I know the current government is quite keen to control every aspect of our lives but some of the specific regulations being proposed in the Tobacco Advertising and Promotion 2010 Act (pdf) read like a Daily Mash piss take : Price lists 6.—(1) The requirements are— (a)...
Retrospective Legislation.
Our current government seems to be getting quite keen on using retrospective legislation; that is, legislation which makes something which was legal at the time now illegal under the new legislation. Imagine, for a moment, performing some perfectly legal act only to...
Very disappointing.
What is it with these government cockweasels? Everytime one of their vigorously pursued policies gets shot to shit they are disappointed or even very disappointed. Following on from my previous post I will provide examples : Climate scepticism on the rise : The...
Sloppy journalism in action.
Whilst I read the BBC news site regularly, their standard of journalism usually causes my blood pressure to rise due to its sloppy and lowest common denominator approach to writing. This article, for example, is representative of their slack practices. Firstly, we...
One off the wrist

News from the BBC that doesn't even rank as surprising these days considering the sheer number of mouthbreathers now infesting this land. And another excuse for our wonderful caring government to piss a few more millions up the wall to create more non-jobs to protect...
Labour MP confirms Labour are illiberal fuckwits
Browsing Hansard today I came across this from John Mann, Labour MP for Bassetlaw : Sixty-one per cent. of councils that do not use ASBOs in a given year are Conservative administrations. It is no surprise that its Front-Bench Members have now disappeared. Twenty-five...
A confusion of sceptics.
I'm not entirely sure what Roger Harribin of the BBC has been smoking but it would seem he has got his sceptics somewhat confused : Euro-sceptic blogger Richard North said: "The IPCC also made false predictions on the Amazon rainforests, referenced to a non-peer...
