London Tower Fire

Doesn't mean public housing is likely to improve with fewer building regulations.

Since the regulations and the size of the bloated public sector unionized leviathan charged with ensuring their application apparently bear absolutely no relation to one another, simply keep the regulations, shoot the public sector unions, then shoot anyone who doesn't follow the regulations too, near as I can tell, 1st Battalion The Parachute Regiment can sort this out for them, just cut the middle men out of the deal, and save yourselves about nine hundred billion in the process, hell, just take that money and hand it straight to the poor; kass me outside, how bout dat?

Good point... let's keep all the laws and toys and fire all the cops, judges and soldiers. I am sure national security and crime will be unaffected.

Neither the judiciary nor the military is unionized, simply bring the police into line with that, that covers about 10% of the government, so just dump the rest of these self licking ice cream parasites into the Thames and hold them under until they drown, wot? Done and Done.

We trying to save money or what?

I guess we can have a Public Sector Leviathan as long as it isn't a Public Sector Unionized Leviathan... because I'll tell you what, I guaran-frickin'-tee that the government will figure out a way to spend money like it is going out style whether or not there is a union. It will just be more like the US army... loads of toys, fuck the VA, still plenty expensive.

No it wont, even at the height of the British Empire, the British Army was only 200,000 strong, there is no military bloat in Britain, compared to America, it's exceedingly lean and mean, again, it's not all about you and your associated Military Industrial Congressional Complex, the British military industrial complex is a cottage industry in comparison.

And again, I'm not averse to spending money, if you get this self licking public sector unionized ice cream cone out of the way, the money can actually flow to the people who need it most, just give my tax dollars straight to the poor little fellas, and then they can sort themselves out, I'm not paternalistic, the poor are only filthy, because the public sector unions steal from them, if you just cut out the middle man, the poor can find their way down to the barber for a shave and a haricut, I'm quite sure.

Well... I basically agree with all of that comrade. Hopefully our respective countries can get from here to their without too many cracked skulls and rolling heads... or maybe not if you are in the skull cracking or beheading trade and enjoy your work.

Viva the mundane revolution!

Well I'm not as concerned about Canader to be honest, sure, we have some public sector bloat, but ever since we integrated the economy with America, we've had to cut that way back in order to stay competative, as I said, the United Kingdom, makes "socialist" Canada, look like Texas in comparison.

The only problem in America really, is the aforementioned Military Industrial Congressional Complex, but we don't actually have that here, sure, most of the money we spend on the military is wasteful, but compared to America, it's a pittance. We're not the hegemon, and we are rather isolationist, so I don't foresee an MICC problem now or anywhere on the horizon, quite the opposite in fact, we're continously demobilizing, as the actual military threats to the country approach nil.

Canada is actually becoming more American all the time as we go, the state continues to play less and less of a role, while the private sector fills the void, still some ways to go yet of course, but it is at least, going in the right direction. The United Kingdom on the other hand, resembles the Canada of the 1960's, which we jettisoned a long time ago.

As for regulatory regimes, if you write a regulation in Canader, 95% of the population follows it without even questioning, rebellious and unruly scofflaws, we ain't. As to the 5% black sheep who can't get with the program? We just have the Mounties club them like baby seals, no additional regulation required.

Should note, you Americans actually have far more regulations than we do, the only reason that you're a dumpster fire and we're not, is that Canadians are just more sensible and moderate as a people, you don't have to write a regulation, to get a Canadian to queue properly, it's deeply ingrained in our culture.

As to helping the poor, what actual poor we have, indeed, my prefered end state is to get the parasitic middle men out of the way, and hand my share of the associated tax burden straight to the most filthy and disgustingly needy, so that they can sort themselves out, while spending immediately in the local economy, the velocity of money of course, being so much more relevant to commerce than the amount. To wit, me > poor > private sector - public sector unions = cha-ching.

I think riots are planned for Wednesday. Fun fun

[Smitty-48]

Rioting is the national pastime in England, since the end of World War Two at least, when the bloated public sector unionized wartime incited nanny police state failed to demobilize itself. Kawinky-dink? Yeah, I don't think so.

The War is over, Hitler is dead, time to let the economy just run itself for a change, England. C'mon little fella, you can do it, just let go of the wheel, no need to white knuckle it... just... let... go... you Limey fucking dimwits, just ease off... there ya go, that's it, letting go now... little bit more... there ya go, keep going, it's gonna be ok.... no, no, no, don't grab at it... get your fucking crab claws off of it, you Bolshevist fucking Leftards...
