The UK: A Gangsta’s Paradise
The UK: A Gangsta’s Paradise
by RS Davis The Freedom Files  Hello Freedomphiles! A Brit named Bill Malcolm was having trouble with thieves breaking into his garden three times in four months, stealing tools worth around £300 from his shed and destroying his garden. He wasn't alone. Sixteen of his fifty neighbors had their garden allotment pillaged, as well. "About £300 worth of tools were taken," he said, "including everything from a stainless steel border spade and pitchforks to screwdrivers and hammers,' he added. 'The thieves cut through steel locks on the shed, or broke in through the windows. I caught one lad of about 16 red-handed. "He dropped the bag of tools and fled, but although the police took a description and finger prints, I heard nothing. Another time yobs broke in and completely trashed my potato and vegetable patches. "A lot of people, myself included, are growing our own veg to beat the credit crunch. But what's the point if they are going to be ripped up by mindless idiots? "I take care of this allotment but it's very demoralising to have your belongings stolen and your hard work ruined." So, what did he do? He decided to protect himself. Of course, in the UK, self defense is illegal, so his only recourse was the simple protection of a waist-high barbed-wire fence. But they weren't having that, either. Bromsgrove district council ordered him to remove the fence. "All I wanted was to protect my property but the wire had to go in case a thief scratched himself. The fence was just a single strand and ringing my property. It was only 3ft high – it wasn't as though I'd dug a moat filled with piranha fish and erected 6ft iron railings. The council said they were unhappy about the precautions I had made but my response was to tell them that only someone climbing over on to my allotment could possibly hurt themselves." Their reply? "These have mainly been from sheds and our advice to allotment holders is not to leave anything of value there." While they are at it, they might as well curl up in a knot on the floor and beg for mercy. This is where we are headed, America.

First they outlawed fox hunting and now they outlaw fences! Insane!

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air. "Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder. "I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up." The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation. "Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
