Explaining Civilisation

To those seemingly unfamiliar with the concept:

The uninvited newcomers – chiefly, it seems, men of fighting age and all mysteriously unencumbered by identifying documents – are given helpful pointers on the customary use of pavements and pedestrian crossings, and are warned about the hazards of randomly strolling through moving traffic on busy roads. They are also introduced to the novel concepts of avoiding foul language in public and not abusing animals for amusement purposes.

Other teething problems have, it seems, arisen:

“The initiative by Northamptonshire Police followed community and parental complaints over young male asylum seekers loitering near a primary school in the county, including claims of filming.”

Not loitering at the gates of primary schools in order to film small children being another cultural subtlety requiring clarification.

Oh, there’s more. Much more.

  1. Where I live the media always labels those fighting-age men as unaccompanied minors.
