Chim Chim Cheroo

I clicked on the Week-long Archive link on Fark tonight, determined to find out just how many Nanny State articles about the stupid BS going on in (not-so?) Great Britain, and this is what I found...

• Prison guards have to be nice to prisoners. The Sun is there, along with Fark.
• Illegal Skin Bleaching: Scourge of the Empire. Thread.
• As covered in Yesterday's Post, Thread.
• Scotch Grandma can't see her grandkids because of too many sweets. No, really.
• If you aren't a regular patron with a proper regular patron card, get the fock out. Not Circket.

Eh, not as much as I'd expect from the seven day Farkive, but still, it's all kind of childish when you think about it. And what's even more sad is the fact that this kind of crap is trying to get itself established here in the United States as well.

Why am I posting all this nonsense? Well, I've noticed a rash of readers from the southeast of the UK, from about London to Canturbury. What say ye, Englishmen and women? I'm interested in your thoughts on the goings on in your own country, as well as your perceptions of what's going on here...
