Living in ORE (NB)

[Deleted member 478]

Yesterday I heard the devastating news that it's no longer any fun at the funfair. Is it really true that it is now illegal to crash into another dodgem car? And is it true that a farmer cannot drive his tractor into a field if there is water in the field?

The sad thing is that I actually believe these stories are possibly true, but then that's expected if you live in ORE (Over Regulated England).

I've been miffed for lotsa years....ever since the b....st..ds took away the fun (and my personal right to make my own decision) of getting off an old fashioned double decker bus as it slowed down going round a corner!!!

The problem is with minority groupes,The majority remain almost silent.Brussels dosent help either,its forcing France to add rules..glad we havent got blair,thought when hes out of office no doubt hell join Brussels for the perks and egoisum.
I sure the majority in the UK have no idea just how few benifits are left--where do the taxes go??

Agree about ORE but there are other ways of having fun at the funfair, and some of the best bits of the Edinburgh Festival happen at the Fringe.

Recently watched a program about the Statue of Liberty and they had various people, including writers, poets, etc commenting as to what they thought liberty was.

On the basis of those views, there is no way that the social engineering, interfering governments that some of us seem to be currently burdened with can be regarded as champions of liberty. Quite the opposite.
