  1. Oooo I duno these two articles together look like a good reason to get
    out of this one.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8473763.stm

    I could have given a fuller article from the Mail but I know it upsets
    some people :)>

    And

    Last paragraph sums it up if you don't have time to read it all.

  2. No, but they will be.
    All these measures are designed for a time when energy prices go
    sky-high, food is not readily available (especially at the low prices we
    are used to) and the inevitable breakdown of society ensues.
    You wait and see.

    At 20,000 feet?

    Have you got an SA-9 launcher in your garage or something?

    Suspecting there might be some pedants around, I checked the reference
    manual for all things in the world (you know, Wikipedia) before posting.

    SA-9M (9M31M) Flight Altitude: 6,100 metres (20,000 ft)

    Kinda, yes :).
    I think that unfortunately staying away from most first-world countries
    is a good starting point. While the Anglo-Saxon countries might be
    spearheading the effort, I see similar tendencies in places like
    Germany. What cracks me up is that some of this crap is perpetuated by
    people who grew up in the GDR so they should know what it's like. But
    they're not making the connection.
    Yes, but they've got similar problems re fucking about with civil
    liberties and "rat on thy neighbour" ideas. That said, it doesn't seem
    to be quite as bad as here, but we'll see. They've certainly got bad
    laws, but it seems that every place has that these days.
    Hurry up before you get too old then :). I think they've got a
    points-based system for immigration and with those, age usually counts.
