As long as they still say ‘mind the gap.’ Don’t suppose they’ll EVER stop saying THAT.

Now that I think about it, though, the country that doesn’t trust its own LEOs with weapons and/or live ammo has bigger problems than which bloody announcement to use.

Hey you ! out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me
Hey you ! Standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me
Hey you ! don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight.
Hey you ! out there on your own
sitting naked by the phone would you touch me
Hey you ! with your ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out would you touch me
Hey you ! would you help me to carry the stone
Open your heart, I'm coming home
But it was only a fantasy
The wall was too high as you can see
No matter how he tried he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain.
Hey you ! out there on the road
Always doing what you're told, can you help me
Hey you ! out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me
Hey you ! don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.

True enough, except for the Huxley attribution.

The Washington (D.C.) Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s automated announcements on the metro (subway) uses “customers” in the announcements to have people move away from the doors.

How soon before the announcements are made in Arabic?
And train cars are separated, men and women - with each woman needing a male escort before she goes out in public - in a full burka.
Women will have to give up their driver’s licenses too and accept that they cannot own property, attend school, listen to music, dance or question anything a man says.
It’s coming...

London Underground staff have been told to say "hello everyone" Every "One" is offensive to the multiple personalitied.

Yeah, that'll last until the muzzies get pissed off at the queer pandering and explode, hell I bet they complain to some lame Brit rights board that overturns it and gives them thousands of taxpayer dollars on top of it for hurting their feelings.

You are right. Mea Culpa.
That wasn’t the first time my “fingers-doing-the-typing worked faster than my memory and lumped Orwell and Huxley into the same thought stream. The neurons from which their memory is brought out must me closely connected. LOL

Leftardism has become so rampant and pervasive I don't see any non-nuclear way of cleaning it off the face of the earth.

What about addressing passengers as Passengers? Discriminatory against bums, buskers and bombers who want to blow up people waiting for the train without actually riding it.

I sympathize with the people who are there for the air conditioning. Sometimes you just want someone else to pay for a half hour of freeze-your-knees temps.
