They could always stop posting mugshots.

Great Britain; knife bans, no pointy ends, never mind access to any type of firearm, speech control, don't hit back, don't say anything that might hurt anyone's feelings....sounds like the live in a preschool or an open air asylum.

What happened to the nation that responded heroically to calls for the evacuation of its troops at Dunkirk?

[loveconstitution1789]

England is part of the Thousand Year Reich anyway.

They were regulated out of existence. Do you realize how complex the permitting process for a Dunkirk-style evacuation would be nowadays?

[loveconstitution1789]

The French were really upset that Churchill ordered the evacuation of British troops at Dunkirk (French soldiers were evacuated too).

The EU is upset that British people want the Brexit.

Might not make it for the morning links, so here's a prequel:

Activist protesting ICE threaten families of contractor.

“We know where all your children live throughout the country … John Bulfin you have kids in [bleeped out], you have kids in [bleeped out],” the protester shouted. “We know everything about you and you won’t just be seeing us here.”
“We know where you sleep at night,” another protester shouted. “We know what kind of dog food you buy your dogs.”
“We’re not actually joking,” the protester said before shouting the location of where Bulfin lives. “John Bulfin you go to [bleeped out], you go to church on [bleeped out], you live on [bleeped out the] road. We are not joking.”

This, one day before someone shot up ICE offices in Texas.

I wonder if this will be treated as seriously as a random anonymous person on the internet opining about judges and woodchippers?

'Cause I know which one I'd take more seriously.

(in fact, I'm pretty sure that if you shout something like that at a bunch of the folks around here you stand a good chance of getting shot on the spot.)

[Unicorn Abattoir]

Not to worry, Cyto. The folks on CNN assure me that it's just a peaceful form of protest.

[darkflame]

You're not wrong. You start spouting that level of bull, you better be ready for the consequences.

Police in Gwent, Wales, have warned people they could be prosecuted for mocking the receding hairline of a convicted drug dealer.

One trusts, however, that it's acceptable to mock the Gwent police for so warning people.

[Unicorn Abattoir]

This is serious stuff in the UK. They even have a Ministry of Funny Walks.

[Charles Easterly]

Do not be Silly.

Is it illegal, in Wales, to call someone a bald fuck?

[Finrod]

Fuck the UK police.

[Unicorn Abattoir]

Coming straight from the Underground?

[Dillinger]

even when the Welsh don't know it they're working for the clampdown.
