Mandleson,Bliar and Broon
The three names everyone should recall when they think "this country is shit". There is no "Global Recession" of the scale they tell you -- just look at  to £ exchange rates or, even better, GBP to Aussie Dollar.
These people are passing this country around between themselves like johns gangbanging a cheap whore.
As for the "celebrities" mentioned in these pages -- I am aware of who they are but, by the simple act of not watching or listening to TV or radio, I have no idea why anyone hates them.

Bliar
That's really, really funny. It's a new one on me. You should write for Have Your Say or something.

Broon. That's really funny. It's because he's Scottish, right? Another new one. You should definitely write for Have Your Say, you'd go down a storm.

Bonus Have Your Say points for the misspelling of Mandelson.

You are 1984ReturnsForReal AICMFP.

Yup, I'm dead funny, me.
OK, so mis-spelling names is a little childish -- but I don't think that the murdering, thieving scum deserve to have their names spelled correctly.
I know it's not fucking funny, neither is this shit-tip dried-up waste tip that used to be a country.

That used to be a country
Yeah, now it's a shapeless mass without defined borders, language, Government or taxation system.

Since you mention it...
... it's actually a member-state of the European Union.
The majority of laws are dictated by European Law, or friends of Mr Mandleson.
The taxation system is in line with European agreements.

It is still very much a country. A sovereign state if you will.
And the benefits of membership of the EU are many. I love how anti-EU rhetoric always comes down to 'the Germans' running the economy.

Xenophobia is a very, very silly thing.

I didn't mention "the Germans", or dislike of any other country.
From what I've experienced of Deutschland I like the place.
You decided to be clever and deliberately point out how England was still a country -- so I decided to "be clever" and point out how it isn't.
Europe or no Europe -- the arseholes in power have fucked this place up.

I wasn't referring to England
I meant the whole UK. Nice parochial viewpoint you have there.

And the last time I checked, both England and the UK were still countries. They have borders. They have sovereign Governments. They have laws, taxes and judicial systems.

It just so happens that we are a member of an ineffective trading bureaucracy.

And a majority of laws in the UK are not dictated by the EU.

Facts boy, facts!

Man reads crap newspaper.
Man talks on internet to other people who also read crap newspaper.
Man spurts ill-informed "opinion" from crap newspaper all over the internet as if it were his own.
Repeat.

I don't mind stupidity but at least invent your own.

Which newspaper?
You mean The Independant, The Sun, The Guardian, The Times, The Telegraph, The Metro, The Mail, or you mean the FT for the currency conversions?
Perhaps you haven't left the UK recently? If not, are you really suggesting our currency isn't in the toilet right now?

Yes I have,
... and yes I am.

I couldn't give a fuck.
I've never had it so good.
