First Britain banned guns, weapons and self-defense. Scotland one upped them by banning knives. Jobs were next on the hatchet. Now the UK is banning hoodies, caps or any apparel that might obscure or conceal the face in some public areas.

Many feel terrorized by the hood wearing “gangsters” in shopping malls. Whether these “hoods” are actual criminals, fakers or perps in-training is not clear. What is clear is that fashion is more upsetting to the British public of late than the chronic unemployment situation. Eh?

Either gun seizure works and criminals obey the laws, a point which seems a contradiction – since most criminals don’t bother with laws, hence the title criminal, or perhaps the problem weren’t too many guns at all. Perhaps people just don’t feel safe.

Maybe criminals are just plain evil and get off on scaring grandmas at the bus stop. Take away their weapons, take away their hoods, take away their plastic knives, baseball bats and cars, and they’ll still suck. Even if they have to run down grandma with a Fleet Enema.

That being said, I still love Britain.
