Imperial measurements will bring back ‘British culture’, says MP

  1. BREAKING NEWS – SNP to disband in the wake of the reintroduction of Imperial measurements.

    Does this MP genuinely believe what he’s peddling?

  2. Translation from politician to English: “Talking about reintroducing imperial measurements will create enough of a shitstorm in the media that hopefully everyone will forget about the latest BoJo partygate scandal and I’ll get re-elected when it’s all forgotten”

  3. Reassure me that they don’t want to be special no matter what. Doesn’t matter how stupid it is.

    Unrestricted gun ownership is also quite rare for developed countries. You are welcome.

  4. This is so stupid and unnecessary. Apart from stones, miles and pints, the whole British society is more comfortable with the metric units.

  5. My son, you are of age and must choose

    Will you choose beautiful, international, scientifically developed system of measurements where conversion of different values is easy and methodic

    Or

    Will you choose the ancient system formalized 200 years ago, based on measurements used commonly by the peasantry for hundreds of years where all conversions are practically done via SI because they are not intercompatible otherwise

  6. The funny thing is from a purely scientific stanpoint Imperial measurements dont really exist anymore, they are all defined in reference to SI anyway.

  7. You know how nutty Russian duma members spout bollocks about WWIII and demilitarising NATO -well this is what our nutty MPs spout bollocks on.

  8. Imperial unit’s will not bring back the empire.

    Boris Johnson dreams of the time when a big part of the UK wealth came from the colonies, or from shady overseas banking.

  9. I’m ok with this honestly. We’re useless at being bilingual in languages, but we’re basically bilingual in measurements – why would we want to lose that?
