To my government; plz to be removing head from ass before appointing people to completely inappropriate positions.

The mention of the cult is also baffling. I mean, I thought people grew out of cults when they were oh, sixteen and being a teenage rebel lost its appeal? And we have a member of a cult as a politican. Oh yeah, they're going to be nice and unbiased in their views, absolutely. Five gold stars to Tony Blair again, good going there Tony.

Sometimes, the only thing you can do at the British government is roll your eyes. (The same goes for my university who've finally put window restrictors on our kitchen windows so they open all of an inch and a half. I used to love looking at the window at some crazy time of the morning and watching all the people walk past but no, we're three fucking years old and can't be trusted with normal windows. I swear, they put one on my window and I'm making an official complaint to the university. I've had enough of them.)

edit: Idly watching a car ad on the Independent site, I instantly identified the car as a Honda Civic just from the engine start button. Damn you Top Gear!

"Sometimes, the only thing you can do at the British government is roll your eyes."

I'm still working on the dictatorship. My campaign will be based on a "Why not just try it?" attitude. Okay, there will be plenty of inequality in this rule, but it will be full of comedy value. "Any student who says the word “Like” when not grammatically called for, as in, “Hey, I’m .. Like, going down the… like, pub”, or, “I was, like, don’t do that” will be made to go and stay with George Bush for a week in order to discourage them from other stupid ‘Americanisms’." Something like the stuff you can find here.

Our window restrictors have a little button about 2/3rds of the way up that let you open them more. If yours dont have anything like that just get a screwdriver out and say you found it like that one morning.

I'd support the dictatorship of Dee. :) Though I may have trouble with a couple of Americanisms such as "awesome" or "cool" but I'm sure I can get over it to avoid spending time with Shrub. ;)

Nope, ours are designed to be basically prison windows so we don't even get the niceness of the extra button. I've already taken to opening the kitchen windows as hard as I can in hopes it'll simply fall off but if it gets done to my window, the screwdriver is definitely the next option. Fucking window restrictors.

Just so you know the "Americanisms" thing wasn't my idea, just an extract from the OMRLP 2005 Manicfesto. I have ideas of keeping the Royal family, but not government supporting them, and turning the royal residences into flats so solving housing shortages. And periods where, unless it's na emergency, it's illegal to drive on public roads, except for me and anyone personally appointed by me.

I have an urge to point out that Opus Dei aren't a cult. They're a sect if they're anything.

The main reason I say this is that the mother of one of my best friends is a member and they're really not that scary. Somewhat obessive and ritualistic, but not terrifying in anyway. And since it's a free country as long as she doesn't let it interfere with her job then it's okay. Because if we start saying members of particular religious groups can't do certain jobs then we're heading into dangerous ground.

Especially since, dude, Catholics are still bared from a lot of roles by a rather unnerving anti-popery vibe that still pervades in the UK.
