Metric Martyr Victory - BBC Shame

The striking victory for the metric martyrs, report here, marks a small step in the war against rigid state control and unnecessarily overbearing government. How far such control has become a part of accepted daily life was illustrated in the interview of Neil Herron on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme this morning when the BBC mindless clone, this time John Humphreys, implied that it would have been preferable for his six year old son to later become liable to criminal penalties for the use of imperial measurements. Listen from this link (interview at 0732 after the news item) how the presenters of the BBC main flagship current affairs programme have become mere mouthpieces for the authoritarian propaganda state. Congratulations to Neil, Colin and all the other Metric Martyrs plus all the others in the country such as Tony Bennet who have sacrificed many hours of their time and encountered prosecution and vilification for our right to stick to our time-tested measurements.
