Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Obviously not. Have you ever seen the actual interview? If you had then you would have a different view.

The "actual" words are pretty irrelevant, but the sentiment and meaning is well documented in the declining standards for the masses of people in the history of this Country.

I am afraid you don't understand the sentiment behind the words. The words are correct but misinterpretted by some.

SHOULD Mitchell be re-instated to the govt, cabinet???????????.
Answer NO.
He still swore at those coppers and called them fcuking barstewards.
When I was a kid and had you done that a copper would have smashed you in the face or clouted you with his truncheon.
The coppers lied obviously after the incident and should be sacked immediatly or prosecuted, but Mitchell is a nasty toff with a nasty ignorant upper class attitude.
No way should that man play any part in any partys cabinet.

This pretty much the quote, although I have seen slightly longer versions.
We've been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it. 'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the
It is really about self reliance. 'Society' is a very nebulous thing and difficult to discern its properties.

There is nothing specifically wrong with swearing at anyone including police. It looks like the police were being especially difficult in making him use a different gate. They probably needed swearing at.

Why do you say that gf?
The statement is correct, you can stake your fortune on the states ability to fund you throughout your life, or you can work for a better future through your own efforts.
What is it to be?
How many life styles can the "state" support before it goes bust, along with you and me?

Swearing at police is not a crime, judge rules
Swearing at police is not a crime because officers hear foul language “too frequently” to be offended, a judge has ruled.

Swearing at police 'is no longer an offence'
Officers have been banned from arresting yobs who insult them with the most offensive swear-words in the language.
Secret guidance issued to front-line police tells them not to act because the courts will not believe they have been upset by the abuse.
The Metropolitan Police, Britain’s largest constabulary with more than 32,000 officers, has issued a card, designed to be kept behind a warrant badge, telling officers to do nothing if they are abused by a member of the public.
The memory aid states: ‘The courts do not accept that police officers are caused harassment, alarm or distress by words such as ‘f***, c***, b*******, w******.’
Many judges and magistrates have taken the view that police officers should have a thicker skin than ordinary members of the public. As a result police must prove that someone else found the suspect’s behaviour ‘abusive’ or ‘insulting’.
