Via Matt L, I’m told that this is entirely real.
Proud to be British I am.
Rule Britannia, never will be slaves etc. Not while we’ve still got a sense of humour… and yes, I am still convinced that the black footie bags of the perfect perisher helped to do for Mosley. Might not be true but I believe it.
Yeah, a rare flash of humour from the Met, though many officers, it has to be said, are humourless triple A-rated CU next Tuesdays.
I drove past a closed Tube station at the weekend & notice two TfL vehicles (vans) labelled ‘Staff Welfare Vehicle’.
Wtf..?
THEY will find out and this WILL be stopped!
Here it is on the move in 2011, spotted by someone else.
Rumour has it there’s a Teapot 2 as well, which is good – it’s important to have redundancy of critical systems.
They need tea-copters. Then they could be Thunderpot 1 and 2.
Proud to be British? That’s racist. But it’s not racist to be proud to be be Chinese, Muslim or anything else. Which is to treat different races differently, which is racist.
So…the anti-racists are themselves racist.
Quad erat demonstrandum.
As we speak, someone in the MEt is in deep, deep shit…
@Ralph Musgrave: “Proud to be British? That’s racist.”
It ain’t racist. It’s something that *you* perceive in your head.
Everything that you say is about you or your perceptions. You never thought about anyone else.
Thankfully, England and Britain has time for people like you. We nod politely, listen to the words and think about your friends and neighbours.
We don’t have time for you, Ralph. Explicitly, it might be time for Ralph Musgrave to fuck off.
@ Ralph Musgrave
The British are not a race so it *can’t* be racist any more than it racist to be anti-American. I, for example, am a multi-racial white British person, with four different racial groups easily identified in my recent ancestry.
“Proud to be Welsh” could be racist, but “Proud to be British” is, at worst, locationist.
John Miller – Teapot 1 is an actual call sign on Met Radio systems so no one will get in trouble. It is entirely real.
@Charlieman, @john77
Am I alone in perceiving the sarcasm in Ralph’s comment?
I like the way it’s done up in jammie sandwich livery 🙂
@Justin – no. I actually thought he’d overdone it!
What sarcasm? It’s quite tedious to see comments like that absolutely everywhere, entirely out of context.
