The two most dreadful things in Britain.

[JQW]

1. The Daily Mail
2. The Daily Express

[OX mkII]

1. People who don't vote and then complain endlessly about politics/how everything in this country is going wrong

How is voting supposed to help?

Because with more people voting, what the people actually wanted would be better represented.

Yes, if in an ideal world politics was about public choice

[piku]

1. Complaining that the country is going down the toilet, but then not doing anything constructive about it
2. Complaining that "them bloody forriners are stealing our jobs, send 'em back home"

Especially 2. If 'them forriners' are nicking our jobs, how about the unemployed masses get off their calloused arses and apply for all these jobs they're supposedly missing out on. What? You don't want to work as a toilet cleaner, drive taxis or stand in a recycling plant sorting plastic? Hmm... best not complain then really.

I'm doing "Cultural diversity" with my students at school. It's fun, they're so narrow minded, I enjoy making them angry by challenging their (parents) beliefs

PS, if you're unemployed I'm not having a go at you... unless you read the Daily Mail

Careful, "Challenging them" could be misconstrued as being a pc nazi on a wind up.

Yeah, I had a look at that and for the life of me I couldn't see any possible way in which I could have done anything that would have had an outcome like what you're saying.

Is there a special technique? Do I need to bring a black light to see the proper options or something?

There's no law preventing you from voting for yourself.

And everyone knows that coffee outside Napoli is crap anyway.

Get fooked. Portugal do some great coffee too.

Their TV is shit, mind.

I have been in Portugal, a number of times.

It is true, Portugal has nice espresso BUT you have to ask for "cafe' curto", the regular coffee is still too
long for my own taste but if you ask for a curto you'll be fine.

All people in Portugal anyway tell me that they learnt the way to make coffee from Italians, that's why the
coffee is so good there

We quite enjoyed Portuguese TV, Canal Panda is our favourite, how can you not like Panda Cozinha ?

That's true. Espresso and the cafés itself came from Italy in the 19th Century. Inicially they were associated with reading too. People would take the newspaper (or a book) and go read it with an espresso at the cafe. It's still common to do it specially on Sunday morning.


I don't have an opinion about the 2 worse things in Britain because i don't live there but quite a lot of the ones mentioned here happen here too.

Ow... and tomatoes crops were some of the most affected by the change to wet weather this year.

Can't blame people for voter apathy when we live in a representative democracy like this!

It's nice to know you can have your say, in which way the lever is flipped, every few years.

Being "better represented" seems to mean "lesser evil".

Looks like the Nasty party are getting in anyway.

1)People who insist voting is a valid use of my time while the evidence to the contrary is pounding them in the face with its scabby self-serving redwood of a cock, Over and over, year after year.

2) See 1)

I pay taxes and am bound by the laws of this land, therefore I'll complain all I like, cheers. I don't need a concience teddy to tell me I'm a good citizen either, because I know I'm not- I'm just another person who helps supply the government with the money to live like pigs in shit for four years at a time.

Possibly, but the fact that what they want doesn't matter a damn once the electioneering is over puts a bit of a dampner on that idea.

Currently :

That Kraft have been able to purchase a British company (Cadbury), employing British people, by using British public money in the form of a loan from RBS under the reigns of the British Govenrment. And who, once the take over is complete, will no doubt make thousands of British people unemployed in the process in order to cut costs so they can pay us back.

So...

• RBS
• British Government.
