Britain the epitome of a liberal nanny state. Poor Americans are now heading for the same BS

Score one for the atheists.

Score one for the non-Brits.

Score one for people who don't like garden gnomes.

What exactly are you complaining about?

What exactly are you complaining about?

It's not a complaint as such, just a wry observation ... bureaucrats in the nanny state losing their common sense.
As Chesterton observed: when you lose sight of the big picture you end up with ten thousand little rules.

Take one look at the general British public and I'm sure you'll instantly agree that they need nannies desperately.

The world has gone completely mad.

Has been for some time but madness is a bottomless pit. Just look at what the local guvmint is doing to your own country. Madness has no bounds.
