This is where we’ll all be headed if attitudes continue to go the way they’re going. And wouldn’t ya know it, this case was in the UK. A teacher was attacked by a kid with a history of violence. The kid was strangling him, and noone would come to the teacher’s aid because they were …

The Only Garbage Here Is Handing Out Fines
This is the start of the post, which means it’s the part where I say something about not wanting to pick on the UK so much but I have to because they leave me no choice. With that out of the way, we move on to the part where I explain the latest beyond ridiculous …

Let’s Put Them In Parliament while We’re At It
What? Now kids in the UK are being given wide-ranging decision-making powers over their schools? Yup, the UK is really going to hell.

Train Bound For Stupidity
This horible excuse for customer service should have happened on british Airways. Well, at least the British part is correct. Lena Ainscow, a 75-year-old woman, bought an £11.50 ticket to go visit her grandchildren. But because train personnel put her on an earlier train, a bonehead of a conductor told her her ticket was invalid …
Ooo! Poetry Is So Dangerous!

Bournemouth Council has decided to ban abunch of latin phrases because they’re apparently too complicated for your average Joe, they sound elitist and immigrants might find them confusing. They’ve come …
Whoever Decided This Was A Good Idea Should Get The Boot

Because they read somewhere that reflexology claims to relieve aggression among other things, they’ve hired reflexologists to come in and rub the feet of bad kids. I know if I were a kid …

We’ll Take Less Care Of You
Airline ignored wheelchair requests, ordered senior to walk, family alleges I’d expect nothing less from British Airways. After all, they’re the same group of compassionate souls that onceforced a guy to sit next to a corpse for the better part of 9 hours and then told him to get over it when he complained. I’d …
