Mad, mad Britain:

‘Ancient Plymouth pub carved from the wreck of the Spanish Armada ordered to paint over its woodwork
AN ancient Plymouth pub built from the wreck of Spanish Armada ships defeated by Sir Francis Drake has been ordered to paint over its 16th century beams and woodwork with flame-retardant paint.
The Minerva Inn, sometimes called the oldest pub in Plymouth and sometimes named as ‘Drake’s local’, is partially built from ancient timbers carved from the wrecks of the Spanish fleet.
…But Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue has said the timbers pose a safety risk, and must be painted over…’
These effing lunatics really have flushed their history down the crapper. A country without a history is ripe pickings for the collectivists and the social engineering fascists. (and, of course, for islam…)

      Exactly, O.B.! Well said!

      Sheesh…. it’s a miracle that the politically-correct fools like Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue can find their way out of bed in the morning.
      It’s a damned shame that they *can*.

    Just as well Drake didn’t have an elfnsafety officer aboard, isn’t it?

    Oh good lord, what is the world coming to..?? The Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue (or, whoever administers them), just need to fuck off.

    As a former Member of the Institute of Fire Engineers of Great Britain, I feel qualified to say that.

    If I had a decent workshop, Ronbo, I’d be doing just that.

    Why doesn’t the innkeeper get a Grade 11 or 111 listing (or whatever it’s called) from the National Trust? Then no one would be able to do anything to the ancient timber.

    I know it would mean replacing one set of bureaucrats with another but at least the replacement would be history friendly.

    • KG says:

      Why don’t people blockade the place and tell the bureauscum to eff off, Minette?
      People shouldn’t have to dodge and weave their way around regulations where their own damn property is concerned.

  7. KG says:

    Nope.

    As long as this pub has smoke alarms, as I presume all must, and does not block off exits with crates of warm ale, then I’d say ignore the “lowly jobsworths with brief authority.” The locals MUST resist this totalitarianism with ridicule, non-compliance or anarchy if needs be. Fuck it, the Brits are becoming compliant in their own cultural destruction. Can you imagine a Mosque taking any notice of an edict that might hamper their “culture.” Only the Brits lean over and assume the position. If they don’t stop doing this, they deserve what’s coming. :evil:
