1984 was late by a few decades.

Huh? How can shaking cans offend anyone?

Political correctness says you can't celebrate Christmas because Muslims might be offended. Go figure.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

Yeah, I bet they still allow the Muslim’s call to prayer.

Subjugated by our own stupidity - Shish!

"Members have been forbidden to shake their charity tins - even if it's done in time to the music - in case it harasses or intimidates people. One said she had been told it might also offend other religions."

And what of the street vendors on many corners in NYC with Islamic music blasting from their boom boxes?

Is anyone telling them to turn off the music because it may be offensive to some who lost loved ones in the Islamist attack of 9/11?

Great Britain is toast...

[crusty old prospector]

I am offended by some pagans pointing all the butts up in the air in unison and howling at the moon five times a day.

It’s England ... hasn’t hit the US .... yet ....England has become Englandistan ....

I look forward to the UK’s next version of Guy Fawkes day.

The English can’t sell themselves out to the muslim hordes fast enough.

Eric Arthur Blair is constantly gaining my admiration. His life was a great contribution to humanity.

[reagan_fanatic]

Western society is slowly assuming a fetal position and sucking it’s thumb.

[TheThinker]

Where’s the tolerance?

Smalltown, crouching in the valley
Woken by the Sally Army
Sunday marchround
Smalltown, coughing in the toilet
Who on earth would spoil it
Would they pull down Smalltown?

Turban Sprawl engulfs the U.K., film at 11:00...

...And boy that really offends me. Amen.

[RWB Patriot]

What do you expect from a country with warped views of individual freedom (if Britain even has any at all).

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

"1984 was late by a few decades."

1984, like Soviet rule, was imposed by the state on an oppressed population.

Our growing gulag is welcomed and even enforced through peer pressure on a grass roots level by those who flatter themselves as enlightened and intelligent.
