Thought Johnson couldn't resign (or be ousted) because he needs to get on with running the country? Dealing with Ukraine. The cost of living crisis.... But no, we need Johnson running the show so we can go back to measurements over half the population don't understand. They're taking the piss.

We still serve beer by the pint and not 0.57litres…
 
From memory, (I haven’t read it in decades) but I’m sure I recall that in Orwell’s “1984” some old geezer in a pub is complaining to Winston Smith about metric measures, a litre being too much but half a litre being not enough.
It’s sticking with pints that has saved us from Orwellian madness. (Aside from the corruption of the press, faux enemies of the people, erosion of liberty etc).

It's a bit scary that George Soros still fulfills the globalist Jewish bogeyman role for so many populists that "Goldstein" fulfilled in the book. Plus ça change I suppose.
 

How much does a dead cat weigh in the old money?

We measure long distances in miles and yards.
We weight ourselves in stones and lbs.
We sell land by the acre.
Horses race in furlongs.
We order pints in the pub.

Which imperial measurements is the monumental bellend hoping to "bring back"?

As I keep saying, this government is utterly out of [Poor language removed]. Done. Spent. Time to get gone.
 
I'd much prefer us to go full hog metric, with maybe only pints of beer being the exception. Goes with the old world feel of most traditional pubs.

I measure my rides in km and my weight in kg.
