An Obituary printed in the London Times - Interesting and sadly rather true.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend,Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or a paracetamol to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
So true


Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers;
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
I'm A Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

A nun was prosecuted by TfL for failing to get off the bus at the stop to which she had paid for.
She fell asleep and missed her stop !!!

We were issued with a fine of £300 because a black bag with rubbish was deposited on the pavement outside our showrooms , in it the ...council ...detectives found evidence that the bag was indeed from Devons.
An officer came to see me , I told him to fuck off, as one does , reminded the bastard that my council tax is £12700 per annum and accepted that the bag was ours but denied strenuously that the placement of the bag on the pavement was carried out by us.
THE COURT CASE IS SET FOR NOVEMBER 4TH !!!!!!!
The country is ruled not by Common sense but by the good old British Traffic Warden mentality !!
Time to get out of this third world nation.
Have you heard that some ex politician made a statement that on entering Heathrow airport one could easily be forgiven for thinking that he had entered a third world country , and everyone is coming down on him like a tonne of bricks !!!
Common sense died a long time ago Deniz .

Isn't it worth asking WHY common sense has died?

In large measure isn't it cos we don't contest and protest these politically correct interest groups and money grabbing, create worthless jobs in enforcing ludicrous by-laws, local authorities?? That we've brought this nonsense on ourselves largely through our bury our heads in the sand apathy and idleness, whilst the organised and active thought and behaviour modification plonkers have got every they can past us whilst we dozed, and whilst we sought a valued consumer materialism, lost the common sense whose value we have now come to appreciate?

That it's easier not to contest local authority and the thought controllers? So Protest and Contest comrades! Fight the mind-controlling politically correct pollocks brigade and contest each and every traffic ticket.

It's your civic duty.

Our political masters are interested in one and only one issue. How to fiddle their expenses , take as much as they can from the system and like 2 jags Prescott retire with a ...Lordship. The country is gone fucking mad.
Civil servants , so called ...Community Support Officers , Police , government ministers - such as the Overseas Development recent scandal - all interested in their own pockets .

Don't start me off on Community Support Officers.... oh sod it! you have!....

Thousands of them employed at great public expense and what sort of support do they give communities? Feck all!..... all they seem to do is hang around in their expensive uniforms in pairs in the relative safety of our High Streets gabbing to each other!........ Millions of pounds of tax-payer's money wasted so these Bleeding No Good Whatsoever Leeches on the Public Purse can stroll though our shopping malls window shopping! ...... Has anyone ever seen them supporting local communities!!!!! Know that when have contacted them (as do regularly to keep them on their toes) get bugger all of a result.

... and yet when Law Abiding Citizens get in to very trivial, very minor "offences" like straying on to road junctions (without causing any inconvenience or obstruction to anyone) the full force of the law is mis-used to get them to empty their pockets on the strength of Dodgy Photographic Evidence using the most modern spy technologies..... Why the bleeding 'ell aren't these same computerised techniques used against the real trouble-makers?????? ...... cos these, the real scoundrels, are all on Benefits, paid to live their chosen life-styles by the likes of you and me!!!!! .... and they ain't got any money to pay the fines. It's all been spent on beer and illicit drugs... it ain't profitable to go after them.

This so called 'obituary' has been doing the rounds on different sites for several years.

It wasn't an ex-politician that made the remark it was made by a German cardinal, a senior advisor to the pope, though they have since distanced themselves from his remarks. Given their propensity to kiddie fiddling I don't think many of us take much notice of anything they say.

Amusing really that gout is the reason he supposedly can't travel.

Too many lazy incompetent civil servants, hang on a minute, don't we have the same problem in Cyprus? Aren't people (I use the term loosely), like British Cow From West Midlands, Gasman, ScotsLad, etc., lobbying for us to go the same way here in Cyprus?

We are on the road to Politically Correct, God (whoever he/she might be) help us!

You try sitting in a Police control room, instructing them to relieve a police officer on a crime scene as the officer is needed elsewhere, they ignore you and carry on doing what they want to do, and No, nothing will be done, because being mainly "Those from a diverse Ethnicity", they are only too quick to pull the race card, We once had an armed operation in Deptford, Suspects had not left the house, Armed Trojan units were keeping obs, low and behold I, could clearly see two of them strolling towards suspect location(CCTV),They ignored the instruction and were clearly seen on camera, lowering the FCUCKING volume on their P.R's!!!!!, Can you guess who got a bollocking for "Perceived" racial discrimination?.UK's gone to shit
