??In unusually aggressive terms last night, the prime minister said he was willing to use anti-terrorism legislation to freeze the assets of other Icelandic companies operating in Britain in an effort to recoup the lost money.?


Fuck me! Is all I can rightfully say to that.


Talk about setting a hugely worrying precedent for the abuse of "anti terrorism" legislation.


Edit: To belatedly add sarcastic quotation marks around anti terrorism.

Careful Mockney, sarcasm suggests freedom of thought which can lead to terrorism in which case you have just given the government the excuse they need to steel all your assets and incarcerate you indefinitely without trial.


Edited: For your protection - HM police services.

Calm down and repeat after me:


Those in power know best, that?s why they?re in power

It?s for our protection

Kill the transgressors


Now if only we could all get together, perhaps once a week in a big hall or something and all repeat it together we would all feel so much more reassured.

Whilst I'm in agreement with the pair of you woolly pinkos over the worrying use of antiterror laws to have a pop at Iceland a pop needed to be had.


Those cheeky steam-bathing feckers decided to ignore international treaties and conventions and screw over a lot of public institutions. I think that deserves a response and a tough one to boot.


Now where are those ICBMs?

Ted Max pointed this out on another thread. I feel that as it is about beer it warrants proper exposure and discussion.

Personally I would welcome the chance to be able to buy 2/3s of a pint of lager as lager has to be drunk cold and a pint gets warm at the end, especially as most pubs don?t serve it cold enough in the first place.


I will stick to pints of proper beer though.

    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft. 
    • What ridiculous waste of money 
    • Lots of good primary schools within reach of there. Fairlawn, Goodrich, Ivydale and Horiman. Secondary schools you will definitely get into the Harris Academies or Sydenham Girls or Forest Hill Boys, you might just be on the boundary for the East Dulwich or North Dulwich Charter but it changes every year.
