Trans-Atlantic Nuttery

As Tamara so aptly calls it, from "The Nation Formerly as Great Britain", you may have to have a special government issued permit in order to buy a pack of smokes. Not just a photo ID, mind you, a permit to purchase and carry tobacco.

I suppose the next thing the Brits have in mind is the performance of a background check before being permitted to purchase a set of kitchen knives.

From "license to kill" to "license to smoke." I'll bet the sound being heard from the town of Bladon is the sound of Winston Churchill spinning in his grave.

And from Ahab, the point that if you defend yourself in Former Great Britain, you will likely be charged for murder.
