In my opinion, the author of this idea should meet with an execution squad.

Clearly they are traitors against their own country in trying to destroy it

Bunch of weasel fondling, armpit sniffing fantasists. Off with their heads!


FFS, my dog does not give a flying f&%k what I call her as long as she gets fed.

No doubt this ridiculous notion was drummed up at a communal knitting clinic with tea & digestive biscuits funded by us, the national tax paying cash cow for the time rich, reality poor, soap dodging, whingers front.

They should all be gathered up, stuck in a cage & forced to beat each other to death with a variety of fresh vegetables & salad's. Last loony standing gets a new woolly hat.

I blame the internet. Before then no newspaper would've dedicated any space to a story like this.
