Overreacting and stepping on the innocent...it's what governments are for. :D

The Red Cross has been doing this for years, not really unheard of.

it would be like impersonating a police officer; you just can't pretend to be a red cross officer. I know its a technicality, but its the law.

Good thing we have our priorities in order!

Well in that case you could discard half of all series on TV.

There's a difference between wearing those clothes in front of a limited audience, and wearing those clothes in public. Nobody of the audience is really gonna think it's a real red cross nurse standing on the stage. The image of the red cross as a "special sign of neutrality and protection" has never been at stake.

You'd think they would be catching war criminals who have broken the Geneva Convention, not this:doh:

No no pantomime is a far greater crime against humainty than any war atrocity.:D

A scandal: Every year on carnival thousands of people here dress up in uniforms with a red cross and the german police does nothing to fight this criminal, despicable act of breaking the Geneva Convention.

Yes, freaking make-up-feeders!
Though I like the silent-film-era, but these days it was an art, performed by people who were professionals.

Gargamel 01-10-11 09:55 AM

I don't understand the thread title though.... :06:

Jimbuna 01-10-11 12:21 PM

Good old Britain....forget the problems and hardships we are facing with this frightening coalition government and go on the lookout for serious law breaking....pantomines :rotfl2::nope:

A jobsworth is a person who uses his or her job description in a deliberately uncooperative way, or who seemingly delights in acting in an obstructive or unhelpful manner.

Yer, I heard this on the radio the other day... the fools.

a further description of 'jobsworth' is a useless busybody who will be amongst the first against the wall when the revolution comes. Pity we can't put all of them on a spaceship and launch them into deep space. The red cross monkey lawyer being interviewed also talked about how nurse costumes (ie party fancydress clothes etc) were also braking the law as regards the red cross...
As it was described anyone not specifically authorised to wear/use a red cross on a white background was braking the law and detracting from the reputation the red cross has in conflict zones around the world... I guess no one told the guy about the cross of St George then.
