>>> Is that Paul Eddington from “Yes, Minister”?

SIR Paul Eddington, CBE, to you.

It pays to star on Margaret Thatcher’s favorite TV show.

These parasites should do the math.

Your suggestion fails right there. These parasites skipped math.

No, it is not all blacks doing the carnage in England. Plenty of pale skin evident from underneath the cowardly black hoods.

The author of this piece of crap tries to link the violence in Britain to 'economic uncertainty'. I doubt it.

Linking Syria to 'economic uncertainty'? Joke. How about dictatorial oppression?

For a projectile vomiting good time, go read the first dozen comments on the original story at the link. Tea Party's fault for the riots in England - I kid you not.

To quote Leslie Nielsen in Airplane, "I picked a bad month to quit sniffing glue."

“No, it is not all blacks doing the carnage in England. Plenty of pale skin evident from underneath the cowardly black hoods.”

There should be; their future is equally bleak.

A headline like “Almost 7 Billion People Don't Riot” doesn't have a lot of click appeal.

OTOH, [IMO] something probably is coming down and if so it won't be orderly and the ultimate outcome may not be to your liking.

Well, I didn’t riot today. But I did jaywalk one time. You have to start small.

“Raise the minimum wage to 50 percent of the average wage”

***************************

Wow...now, that’s funny.

Indeed. I wonder what the equivalent of "Retards!" is in the Queen's English?

Wow, want much?

They don't appreciate what they're given now. Give in, and they'll want even more yet. These people live miserable existences in modern society, whether they are rich or poor. It's the socialism, stupid!

A-yup, definitely. Hey, you've been to the Bentley body shop since that little fender-bender in Monaco, I see. They do nice work, and so *quick*!

Well, I didn’t riot today either. Feeling under the weather a little. Maybe tomorrow. But I did drive the Bentley to the local Safeway in the afternoon, and I looted two advertising supplements from the leftover Sunday newspapers, which I never buy any more, three bucks a copy, are you kidding, the kind of supplements filled with discount coupons on each page, because I had heard there was a $2 off coupon to be had for Schick Hydro 5 shaver or blade refills.

I have all the DVDs for “Yes, Minister” and “Yes, Prime Minister”. They are the crown jewels of my collection.

I wonder if they meant to say free state indoctrination versus free education.

Everything for me should be free, it's a human right.

That's not far off from what the left has been preaching for a generation. Perhaps now we're seeing the end result.
