Time, Gentlemen, Please


Fancy a pint? Be prepared to drink it out of a cheap plastic beaker rather than a proper glass. Thoughtpolice in Bournemouth, Reading, Newport, Northampton, Fareham, Ilford and Daventry (with at least another thirty towns and cities to follow) are pushing to have glasses banned from pubs on the grounds of "safety."

Quite right. Can't have nasty, potentially sharp things in the hands of proles and Outer Party members the people.

They might get ideas.

Conundrum! How are they supposed to save the environment when they force the "plebes" to use Gaia-unfriendly plastic?

They should replace them with shatter-proof (and much more manly) metal steins. Everyone can wave them around and shout things.
