Wandering around amongst the latest Statutory Instruments, I came across this one in which the Government tries to pull a King Canute and orders the fungus not to spread (emphasis mine) : The Plant Health (England) (Amendment) Order 2012 This Order amends the Plant Health (England) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/2530) to […]  Try as I might, I just cannot discover who is supposedly quoted here : Smoking “rots” the brain by damaging memory, learning and reasoning, according to researchers at King’s College London. A study of 8,800 people over 50 showed high blood pressure and being overweight also seemed to affect the brain, but to […]
Isn’t it amazing how bansturbator types are all too happy to ignore research that contradicts their message, even if some of the contradiction is in the same damned research paper that they are using to press forward with their shroud waving calls to stop us doing something they deem bad for […] A brief insight into the Government’s view of other people’s money – an excerpt from a paper by HM Treasury on a new tax on gaming machines (page 4 HERE if you are bored – opens pdf) : It also meant that the total impact on Exchequer revenues across the two rates is “negligible” […]
Sorry, you can’t buy this in Ipswich – the police and council say it’s bad for you. Following on from yesterday’s shroud waving attacks on the furniture shop quite legally giving away beer to customers, we now have a whole town full of bansturbators getting shops to ‘voluntarily’ agree […] Want a table with that? How is it that anything that offends the shroud wavers but is not actually illegal is always described as a “loophole”? Before getting to the point, a brief aside regarding the title (via wikipedia) : Nulla poena sine lege (Latin: no penalty without a law) is […] It is never wise to poke a wasps nest with a stick and expect a happy outcome – firstly from ZeroHedge : EU OPENS ANTITRUST CASE AGAINST GAZPROM GAZPROM SUSPECTED BY EU OF HINDERING COMPETITION IN GAS MARKETS GAZPROM MAY BE ABUSING DOMINANCE IN UPSTREAM GAS SUPPLY MARKETS GAZPROM MAY HAVE PREVENTED GAS SUPPLY […] An example of the government implementing EU regulations presented as the government taking strong action via The BBC : The government is going ahead with its plan to ban retailers from imposing excessive or surprise charges on people who pay by debit or credit card. The plan was first announced last December following […] This one caught my eye for the slant the BBC have put on the evil householder protecting his property : Householder arrested after suspected burglars shot A householder and his wife have been arrested in Leicestershire after two suspected burglars were hit with shotgun pellets. The wounded men and two others have also been […] A snippet from a BBC article on Sheffield’s £2 billion PFI funded road improvement program proving that you can buy what the hell you like when spending other people’s money : Trees and kerbs will also be improved and a further 1,000 litter bins are planned for the city. Some of the bins are […] How about this for a demonstration of how to down a pint whilst simultaneously puffing on a cig : Now, what film is that clip from?? Tweet Via a ZeroHedge article of the same title is a link to an intriguing document entitled “Report from Iron Mountian: On the possibility and desirability of peace” (available here). Section 5, The functions of War and Section 6, Substitutes for the functions of war lay out the Economic, Political, Sociological, Ecological and Cultural purposes […] Whilst drowning in work and not having a great deal of time to actually write anything here, the following two snippets caught my eye with references to 1984 : Firstly from ZeroHedge, the following excerpt from an interesting article on the “War on Terror” and how Al Qaeda fighters are now allies and not […] A BBC article this morning that had me spluttering my coffee all over while wondering why the fuck I (and every other tax payer) should be funding shit like this on the NHS : The rise in women seeking a perfect vagina Last year more than 2000 labiaplasties were carried out on the NHS, […] The cryptic selection of letters in the title is apparently sexist and most embarassing for Microsoft according to The BBC in one of the most rediculous pieces of bollocks I have read in some time : Microsoft has swiftly fixed an embarrassing gaffe which saw a chunk of code labelled “big boobs”.
