Sheer lunacy!

The Monk did not want to believe this report was true; the trouble is that it is all too believable. The biggest check to believing it is the dateline on the original story - 1 April 2005 at 0300! Even so, as I said, it is still all too believable given that we are currently in the grip of a government which thinks it has a unique corner on morality, moral standards, fairness, and diversity.

According to the Yahoo News Page, the lunatics in Brussels are now definitely in charge of the asylum we call the EU! It states that four of the EU's unelected and overpaid Commissioners have decided that all place names in Scotland which have racist, sexist, or genderist connotations, solely on their own determination, are to be changed forthwith. And even worse, the morons in the Scottish Executive and the various District Councils are falling over themselves to comply!

Believe it or not, Helensburgh, Glen anything, Motherwell, Blackford, and a host of others, including Arthur's Seat, the extinct volcano in the centre of Edinburgh, are considered to have names "likely to cause offence to someone visiting Scotland! Why, Oh why, are we even listening to this pile of shite? Why are our eager little civil servant beavers busy coming up with alternative names?

To quote the report: "The German commissioner, Arlo Pilof, the architect of the 2006 Race and Gender Equality Imposition Code (conformity), an amendment to existing rules, said: "We believe many names do not conform, and we started with Scotland because it is the worst of the culprits with offensive names such as Skinflats, near Grangemouth."

Accordingly, Fort William is to be renamed Fort Nevis, and others will follow. To quote again from the report: "Under the new amendment the word "Glen" could be banned as gender-biased. Scotland Office officials have suggested a change to Vale, as in Valecoe and the Great Vale.

An SNP spokesperson said: "This is monstrous buffoonery, an outrageous waste of resources and politically correct madness.

"I understand, for example, that North Lanarkshire Council will consider plans to change Motherwell to Parentwell," the spokesperson said. "What is Dunbartonshire going to do with Helensburgh?"

It continues on to report that the ever efficient Chief Gauleiter of this little clique of PC Warriors has more in his sights, to quote his quote in the report: Mr Pilof revealed that England would be next on the agenda, citing the Isle of Man as particularly worthy of change.

According to the report - A Manx spokesman said yesterday: "I hope this is a long way off. We are two-time losers, what with the island's name and Douglas as the capital. It's ridiculous, isn't it? It's as if these people sat there all day and made up this stuff."

If, and it is a big "if", this report has even a grain of truth to it, then it is definitely time we told this shower of cretins what to do with their lunatic bureaucracy, with their cushy gravy train and their political union! Time to throw them, our own cretinous civil servants, and all their hangers-on into the North Sea and shoot any and all of the b*****ds who try to swim ashore! For us in Britain this sort of thing is quite serious - because our Civil Service would immediately set to work and "Gold Plate" it, adding even more garbage to the already unnecessary idiocy out of Brussels. This is our major problem - every new regulation imposed on the EU is ignored or watered down by most, but gold-plated and rigidly enforced here. This is why the EU is so unpopular in the UK; it's not a "Little England" thing, it's the way our politicians and bureaucrats abuse it to their advantage and everyone else's cost!

Pity throwing the whole pile of garbage and the garbage merchants themselves into the North Sea would probably cause massive pollution! One thing we can be absolutely certain of is that Blair and his shower of worthless parasites would fall over themselves to obey every last word these lunatics uttered! Roll on the election!

As I said at the beginning, the real problem is that so much of what these Commisioners and our own civil servants and politicians come up with is so far-fetched it makes this stuff look positively believable. Seriously, you could not make up some of the stuff Brussels produces, and, if you did include it in a work of fiction, no one would find it in the least believable. I recall hearing a comedian once declare that he no longer paid income tax, he had a deal with the government and paid them Royalties so he could use their material. This is close!

Even though this report is a spoof - and I am convinced it is - it is exactly the sort of moronic policy move that Blair's cretins will espouse sooner rather than later - especially if he gets returned with another large majority!
