3.9.13 News That Sucks
Identity Request
There are two different aspects to the story this week regarding the ID check requested by a checkout operator when a woman decided to buy a fly swat. Quite clearly there was some sort of mad error in the coding of this product, because a 99p plastic fly swatter is hardly an offensive weapon, so there was no need to check that the purchaser was above the age of 18. The last time I looked at UK legislation, there was no ban on anyone under 18 killing a fly, and there was not even a guideline or advisory note from the animal welfare faction. So, a fly being swatted by a plastic implement is acceptable in 2013 Britain. I think it's different in the Third World, as I recall seeing on numerous occasions pictures of small malnourished children who are plagued by flies, and they are not allowed to kill flies.
The real issue here is not the mad rules (highlighted by the customer, Nicola Butcher, who later said that a frying pan would have made a better weapon for doing damage) but the stupid adherence to them by the checkout operator, who wanted a passport or a driving licence! The twattish (or should that be swattish) comment from the assistant manager was: "We think it might be an error in our till system." Thanks for that, luv - fantastic insight!
Finally, to compound the whole fiasco, the customer, Nicola Butcher, is thirty-fucking-three! You do not need cunting ID when you're that much past any fucking limit anyway. If the checkout operator had not the common sense to ignore the ID check, she was a complete imbecile if she could not deduce that the customer was over 18 anyway. Challenging an acne-riddled youth who wants a litre of vodka is one thing, but a 33-year-old mum in need of a plastic fly sway is another. The UK is mad.
Fucking Priests
I don't mean literally - for a change. No, I am highlighting the stupidity of the religious twats who displayed this week a rather pathetic approach in modern Britain. When there's so little need for 'religion', why did Reverend Neil Patterson think it was acceptable to marry Charlotte Sullivan (a deranged 40-year-old) and Matthew, a 51-year-old bloke who is as mad as she is? She walked up the aisle with her pet goat called Moses alongside? One of the bridesmaids was a bull terrier called Bessie. If the church is this delinquent in its decision making and in its actions, then it deserves to be abandoned at lightning speed. The church is an ass!
Council Pillocks
Brighton & Hove Council is without doubt the loopiest collection of arseholes in the UK, after the recent decision to allow travellers use of a park after unlocking the gates! After adopting an approach of locking gates over the summer after ongoing problems with travellers, it did an about turn when 30 caravans were set to arrive. Apparently there was concern that some of the travellers might hurt themselves trying to get in. The result is that the police have no power to evict them now. Instead, the council will have to embark on a lengthy civil court case to get rid of these squatters, and so in turn the local residents, via their taxes, will be paying for that - all the time having to manage without use of the park now that it's infected with numerous caravans and the accompanying clutter. Wild Park is a place that may well turn a bit wilder - from the area's largest nature reserve to a human wildlife park. The thirty caravans on site are bound to be just the start of an influx; it's pretty likely that a few phone calls will be made to alert other travellers that they can 'come on down'. The council is blaming Health & Safety. That's a complete cop-out; the fault lies 100% with the useless CIC.
Curry Cunts
Two twats ordered a curry to be delivered to a false address, and then stole it from the delivery bloke after holding a gun to his head. This whole episode beggars belief, but Dale Barker and Liam Donovan truly were stupid cunts, and have no real grip on reality. They were jailed for 28 months and 36 months respectively, although we all know that this means, in real terms, 9 months and 12 months of time actually served unless they act up in prison. Stealing a £30 curry at gunpoint suggests delinquency, and perhaps a country with a growing proportion of lunatics. The fact that they were traced back to Barker's home where the pair were hiding in a toilet makes the whole thing even more farcical.
