A simple suggestion


Apparently the "voluntary" (for now) ID cards for Britain will not include the union jack for "fears that it may upset members of the nationalist community in Northern Ireland".

Frankly, I think that this is a load of godswallop and that the real reason is that New Labour despises the country it rules governs and wants no truck with any of its institutions, liberties, traditions, history, religion, symbols, or people; but let's take them at their word. Given the the nationalists are a minority of a minority who swear allegiance to another country and will never be pleased anyway, tell them that if they are not happy with ID cards with the union jack emblazoned on their tyrannical plastic faces, then it's that or no cards at all for anybody.

Then we'd have a perfect excuse to drop the whole rotten scheme and good riddance.

    "Nuanced" these days seems to mean surrendering really, really hard. Does Carl T. Cattle Dog do that thing where they roll over on their backs and present their bellies for scratching? Because it's cute when dogs do that. Leaders of one's country, not so much.
