I was listening to this thing on radio 4 today which really got me thinking, who fucking stupid can our government be? There are two proposed new national holidays, which make no sense what so ever.
First up is Citizenship Day, a day ment for us Brits to celebrate being UK citizens. Spot the problem here? The UK has no citizens, legally, we are all royal subjects, which doen't mean anything any more, but it still is part of out identity. If we celebrated 'Citizenship Day' it would, theoreticly, end the monarchy in Britain because as I said before, we can;t be citizens if they are still there.
The other one really annoys me 'Comming of Age Day' this is meant to educate 18 year olds of 'thier new obligations as adults'. The lady who was talking about it on the radio was talking as if all 17 year olds are idiotic chavs who can't name another town, let alone another country.
So, we might be getting 'Destroy Britain Day' and 'Let's show how down we are wit da kidz Day'. Yay.
Sorry about this rant, but the person talking about it managed to put me in a really bad mood with how partonising she was.
