Mr Blairs new 'respect' plan...

Quote
Mr Blair accepted that on-the-spot fines for some offences reversed the principle that people were innocent until proven guilty.
- No comment.

Quote
He stressed that the vast majority of people, including young people and families on low incomes, did respect each other.
- O RLY? I'd never have guessed. Imagine that, a low income and respect? :rolleyes:

I had a good laugh at all that when it was on Sky News this morning.

They should just grab all hoodies, drag them to the center of town, strip them naked, whip the **** out of them, then leave them to walk home naked.

Either the UK has an "anti-social behaviour" problem a thousand times worse than anywhere in the world, which I doubt, on your Prime Minister is really a soccer mom in drag and is off his/her medication.

The problem with the UK is that instead of the gangs you have in the US, we've got loads of tiny little groups of kids who just walk around destroying **** and beating people up for no reason.

Basically, we have less criminals, but more ****ing assholes.

And the dumb thing is.. they get away with it and aren't treated like the little ****s that they are.

Better yet, the latest part of his proposals includes: If someone is in an area like a council estate (ooh, a low income area eh?) and they have £1000 or more on their person... they can have it confiscated and the onus is on them to prove they earned it legally.

:wtf:

I guess I could never live in the UK now, because any shred of "respect" I may have had for Mr. Blair has been thoroughly purged.

And excellent Photoshop work, Rictor.

Anyone find it funny that he waited until George Galloway was safely tucked up in the Big Brother house and unable to hear what's going on in the outside world before releasing this plan? :lol:

Is this the same Galloway that missed the vote on the 'glorifying terrorism' bill to do a speaking tour in Ireland, a vote the government won by one vote?

He's as much of a ****up as Blair, just on a different spectrum......

This sounds strangely like prison...if you don't respect your neighbor, men with guns will make you do it.

I was refering to the name of his party. I think Galloway himself is just as much of a waste of space as you do. Twas ****ing funny to see him take on the congressional hearing though :)

My "respect" for that man lowers every time he opens his mouth.

To be honest, I've just been itching for a go at Galloway anyways........  although his performance at Congress was a highlight.
