Vet Barred from Police for England Tattoo
What to make of a country so twisted against itself by moonbattery that it forbids its own name?
Patriotic squaddie Craig Briggs has been barred from joining the police — because he's got an ENGLAND tattoo on his arm.
The Iraq veteran, 22, had wanted to be a cop since childhood and was advised to join the Army to get experience first.
Apparently England's Muslim colonizers don't like the word "England" — or as a senior Manchester recruitment consultant put it in mealy-mouthed bureaucrat-speak:
A family who aren't of English origin who see England on your arm could feel you might discriminate against them. We live in a diverse society and try to ensure we give everybody equality.
Except people who actually love what's left of their country, who are substantially less equal.
Briggs will have to get the word crossed out and New Pakistan tattooed alongside before he reapplies.
On a tip from Oiao.

If they said, "NO tattoos on the lower arm" it would be one thing, but, as the article states:
Craig said: “I’ve been told I could get the tattoo altered so it doesn’t spell England any more.
So I guess if it said, "ENGLAND is an oppressive imperialist nation" it would be acceptable." We mustn't offend our future muzzie masters.

It's a tough call, but I think this is one of the most disgraceful stories to come out of Britain this week.

"some animals are more equal than others..."

O.K. Here's an idea...
Alter it to "Eggland's Best." Muslims aren't offended by eggs, are they?

Scratch my previous comment about this being the most disgraceful story out of Britain this week. The more recent post on the reproductive legislation has this one beat by a pretty wide margin.

I think he's still got enough room to squeeze in the letters "-istan" on the end of the tattoo... that would be acceptable, yes?

Half the freakin people in the Universe have tats that say waaaay more offensive things than the name of their country... This is obscene! But you are right forest, the repro legislation is the worst and the scariest!
The "Eggland's Best" modification would be funny!
