10, #17, Guilty - all at the same time.
Okay, I get #s 1, 6, 7, 10, and 17 - but why would you litter?
And what the hell is an "offensive" weapon?
This world is a comedy for those who think, and a tragedy for those who feel.

An offensive weapon is anything that is used as a weapon as part of an asault. So for example, you might have a tire iron in your car. If you hit someone with it, that makes it an offensive weapon and you get an extra inditement on the assault charge.

"Littering" is defined in UK as dropping a single bread crumb on the grass.
"Offensive weapon" is defined as a butterknife in UK.
Quids is what I call em. Brits need em to buy Spotted Dick ("The Queen's favorite dessert") and Mrs Brain's Faggots.

"The Doody family from Wolverhampton has been crowned The Faggot Family in a national competition, and to kick off their reign they will launch National Faggot Week. They displayed their fanaticism for the delicacy during quizzes, role-plays and mock commercials. Her husband Fred added: 'It's unfair because faggots were a British delicacy long before any of the others. The great British faggot is full of flavour and a great belly warmer at this time of year.' The competition was organised by faggot producer Mr Brain's Faggots."

How the Stock Markets Really Work
Quote:
IGNFF: Going back a little bit, was it your choice to go overseas to Winchester – to what, I guess, was essentially high school?
JOSEPH HILL "JOSS" WHEDON: Yes. My mother suggested it, because she was on sabbatical, and enjoyed England, and didn't trust the schools in California where my father was. So I was to go for half a year, because she was taking a half a year sabbatical. I bizarrely managed to get into the single best school in the country, through no merit of my own. I really don't know how that happened. I was lazy, I was terrible, but through osmosis, I was learning more than I ever had before. It was so extraordinary. My family went back to America, and the school asked me to stay along, and I did [$$$$$$$$$$].
IGNFF: So you got to be the standard there, as the token lazy American.
WHEDON: I was the token lazy American, except when it came to English class, where I was relentless and unstoppable.
IGNFF: How palpable was the cultural difference, going to that school, compared to the American schools you'd gone to previously?
WHEDON: Well, let's see. I went from Riverdale, a fairly progressive private school that my mother taught at, where I'd gone for ten-and-a-half years, since first grade – because it went all the way through, K-12. I went from that, having never been out of the country, to a 600-year-old all male boarding school where I actually listened to a lecture on why co-education will never work. The cultural difference couldn't have been huger. The only thing that was the same was that, like at Riverdale, I had no money and was surrounded by very rich people.
IGNFF: That lecture had to appeal to the radical feminist in you...
WHEDON: Yeah. Well, you know, there's plenty of arguments that co-education is actually bad for girls in the present state of the country. But that was not his argument. Put it this way – at the end of it, I was like, "Sir, don't you think if God had wanted man to fly he would have given us wings?" It was very, very strange.

In 2005 the school was one of fifty of the country's leading private schools which were found guilty of running an illegal price-fixing cartel, exposed by The Times, which had allowed them to drive up fees for thousands of parents. Each school was required to pay a nominal penalty of £10,000 and all agreed to make ex-gratia payments totalling three million pounds into a trust designed to benefit pupils who attended the schools during the period in respect of which fee information was shared. There has been no system of fagging for some decades. College prefects used to engage junior boys as "valets": by the 1960s this had become a voluntary arrangement in which the valets were paid for their services, and the system disappeared altogether in the early 1970s.

So Joss ate spotted dick and faggots during his fagging while his parents got the shaft?

Wow, that's horrible.
Here in the States, he would have had the opportunity to load up on guns and go on a shooting rampage at his school instead of merely killing himself.
Man, Britain DOES suck. Can't even get a good old Columbine-style massacre going over there. Where's the freedom?
