Jaw-dropping

Fascist? Us? Never!

Down in Brighton for Labour Party Conference one thing that was noticeable was the large amounts of alcohol consumed over the weekend - and not just by the conference delegates.

Most people are responsible users and are able to have a few drinks and enjoy themselves without causing damage to either others or the local environment.

However, not all drinkers and users of other substances are able to handle their use of booze in such a responsible manner. At weekends, most A&E departments house those suffering from alcohol poisoning, assaults and drink related accidents. It takes much needed resources from the NHS which could be used for other purposes.

Prohibition of alcohol, like any other drug, does not work. It was tried in the 1920s in the US and resulted in making the likes of Al Capone rich men.

One possible solution could be an entitlement card that people would carry and swipe when every time they buy Alcohol or Tobacco and record their usage. Is that too radical? I don't think so. For a long time the Government have controlled motorists with a system of licences where people enjoy the right and freedom to drive - as long as they conform to certain rules.

With the card, people who got into trouble for, say, minor crimes or drunk and disorderly conduct in public would receive a fixed penalty notice and 3 points on their entitlement card with points disappearing over time for in the same way works on driving licences.

More serious offences would result in endorsements on the entitlement card and the cardholder would not be able to purchase alcohol, tobacco or other drugs available for sale through the entitlement card scheme.

The main benefits of the policy would be reduction in the health care and crime costs associated with use of substances hopefully leading for more better functioning society.

Holy fucking fuck! What? The? Fuck? Huh? Jesus fuck, did this cunt really just suggest that we need state sanction to buy a beer or a fag? And punishing us for damaging ourselves?

Fucking WHAT? WHAT? AAARGH! I think my brain is trying to leap out of my skull and strangle this fucking little fascist cunt weasel. I'm fairly certain this cocksucker is nasty little middle-class Guardianista who secretly wanks over the Daily Mail.

That, my friends, is the Labour Party, the party that looks after the common man. Because clearly, the common man cannot be trusted to look after himself.

Tip of the clown wig and a dropped jaw to Old Holborn. I'm certainly not linking to such egregious fascism myself.

Jacqboot has another great idea ...

Need to justify an ID card, but the usual bollocks isn't working? How about this then:

Foreign drivers will have to pay on-the-spot fines of up to £900 for flouting traffic laws under new legislation to be introduced next month.

If they do not have enough cash or a working credit card their vehicles will be clamped until they pay — and they will face an additional £80 release fee.

The law will also apply to British residents who cannot prove at the roadside that they have a valid address in Britain.

But I don't hear the "bloody immigrant" dogwhistle!

The fines will be described officially as “deposits” when introduced on April 1 because the money would be refunded if the driver went to court and was found not guilty. In practice, very few foreign drivers are likely to return to Britain to contest their cases.

Foreign drivers are rarely prosecuted because police cannot take action against them if they fail to respond to a summons. Instead, officers often merely give verbal warnings.

Three million foreign-registered vehicles enter Britain each year. Polish vehicles account for 36 per cent, French vehicles for 10 per cent and German vehicles for 9 per cent.

Ah! There it is!

And still you have the Labour Party banging on about the BNP being "racist". Dare I use the words "pot", "kettle" and, er, "black"?

From the comments ...

Very important issue raised by Carlotta. I'd been meaning to blog on this, hadn't got round to it and find myself spared the trouble by someone who has summed it up very well:

What happens to the law surrounding home education is not just of concern to home educators. In seeking with the help of the NSPCC to control home educators, the state will in effect appropriate the duty to educate and raise all children in England. Every English parent everywhere, schooling or otherwise, will no longer be responsible for ensuring the education and welfare of their children.

If you doubt this, read the questions in the recently instigated home education review, eg:

"Question 3: Do you think that Government and local authorities have an obligation to ensure that all children in this country are able to achieve the five outcomes? If you answered yes, how do you think Government should ensure this?. If you answered no, why do you think that?"

(The 5 outcomes eg: enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution, be safe, be healthy, are actually ambitions, not targets...see Every Child Matters...and LAs have NO legal duty to do anything other than to cooperate to promote these ambitions...see Section 10 Children Act 2004.)

It would help if all parents, not just home educating ones, would respond to this review with a resounding "bog off".

There is a draft response here, if anyone needs any ideas.

Join me in telling the government to wind its fucking neck in.

Who is next, Pudsey?

Via the Kitchen, I see that Comic Relief is chucking money at Fake Charities:

In 2004, Comic Relief funded Alcohol Concern and London Drug and Alcohol Network to produce an online toolkit that would help local alcohol leads develop and implement cross cutting local alcohol strategies.

This means that people giving money to Comic Relief are actually then handing the money over to an organisation that helps promote whatever fatuity the state is promoting this week.

And I'm sure that a bit of investigation will find more and more of this egregious theft out of the limited resources of the well-meaning.

Charity begins at home: look after your own, look after your family, look after your neighbours, look after your town. Most "charities" are now nothing more than government co-opted pecksniffs who want to tell you have to live every aspect of your life.

FUCK THEM ALL.

Vanilla or not?

Apparently, my tastes are rather humdrum and conventional. "Extreme" stuff is much more likely to make my eyes water or just go "ewww". But if you like that kind of thing, you need to be aware that "consenting adults" has gone out the window, and you can now be charged with having "extreme porn".

If you want to get rid of anything, there is some advice here.

PS ccleaner is also good for speeding up computers with crap in the registry, so even if you don't have any dodgy stuff on your computer, it's worth running. ;o)

Dear Auntie Beeb ...

... please just fuck off!

I watched the dismal PMQs, which was followed by a segment from some fucking busybody harridan actively calling for more government nannying of fat people.

They've got the smokers.
They're working on the drinkers.
And now they're coming after the fatties.

Listen you jumped up motherfucking bossy booted cunts: just fuck off!

Because the more you grind us down, the worse it's going to hurt when it goes pop.

Another day, another bit of nannying

Just fuck off:

Increasingly, alcohol experts and liver specialists believe that breaks from alcohol are one of the best things drinkers can do for their health. An abstemious fortnight is more than just a token effort.

Nanny, nanny, nanny, hector, hector, hector, interfere, interfere, interfere ...

"Experts" who think everybody reacts in the same way to everything are nothing more than useless, space-filling, state-supporting cock sniffers. Just fuck off, the whole lot of you.

Harridan Harmperson is coming

After being the cheerleader for offensively discriminatory legislation, the cunt is on the march again:

To summarise: the Government's latest White Paper (availiable here) contains a proposal from Harriet Harman that all public bodies be legally obliged to narrow the gap between rich and poor.

As with so many things, the devil here is in the detail. Because really, the absolute last thing any sane person needs is any more fucking government busybodying, hectoring, nannying and fucking interfering in our lives for whatever fucking reason.

However, over at Timmy's they've come up with a total fucking blinder, which I would support wholeheartedly:

A quick and dirty way to reduce the gap between rich and poor would be to cut the wages of the public sector for all but front line staff. The management oiks are not worth the money they get. Or would that be too much like genuine equality?

Yes, fucking please, you hard-faced, arrogant, bossy old cow: cut the pay across the fucking board in public sector management. I dare you. I double-triple-quadruple-dare you with chocolate sprinkle, whipped cream and a cherry on top.

But I fucking bet you won't, will you? You're just going to use this to fuck over the rest of the country, aren't you?

More ludicrous fear-mongering

I'm calling "bollocks" on this one:

Britain faces a new security threat as a result of the global economic crisis, the head of MI5 has warned, in the first ever interview by a director general of the Security Service.

Jonathan Evans said the international recession could be a "watershed moment" which will shift the balance of power away from the West.

Despite MI5 achieving notable success against al-Qaeda in Britain, Mr Evans warned that with the decline in economic power of the UK, US and Europe, new threats to national security are likely to emerge.

"Where there have been watershed moments, there have often been national security implications from that, a new alignment," he said. "We have to maintain flexibility and respond to threats. The world will not stay the same."

Well, duh!?

In his last public remarks - in November 2007 - Mr Evans warned that al-Qaeda was recruiting British Muslims as young as 15. At the time around 2,000 suspected extremists were under surveillance.

But since then, he said MI5 had succeeded in targeting homegrown fundamentalism, securing 86 successful prosecutions in the last two years.

Mr Evans described developments as "very encouraging" but warned "the networks have not gone away."

"There could easily be activities that we are not aware of," he added. "We don't have anything approaching comprehensive coverage."

Mr Evans said there were many individuals in Britain who supported al-Qaeda or considered themselves members of the group and were helping channel fighters, equipment and money abroad.

But he said there was less "late stage attack planning," particularly in the last 18 months,.

"It has had a chilling effect on the enthusiasm of the networks and they have been keeping their heads down," he said although there was "enough intelligence to show an intent to mount an attack" and it "could happen at any stage."

Oh for fuck's sake!

So what you're saying is: "we're doing a good job and earning our keep, but you must be eternally vigilant and sacrifice more liberties and keep shovelling money at us because we say so."

I can't help but feel that he's over-egging the pudding to make sure his budget gets approved.

Cunt.

4Q2

I just caught the government's tiresome, hectoring, nannying "Change 4 Life" (it's down wid da yoof, innit?) advert. Cunts.

Luckily, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle has a swift rebuttal handy:



(That last one is especially relevant, in so many ways. Isn't it, Gorgon?)
