U.K. Judges Abandon Wigs For Trekkie Look

Stumble it!

British judges have abandoned a 300-year-old tradition of wearing horsehair wigs to a chorus of mockery from fashion critics and traditionalists, who say the new robes have turned them into Star Trek look-a-likes.

Very Technocratic...You are losing your country bit by bit England.
Look at that shit!
First your cops have to wear the faggoty bright yellow vest...or as I like to call it the "shoot me here" vest.
Now this.
Oh well fuck tradition, fuck England, because there is no England anymore.
If these elitists can so easily throw away hundreds of years of tradition....how do you think they will act towards you and what is left of your identity?

I truly feel violated by the fact that judges can't wear Dame Edna wigs any more. Why, it's like my entire being has been stripped away. This is clearly the first time in history England has ever looked like some future civilisation with vastly superior technology to anyone from anywhere!

If you want a more contemporary, badass look to your local rozzers, I suggest you hunt out the ones with black flak jackets and MP5s.

In my opinion...it is just another little piece of the past that makes Britian British, that has been tossed aside without even a thought.
My point being is they don't seems to give a shit about anything culturally (yes, that is right you have culture) British...and that means you too.
As far as the cops, all that vest says to me is NANNY STATE....but that is all that Britian seems to be anymore a Nanny state of Ninnys.

It honestly baffles me how anyone can get so worked up about something so spectacularly trivial.

It baffles me how easily you can throw away your traditions...and not even realise it or the fact that most within the legal system don't want it changed.
I find it funny that it takes an American looking from the outside in to see something you obviously don't.
Oh well, yours to lose not mine...

Fido Meet Joe Sixpack
Howdy everybody, Joe Sixpack here. I never met you all before, but I was having some pops last night with my bud Fido and he said if I wrote this down, he’d fix up the spellun’ and put it on the internet. He’s mostly full of shit, but I did it anyway.This is about Thursday night. The wife had the kids at football practice and going by her sister’s and I was home tipping back some cold ones and looking for something to watch on TV. I seen the debate thing was on b...

As we know, everyone in Washington DC are assholes of varying degree. Last week we called Sarah Palin out for being a dumb cunt and an asshole. And that's coming from me. If you're actually voting for Palin, people named cadpig, you're a dumb asshole enabler. Palin is worthless and would have the US on a road to destruction that would involve hurting our allies too.What's even more disturbing than people who watched Palin on Katie Couric wanting to vote for her ...
