Respect zones and.....?

[dyli795]

So, if we get "respect zones" what will zones not designated as respect zones be labeld with for a name, or term? eg. "O.K. Zones" (?) no; that's no good, because then the respect zones wouldn't be O.K. I don't know , 'swhy i'm askin'. anybody any ideas? How will we know when we are entering a respect zone? Will there be signs up on the lamp posts? Will they be identified on ordnance survey maps? Will it affect the price of houses?Or is it all a passing fancy of a half baked idea being alowed to die a natural death because Jade has sudenly become more news worthy ? (She doesn't get paid for those interviews you know ! ) I'm straying a bit now, I know , but you get the general idea, anyway, any comments? Subject- "Respect Zones"

Seems to me that this is just another load of meaningless New Labour drivel that will have absolutely no effect on those flouting the law.

Thanks for the link verhelpfulguy. I think hammerhead has summed it up most eloquently.

I also echo the thanks from idalovett to vehelpfulguy, (not the first time he's played a good'un on here) I read part way into the article then about half way it just got too innane and I had to retreat while my mind was still in one piece!
These people have kidnaped the term Labour for somthing to hang their, alas, ill fated, sadly comic theology.
Anyone thinking this government is "silly" and "useless" please be warned, they have been for some time now, clever and devious enough to conjour up smoke screen after smoke screen to mask their ineptitude and total lack of spine enough to grasp the situation facing this once great country. Marching people off to cash machines? Trying to explain what the word respect refers to. Yea like "Oh, I never thaught of that ! Hey thanx Tone ! ! ! " It is a total and utter waste of time if you feel compelled to explain respect to any one over the age of ... well fill in the gap, but I'd say seven or so for anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together. (Luckily I have five. I think.)

In a way I'm a bit disappointed. I just happened to catch a bit about it on the news a few days ago, this respect zone thingy, and thaught Who needs big brother this is going to be a right guffaw! But, I think someone remembered the words of monty python just in time, "This is all getting too silly"

Those areas not designated as Respec' Zones are to be known as Dissin' Zones, and denoted as "Diss" on maps.
The first trial Dissin' Zone was set up in Norfolk in Autumn 2005, here.

That map floats my boat all righty! I want to go and live in Diss, I'd slot right in there a treat. Why can't we expand Diss to cover the rest of England?

What do Dissites think? anybody there?
