Nanny Gets Tough on Knives

Nanny is getting tough on knives, our streets will once more be safe to walk down at any time of day or night.

That at least is the theory behind Nanny's much vaunted "knife initiative"

So, dear readers, let us see how she puts this into practice shall we?

Who did she swoop on recently for carrying knives?

Chavs?

Hoodies?

Drug dealers?

Errrmmmm...no...not quite!

Nanny's finest, during the recent Wimbledon tournament, swooped on three tennis fans who were arrested for carrying "picnic" knives into Wimbledon.

They explained, to no avail, that they had simply brought the cutlery to use for their packed lunch.

However, Nanny has classed the kitchen utensils "dangerous weapons" and immediately seized them as part of a security crackdown at the All England Club.

One of the fans, who is 60, was later released without charge. However, a man of 61 and a 30 year old woman were cautioned.

Nanny's police told The Mirror:

"Officers have no wish to go over the top.

They use their discretion to take appropriate action.

It's all about eliminating risk."

Ah yes, eliminating risk!

Totally impossible in the real world.

However, in Nanny's world zero risk is de rigueur.

Gosh I feel so much safer now.

Don't you?

Prats of The Week

It has been oodles of time since I last awarded my prestigious Prats of The Week Award, therefore without further ado I hereby award it to The Fabian Society.

For why?

For being instrumental in the creation of the Labour Party in the 19th century?

Indeed that would be justification in itself, but no.

The Fabian Society has called for the word "Chav" to be banned.

Prats!

The term is widely used is slang for a young person of low social status, often wearing designer sportswear.

The Fabian Society doesn't like that, Tom Hampson (Fabian Society editorial director) believes that the term betrays a deep level of "class hatred" and is "deeply offensive to a largely voiceless group".

All very well, but was it not the Labour Party that used "class hatred" in a recent bye election whereby they categorised the Tory candidate as a "toff". Labour got their arses well and truly kicked for that.

Surely though, calling someone a "toff" is also an example of class hatred?

Why does the Fabian Society not call for that to be banned too?

Answer, because they love to wallow in class hatred themselves.

Simon Donald, the co-founder of Viz Magazine, comes up with a far more direct response to this bullshit; he said the word was meant to be an insult, and that was fine.

We are still allowed, almost, to insult each other.

Hampson said:

"Some uses of some words fall below the threshold of acceptability and some are definitely above it.

Chav is way above that threshold. It is deeply offensive to a largely voiceless group and - especially when used in normal middle-class conversation or on national TV - it betrays a deep and revealing level of class hatred.

It is distancing, turning the chav into the kind of feral beast that exists only in tabloid headlines".

So there you have it, in Hampson's world there are no feral beasts on the streets of Britain, the "yoof" disorder that we have read about and the gangs on the streets are in fact totally made up.

Tony Thorne, a language consultant for Kings College London, noted that chavs often refer to themselves as Chavs.

You can no more ban the use of a word than you can dis-invent the wheel, unless of course you are a believer in the concept of "wordspeak" and a police state as described in "1984".

Evidently the Fabians are believers in such a state.

The Fabians, well deserving Prats of The Week!

The Yobs' Charter II

Yesterday's article about the pointlessness of "having a go" at scumbags brought forth a stream of comments, including a link (fark me, a link on this site!!!) to an earlier story that appeared in the media about Julie Lake who tried to defend a war memorial from vandalism.

Nanny has seen fit to punish her for "having a go", but has allowed the scumbags off Scot free.

Will Nanny, our "leading" politicians (eg Cameron) and some senior police officers who keep advising us to "have a go" kindly take note that there is absolutely no point in "having a go" if we are to end up knifed, punched and then arrested for our trouble.

Surely we have a police force to deal with these scumbags, don't we?

Otherwise, what are the police and criminal justice system actually for?

The Yobs' Charter

I must confess I do not understand Nanny and those "leading" politicians (eg Cameron) who call for us to "have a go".

On the one hand Nanny says that she will get tough on "yoof" crime etc. However, on the other hand, when an honest citizen has a go (as encouraged by "leading" politicians) he/she finds the full weight of the law is not directed against the criminal but against himself/herself.

Take this particular example, that was recently in the media.

Steve Kink, a busy ness man in Dorset, apprehended a 25 year old thug after catching him breaking into a mobile phone shop late at night.

Mr Kink was punched in the face, yet still followed the "have a go" mantra espoused by some "leading" politicians and pinned the scumbag to the floor.

Passers-by called the Dorset police, while Mr Kink stood over him until officers arrived and arrested the scumbag.

Job done!

Not quite!

Here is where it all goes pear shaped.

Mr Kink, the next day, was less than pleased to discover that the suspect had been let off with a caution for criminal damage.

So far so bad!

It gets worse!

A few days later, Nanny's finest then turned up at his house to arrest him for assaulting the scumbag. He was then held in a police cell for six hours, before being interviewed.

Mr Kink, for his trouble, now finds himself charged with assault and battery, and is due to appear before magistrates shortly.

Well done Nanny!

Under no circumstances should anyone in their right mind "have a go". Let our well trained, ever visible, police deal with all of this shit; let's see how long it takes before the UK descends into total anarchy.

Curfews R Us

It seems that, if reports are correct, Nanny is considering imposing a curfew on 16 year olds being on the streets after 9PM.

Police would take the children home or to a safe place, such as a community centre, where parents could collect them.

On the face of it I would guess that many people would raise a cheer to sweeping the streets clean of the feral yoofs that are rumoured to infest every corner of every town in the UK, striking fear into the hearts of anyone over the age of 20.

However, let us look beneath the surface here and see what Nanny really is proposing and really can do.

For starters the proposal is only going to be used in "hot spots"; ie where crime is considered to be above that which doesn't cause the police too much bother with local residents or the media.

Fine, except that this will simply disperse the "feral yoofs" elsewhere.

One might ask why is that a curfew in hotpsots is required, given that if the police wre really doing their job the criminal elements of these wild packs would have been dealt with and sat on by now.

Secondly, not every 16 year old on the street after 9PM is a criminal or indeed should be treated like one. For that matter not every person over 16 is entirely innocent, eg it has been rumoured that 17 and 18 year olds also commit crimes. What about them then?

Why 9PM, why not 8PM or 10 PM? What about the gangs that strut and loiter before curfew hour?

This is merely a gimmick to make it look as though Nanny is doing something.

I also read that the Sunday Times found that nine out of 10 parents wanted legal restrictions on their children going out after dark.

Here is where I instinctively reach for my sick bag.

Read the above bit again..."parents want legal restrictions on THEIR children going out after dark"!!!

What the fark is the matter with these people?

Their children are their responsibility, not the state's. Parents should not hide behing Nanny's bloomers to try to discipline their own children.

Are parents now so weak, stupid, lazy and fearful of their own offspring that they need the state to hold their hands when dealing with them?

It is hardly surprising some kids who are out of control, if parents are so weak and pathetic.

It is not the role of the state to clean the streets of kids, it is up to parents to maintain discipline and to ensure that they know where their kids are, and who they are with. I was never allowed to loiter and to hang around til the wee small hours, neither should these kids.

That being said, I am not so blind as to not see that there is a hard core element of useless, lazy, selfish parents who couldn't give a rat's arse where their kids are.

Given this, it is hardly surprising that there are wild packs of feral youths running wild in certain parts of Britain.

The solution to this is not a new wave of laws cufewing all kids, but using current laws (goodness knows we have enough of those) to target the criminal youths and their families.

Once you have found the hardcore of useless parents, you make them take responsibility by tagrtetting the things that they like; their housing benefits, and removing their favourite possessions eg pcs, TVs, DVD players, mobiles etc.

Having denuded the family of their toys, you impose a family curfew; forcing the entire brood to sit together night after night in their cave, and confront each others' failings head on (alone - no social workers - and undistracted by TVs etc).

Trust me, once you force them to sit with each other, nature will find the solution to their errant ways! One way or another.

The Enemy of The People - Classroom Spies II

Continuing on from yesterday's article about Classroom Spies, the following comment was made by one visitor to this site:

"Its true and is happening!

Our son came home from school on Thursday and told us that their class had been asked to do an on-line survey. Many very personal questions were asked about their parents & homelife."

Now here are the questions/points that I would ask/raise with this school, were I parent confronted with learning that my child had to answer an online survey of this nature:

1 What are the security arrangements wrt the data collected?

2 Does it comply with the data protection act?

3 Who will have access to this data?

4 As the child is a minor, parental permission should have been sought before personal data such as this was collected. Why was no permission sought?

5 What do you intend to do with this data?

6 I do not give you permission to collect, use or share this data. Delete it immediately.

Having raised those points with the school, make a formal complaint to the Data Commissioner.

Watch the school squirm!

The Enemy of The People - Classroom Spies

Nanny, like all dictators, needs to know what we are doing and thinking. There are several methods that she employs in order to monitor our activities:

1 Direct surveillance, eg via CCTV

2 Database records, eg via official forms, DNA, finger printing etc

3 Council spies

4 Encouraging citizens to "grass" on their fellow citizens to the state

5 Using professionals to spy and gather records for the state

A recent example of the latter being the new requirements being levied by Nanny on schools to "improve children's well being".

How will schools improve children's well being?

Easy, teachers will be expected to monitor and record up to 31 detailed aspects of their pupils' lives at home and at school.

This brilliant idea comes from the febrile mind of the chum of Nanny, our old friend Ed Balls.

Nanny and Balls want to introduce "strong school level indicators" that measure how much the country's primaries and secondaries are contributing to pupils' well-being.

Schools and local authorities will be made to gather data about "on site health services" such as contraception clinics which hand out condoms and morning after pills.

They will also be expected to monitor healthy eating, look out for "signs of abuse or neglect" and record whether pupils walk or cycle to school.

Errrmmm...am I the only one who thinks that this sounds awfully like spying on the private lives of the pupils and their families?

It would seem that all employees of the state, ie all public sector employees, are to become tools of the state and will be required to monitor what the rest of us do. In other words, Nanny is turning the public sector into the enemy of the people.

The Department for Children, Schools and Families has issued draft guidance which says:

"Whereas schools have access to a rich set of hard data on pupil attainment and progress to inform their evaluation . . . there is a dearth of data available about other aspects of pupil well being.

The proposal aims to fill that gap in order to improve the quality of schools' evaluation of their contribution to well-being."

Balls said that schools will be "accountable for whether they are contributing to child well-being".

It's called spying!

The public sector, and those who work for it, will become the enemy of the people.

The Racism of Food

Now here's a thing that I had never realised before, until Nanny very kindly pointed it out. In my naive, happy go lucky 45 years on this planet I had assumed that people's likes and dislikes when it comes to food were down to what they had been brought up on, local availability and personal taste preferences.

How wrong was I!

Seemingly ones' choice of food, or rather what one chooses not to eat, is racist.

Gosh, I never knew that!

That at least is the conclusion of Nanny's National Children's Bureau (NCB), which has issued guidance to play leaders and nursery teachers advising them to be alert for racist incidents among youngsters in their care.

Seemingly racism is construed as a child of eg three who says "yuk", in response to being served unfamiliar foreign food.

The guidance also warns playgroup leaders that babies should not be ignored, as they can "recognise different people in their lives".

The NCB's dire warning come in an "easy to read" and doubtless "cheap" to produce 366 page guide for staff in charge of pre-school children, called Young Children and Racial Justice.

The guide warns that children might also "react negatively to a culinary tradition other than their own by saying 'yuk'".

Staff are told:

"No racist incident should be ignored. When there is a clear racist incident, it is necessary to be specific in condemning the action."

"Condemning action"?

Public flogging maybe?

Nurseries are told to report as many incidents as possible to their local council.

"Some people think that if a large number of racist incidents are reported, this will reflect badly on the institution. In fact, the opposite is the case."

Let us be clear, the NCB is encouraging the creation of a police state whereby people are proactively told to report every single "incident" to their local council.

Now you know what your local council is really for, thought crime reporting!

I have nothing but contempt for any organisation that encourages such behaviour. This bunch of fascists (NCB) takes £12M a year out of our pockets, in order to fund its perverted view of the world.

Let us be very clear, a child's attitudes to food are formed by what it is given to eat, and how the parent administers discipline at the dining table. The weaker the parent, the more fussy and spoilt the child.

Racism has nothing to do with it.

The Dangers of Ladders - How To Earn Money

I often write many a caustic word or two about the uselessness of our local councils, and how that are apt to come up with all manner of rules and regulations to stop us living our lives.

However, this story about a school caretaker suing his council rather neatly illustrates that some of us are the creators of our own prison and hell on earth.

Anthony Gower-Smith, school caretaker at Awbridge Primary School in Hampshire, fell off a 6ft stepladder in January 2004 whilst removing some display cards in the school hall. At over 70 he has been unable to work since, and had suffered skull fractures and an injury to his right kidney.

He merrily ran (or shuffled I assume) to his employer, Hampshire County Council, and claimed that they had not shown him how to use the ladder safely and that it was not suitable equipment for him to use.

Needless to say, this being the Nanny state, he ended up in court suing the council and recently won his case. The London High Court ruled that his employer, Hampshire County Council, was 75% to blame for the accident.

He had sued the authority for up to £50,000, but the amount of the award will be assessed at a later date.

The council said Mr Gower-Smith "knew perfectly well how to use a stepladder", and had been given a detailed manual on all aspects of his job.

Therefore, given people's stupidity and greed, it is not altogether surprising that councils have to try at times to protect themselves (and our council tax) from ambulance chasers etc.

We are building our own prison and shackles, brick by brick, link by link!

Self responsibility and taking the blame for our own actions have been eroded from our mindset by the Nanny state, it will take a long time to instill these virtues in our society again.

The Dangers of Salt Shakers - Again

Those of you who are regular readers may recall that I wrote in January about Rochadale Council trying to limit the amount of salt being shaken over fish and chips, by giving fish and chips shops five hole shakers (the normal number of holes is 17).

Well, they were but the vanguard in Nanny's salt shaker campaign. Seemingly at least six councils have ordered five-hole shakers, at our (council taxpayers') expense. These are being given away to chip shops and takeaways in their areas.

Drywite Ltd make the five hole shakers at £2 each. They have now received orders from at least five other councils, including Gateshead and Middlesbrough Council.

As one rather wise chippy owner said, it doesn't matter how many holes it has, people are going to put on as much salt as they want.

Additionally, why not save yourself the £2 and simply bung up some of the holes with sticky tape or glue?

Carol Ackerman, who runs Carol's Plaice in the suburb of Acklam, said:

"People will just put on more salt if they want more.

In fact, we have had some people unscrewing the lids to do so."

Another brilliant use of council taxpayer's money!

Nanny Bans Competition

In the real world we have to face up to the fact that there are others competing for the same things (material, social, jobs, power, ego related etc) that we are; it's called life.

Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose.

We learnt to compete, and deal with failure, when we were young.

We were lucky!

In Nanny's world competition is bad, as that means there are losers. Therefore she has banned competition.

Children under the age of eight have been banned by the Football Association from playing in football leagues and cups, as there are fears that they are under too much pressure from competitive parents.

The new rules stipulate that matches can still be played, but that the results must be kept private and no league tables can be compiled.

Additionally children should not compete in knockout tournaments where there are trophies or medals.

This idea is complete bollocks!

How else will they learn how to deal with success and failure?

How do you play football non competitively?

Failure is character building.

Pray or Go To Detention

Having spent three miserable years at a Catholic school, I have a distinct aversion to religion and people who try to force it down your throat.

I strongly suspect that the methods used at Alsager High School (Stoke on Trent), to teach their pupils about religion, may well have the same result on their pupils.

An RE lesson was being given for 11/12 year olds where the teacher was explaining Islam. During this lesson the teacher reportedly told the pupils that they would then be kneeling down and praying to Allah.

What about the pupils who don't believe in God?

Why should they be forced to pray to any version of him/her, even if it "rolepaly"?

When two schoolboys refused, they were given detention.

Doubtless this will engender a very healthy feeling of tolerance and understanding towards religion.

NOT!

I can only assume that the teacher had gone somewhat off his/her head.

Deputy headmaster Keith Plant seems to be as confused as everyone else:

"It's difficult to know at the moment whether this was part of the curriculum or not. I am not an RE teacher, I am an English teacher.

At the moment it is our enterprise week and many of our members of staff are away.

The particular member of staff you need to speak to isn't around. I think that it is a shame that so many parents have got in touch with the Press before coming to me.

I have spoken to the teacher and she has articulately given me her version of events, but that is all I can give you at the moment."

Were God to exist, he/she would not need human superstitions and mumbo jumbo to justify his/her existence or to make him/her feel better about himself/herself.

Well done Alsager High School for succeeding in putting these pupils off religion for life!

Building Our Own Prison

I recently wrote that by allowing Nanny to dictate to us, and by modifying our behaviour to avoid any form or risk or potential offence, we are in effect building our own prison, brick by brick.

This point was rammed home the other day by the story I read about Frank McCourt, a former soldier who lives in Crawley, who made a citizen's arrest in February on a yob terrorising his home yet was arrested himself – on suspicion of kidnap.

Mr McCourt then endured a three-month legal ordeal, while the yob and his gang went unpunished.

Mr McCourt was forced to act against the yob and his cohorts, when a pack of youths hurled stones, sticks, mud and eggs at his house whilst his wife Maria cowered inside.

Where were the police?

He called a police hotline, but was kept on hold for 45 minutes. He went out to look for a police officer on the beat, but couldn't find one.

Therefore he opted for the tactic recommended by our leading politicians, he took action himself and stood up to the scum. He grabbed one of the yobs and asked his name, telling him he was making a citizen's arrest.

Low and behold, as if by magic, the police then turned up.

Did they arrest the yob?

No!

They arrested Mr McCourt, but took no action against the yobs.

Would the leading politicians who recommend "have a go" actions kindly take note that when people do "have a go", Nanny uses its powers against the victim, not the criminal.

He spent six weeks on bail until April 3, when police said they would caution him. Mr McCourt refused to accept it, saying to do so would be an admission of guilt.

Police then charged him with assault.

He appeared before magistrates and a trial date was set for Haywards Heath magistrates' court. However, two days before the trial, he was told the case had been dropped after his MP Laura Moffat took the matter up with police.

Mr McCourt said:

"Those children have got away scot-free. They are the criminals of the future, and they've been given the green light to carry on, while I've been put through three months of hell.

This country is going to the dogs and its justice system is a joke."

Sussex Police would not discuss the case, but a spokesman said:

"An allegation was made to police and officers duly investigated."

Do the Sussex police not realise how ridiculous they look?

As said, we are building our own prison and shackles; brick by brick, link by link.

The one way to "motivate" tardy police to turn up to situations like this in the future, should you be very unfortunate to be involved in such a situation, is to tell them very firmly that you have called the media (tabloids, TV etc) and that there will be a pack of reporters outside your house showing it being attacked by yobs but without any form of police presence.

Let's see how speedy our local police are then at answering calls to such incidents!
