Licensed enforcement agents will be authorised to break into people's homes and seize property from debtors under new Government plans announced yesterday. They will also be given powers of arrest.

If you don't pay a parking fine, there could be "very serious" consequences. The County Council will send its "Storm Troopers" forcibly enter your house (break in) sieze your property and sell it!!

If someone "breaks into" my home, he will get a head full of lead - no matter what kind of uniform he's wearing. But hten, this is TEXAS!

[UKCajun]

No guns allowed in UK. Burglars who get lead poisoning are rare. But, if they get it, the property owner ends up in jail doing 10-15 years!!!

Another place I'm glad I dont live in.

Edward I (Long Shanks) would approve.

Today George Bush president of the USA said "In American our freedom is a gift from God"
....not the queen/king...not the state...but God...
In Britain the Queen and her henchment have become nothing more than a petty thieves..

That's what got Longshanks in trouble with Scotland.

[JoJo Gunn]

And some people have nocturnal emissions over the UN and the EU....

[UKCajun]

Looking forward to moving back home to Louisiana. SOON. No self-respecting Cajun would put up with this!

Let me take this opportunity to say how very happy I am for our contries to be the best of friends. America does not have a better or more real friend in the world than Great Britain. BTW, I was at the Farnborough Air Show last year. It was a marvelous stay! Previously, I was in England with my wife in 2001 - and in 1985 on deployment with my Air National Guard unit to RAF Whittering.
