As it hasn't been mentioned in a couple of
years, it bears repeating that the term "Metric Martyrs" is completely
illogical.
One can only be a martyr to a cause in which
one believes. They and their supporters should be using the term "Imperial
Martyrs."

I did not post the original notice. That
came from Stephen Davis. From the tone of the article, I'd suspect it
came from the BWMA or maybe the UKIP. That is why I requested
Stephen to respond with an official press release. I did a Google search
and could find nothing.
As for Civil War, that is what the BWMA wants you
to think. They think real people in the streets care. But from the
British who post here, I'd suspect a majority of the scales are metric only
and most people there are use to it. Therefore they would not be up in
arms. Those who are resisting and have not changed their scales may now
be a bit scared, as they may feel the authories breathing down their
necks.
We must now wait and see if this ruling has any
meat behind it.

Subject: [USMA:28920] metric
marters
I just read the posting that big chimp posted.
Was the message from the metric marters? Is there as much
resistance to metric in the U K as the posting implied. When you
read the posting it sounds like the U K is on the brink of civil war.
If there is so much resistance how come it never makes the news over
here. i found the posting confusing.
