I like a bit of quirky. There's nowt else I can say."He's not harming anyone, he's plastic, he's just a plastic gorilla... people need to get a life," she added.She's been ordered to remove her plastic pet by June 9 or face a hefty fine."Look I don't want to go to court I don't want to go to magistrates I don't want to go to crown court because this is what they're saying and it's going to cost around twenty thousand pounds which is absolutely ridiculous over a plastic monkey at the end of the day but I will find a better spot for it in my garden."

I hope the history books record just how disgusting the UK police is for posterity
she should've said the local pakistanis use it as a landmark when they orchestrate their rape abductions. then the same cops would be there is a heartbeat to permanently enshrine it

>>537482949Just name it Floyd and those same people who want to take it down will start praying there
>>537482949what the fuck happened to the general british population? did the collapse of the empire eternally buck-break them? i've never seen a group of people more willing to allow the boot on their neck to press down harder.
i dont get it: the house is literally called the gorilla house. that means it gets to have a gorilla statue. it's not like it's a pussy jellyfish effigy
>>537482949Similar laws exist here. You're not allowed to freely design the front of your house if it disrupts the overall look of the place too severerly.

>>537484532damn, we really do this alot, don't we kek
>>537484532Americans have HOA laws that are far more draconian than out local government laws. You've given up everything just so you don't have to live with niggers.
