I saw an interview with a Taliban Commander, in lieu of more troops being sent to Afghanistan – recently , and accompanying this particular piece was some stock footage that I had seen several times before.
This footage usually consists of several guys in traditional dress - riding motorcycles across the Afghanistan plains and through the villages - normal scene you may think - but these guys are armed to the teeth with Kalashnikov’s and grenade launchers - to name but a few items.
A motorcycle club in other words ……..ok let’s be very contentious and call them ………Terrrori …..no hang on - lets have ..CONTENTIOUS… with a very capital “C” in this particular case ……
.......Freedom Fighters M.C…… :)
Ok enough controversy, and on with the “real “ stuff …………
I do know one thing - considering the way we go on in this country . - I’m sure they wouldn’t get away with all this – “riding around enjoying themselves – business “ in the U.K.……oh…… no - no - no :)
Firstly - I think – our very own guardians of law and order - The Police , would definitely want a word with them about their lack of crash helmets , as this as you all know , is a grave offence in the U.K., with at least three penalty points on your licence and a fine of up to £50 , and would also need to check their licences and insurance too.
( In reality - The Police would probably just let this lot ride on by without a second glance , and end up machine gunning some poor innocent Brazilian electrician – instead !!!.)
Meanwhile , the list of charges go on – like the serious fact that - their various guns and weapons - aren’t stowed correctly in the correct British Standard approved cases , will raise a few searching questions too , and as for their flowing robes possibly catching in the wheels !!! – well your talking sharp intake of breath – serious – here with The Health and Safety Executive .
I reckon Freedom Fighters M.C.’s , social life would be pretty dire too , as turning up to for example – to the local Harley club …..on ….
….* GASP *……
………small capacity 100cc Chinese bikes !!! , not wearing the latest fashionable - leather jackets , would just get them all laughed at , and they can talk all they want about the muzzle velocity of AK 47’s - but this simply does not compensate for this simply unforgivable – faux paus :)
I think - you can keep your - water boarding , electrodes and thumbscrews , as the many years of practice by the fine people of this country in the fine art of ridicule, and the silly way the authorities work here – this country is probably not worth bothering with - especially if you’re a Brazilian electrician – and that’s no joke !!!
