    Well of course it is genius what the politicians call a win win situation, but watch the bleeding heart of Labor plead for the victims of this aggressive policy.

    $400 Pounds a week eh, now I could get a nice apartment in Double Bay for that, oh to be in Britain in the Spring time!

    All this moving problem families around has a familiar ring to it, I expect some Brits migrated and brought the idea here along with their blasted roundabouts, now obligatory on every corner. Bad ideas have a habit of migrating, can we send you some? We have a rather nice line of tasers, we issue them to all police, very good kill statistics, and certainly reduces the cost of running prisons. Could we interest you in some state of the art CCTV, our pictures are so much clearer than yours? No, perhaps some Glock pistols to ensure the safety of your officers? I know these problem neighbourhoods, we have a beautiful range of used D10 Bulldozers, just 10,000 hours in Western Australia, hardly run in? Our methdology is complete redevelopment, very effective.

    Hello, again, tom:

    The married two-parent family, educational meritocracy, punishment of criminals, national identity, enforcement of the drugs laws and many more fundamental conventions were all smashed by a liberal intelligentsia hell-bent on a revolutionary transformation of society.
    Wheeww.. It's a good thing we don't have any of that going on here.

    Hello again, tom:

    My theme, since I've been posting here, is that I prefer a socialist European state over that of an Oligarchy, which is what YOU are promoting...

    Hi ex
    Now that's great but didn't I read you have curfews in some of your cities, you are far ahead of that socoalist European state in policing. I also observed draconian fines on parents of repeat offenders. Is this the new police state model? When will you release it for general implementation? I would like to see it implemented here

    Ah, but have we sent you our lovely speed bumps yet?



    And, have you got one of these yet?:



    You drive in one direction around the mini roundabouts and in the opposite direction around the centre.

    This explains why the Liberal party in Britain became a minority party.

    Yes we have some lovely speed bumps here, so that's where they came from, we also have structures described as cushions and some rather weird things that could only be described as infinity circles because that is how long it takes to work out what it is you are supposed to do. I would like to send you some lovely pictures but I couldn't find any.

    "But what we know for sure is that in large parts of the country this was just pure criminality.

    So as we begin the necessary processes of inquiry, investigation, listening and learning: let’s be clear.

    These riots were not about race: the perpetrators and the victims were white, black and Asian.

    These riots were not about government cuts: they were directed at high street stores, not Parliament.

    And these riots were not about poverty: that insults the millions of people who, whatever the hardship, would never dream of making others suffer like this.

    No, this was about behaviour…

    …people showing indifference to right and wrong...

    ...people with a twisted moral code...

    ...people with a complete absence of self-restraint."

    (David Cameron 8/15/11)

    And just like after 9/11 it will be used as an excuse to infringe on civil liberties, to extend the powers of the security services and for what after all might be a one off
