arpadThis joke went through daily funmail last week.
A recent survey in England asked the following question:
Are there too many foreigners in this country now?
Answer:
20%: YES
10% : NO
70% :معهد الأمن العالمي بواشنط
The real funny thing, though, is that the Arabic phrase means "World Security Institute of Washingt". Looks like the guy who started a spree copy-pasted it without knowing...
Conclusion? No conclusion here. Just, err, observation.

Date: 2007-11-07 02:59 pm (UTC)It was quite a surprise to come back from a trip to Sweden at the weekend. One gets used to living here, but within a couple of hours I had encountered traffic jams, boorish drivers, officious bureaucrats, broken down amenities, overcrowding and general rudeness. It was made more obvious by the comparison.
