Who knew that Spud would be against folk being able to use the units they desired rather than the ones he thought they should?
Something similarly dismissive should do just fine, and require little effort. But, the more who reject this nonsense the more stupid the government looks to be.
Choice, voluntary cooperation, they’re stupid, d’ye see?
If I was a pollie, the last thing I’d want to do is get into a quarrel with the voters over something that was not worth a pinch of shit.
Especially considering I’d have to be dealing with the enormous problems caused by the idiotic lockdowns. Aggravated by the idiotic sanctions.
The ridiculous thing about the whole argument is that nothing’s stopping shopkeepers from marking prices in cowrie shells per pennyweight or guineas per bushel if they want to, they just have to have a standardised price using SI units as well. If they didn’t have the latter I doubt many people below the age of 50 would know WTF they were being charged.
The full response he proposes speaks volumes about his mindset – all Imperial measures would be removed. What a complete piece of shit he is. Just a really horrible individual – utterly without redeeming features.
I have a pack of haribo (the Aldi equivalent tbh) which displays the energy in kCal. 344kCal per 100g it says.
As a chubster I’ve asked him if in his perfect world he would want ALDI to be taken to court for this. Blocked alas.
Sadly he hasn’t twitted about this nor on his stupid death penalty post. I would like to ask him to convert kcal into joules, or to give the calculation to convert mpg into l/100km. The idea of asking his collar size or inside leg in metric units is probably beyond the pale
