This is hilarious! Cameron hires Bill Bratton, former Los Angeles
police chief, to advise him on handling the UK riots.

Now that's a riot!

Maybe Cameron should try what Thatcher's government did with the IRA
prisoners. In the U.S., we would force-feed a hunger striker.
Thatcher just let them starve to death.

If he comes here. (not yet certain), he won't last two minutes.

Yes we do need a Maggie.

I don't know who was in charge. One night a convicted IRA bomber,
caught in the USA, spending many year in prison, was moved from USP-
Lewisburg, PA. Back to the UK I guess. They released the man within
a few days or so.

Maybe harry knows the name, circa 1992?

Another guy declared once he was a hunger strike. I tell all the staff
the guy is bullshinting them. I got to transport the hungry fellow to
a higher level facility.

I sat my bucket of KFC chicken next to the AC vent in the van. Mid-way
in the trip he tells me he is not on a hungry strike anymore.

He asked my rookie about eating, so I allowed him to have a "sandwich"
from his travel meal.

Me and Rookie Goober ate the chicken. By the time I arrive with this
numbskull, he has rejected his way of thinking.

Prisoners only need 2100 calories per day.

Seems kinda high, unless they are on work detail or lifting weights in
exercise yard all day. Varies by body mass and age and gender, of course.

Don't hold your breath. With a very few honorable exceptions --
mostly those with safe seats -- Congress is just one big whorehouse.
They pander to their real masters -- the corporations and Wall Street,
and the behind-the-scenes puppet masters such as Roger Ailes.

Congress is the body that would need to take the money out of
politics, so decent people would consider running for office.
Think they'll ever do that?

The system is broken.

Not only is Congress a house of whores (with apologies to honest sex
workers), they are perjurers. All must take the Oath of Office before
assuming their duties.

Most break it just as carelessly as they break wind.

Here's the history of the Oath: http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/...ath_Office.htm

"Gun crime is rampant in Britain"? Wow! I thought it was against the law to
have a gun in that hell hole.

You do notice the Olympic shooting team stores "guns" in other
locations other than the UK?

harry won't support his own country and allow them to become famous.

Guns are evil, wicked, mean and nasty.

You get arrested for having a squirt gun. Staple guns and caulk guns
are near prohibition.

It is considered rampant if one illegal gun is found here.
