What?!? you can't be serious?!!!!?

anyone who had taken a tube in london during rush hour will know that there is a free newspaper called the Metro. imagine my horror when i flipped through the papers for the headlines this morning... then i ask myself, goodness, what is becoming of london/UK?

Check out the headlines and excerpts

1. Addicts should not go to jail 'Thieves who steal to fund a drug, alcohol or gambling habit should be spared jail,'
2. Plea to scrap homework 'Compulsory homework should be axed for primary age pupils and cut back for teenagers because it causes too much pressure.'
3. Extinguishers banned as a fire safety hazard 'Fire extinguishers could be removed from communal areas in flats throughout the country because they are a safety hazard'
4. Clampers milked me for 125 pounds 'A milkman's day tourned sour when his electric float was clamped as he made his deliveries

how ridiculous is all this?

1. not jail criminals to support their habit??!!! what???!!!?
2. no homework? how are the kids going to learn anything? and too much pressure? come on! if a kid cannot even handle something as simple as homework, what chance is there for them to survive when they are in the workforce. oops. maybe they will never make it to the workforce as they simply do not know anything. the last i read, secondary school kids only had primary school knowledge of maths.
3. hang on a minute... a fire extinguisher is a fire hazard? EXCUSE ME!!!! its a FIRE EXTINGUISHER!!! it can potentially save a life! for goodness sake.
4. correctly labelled by deirdre as 'scums-of-the-earth', these people clamp for any silly reasons just to get the unclamp fees. this guy delivers milk for goodness sake! my estate agent previously told me that he was fined once when 1 of his car wheel went out of the parking box!!!!!

for this i thank God for Singapore.

* fist thump chest and point towards singapore geographically*
