When mockery is outlawed, only outlaws will, er…

A nice reminder from the UK that if you don’t like having your feelings hurt, you can always get someone thrown in jail to make up for it.

    Yeah, that was totally not the story I was trying to comment on. I’ve now put the correct link in, and will in future make sure I have the right link before writing up a blog post.

    To paraphrase someone else:

    We are all born Conservative; we have to learn how to be Liberal.

    (Substitute whatever for Liberal; I don’t like them anymore because they can’t even rule with a majority.)

    They should bring back beheading.
