Gene Genie

Oh dear, I see some tired old Victorian theory about criminality being hereditary and determined by bumps on the head etc, has been dredged up and dressed in 21st century "genetic theory" to make it more plausible.

A University of Texas study recently published in the Criminology journal claims that, although there is no single gene which causes criminal behaviour, there are "probably" a wide range which play a small part in raising or lowering our chances of offending.

Dr J.C. Barnes, one of the co-authors, claims that there are thousands of genes that will incrementally (1%) increase the likelihood of being involved in a crime.

The trouble with research such as this is that, although scientists usually can grasp how probabilities and risk factors work and how significant or not they really are, politicians and the media know fark all about them and immediately work on the premise that an increase in risk/probability means "definitely will occur".

Cue calls by dog whistle politicians and the shouty media for a massive DNA database!

Oh hang on a minute, we're halfway there already aren't we?

The Joy of Fry Ups

Wonderful news everyone!

The British Medical Journal has decreed that fry ups are no longer bad for you.

Hoozah!!

It appears that the health issue (if there really is one) lies not with the constituents of fry ups, but the oil in which they are fried.

A study published in the BMJ found no association between the frequency of fried food consumption in Spain - where olive and sunflower oils are mostly used - and the incidence of serious heart disease.

Needless to say the British Heart Foundation had a mild seizure over this, and has warned us not to reach for the frying pans "yet".

Well they would say that wouldn't they?

Professor Michael Leitzmann of the University of Regensburg in Germany said

"Taken together, the myth that frying food is generally bad for the heart is not supported by available evidence."

As I have stated many times before on this site, the body is a like a car engine it needs oil in it in order to ensure that the blood flows smoothly through the veins;)

As ever with food and drink, so long as you eat and drink a variety of foods/drinks then a blow out every once in while will not do you any harm. It is the constant haranguing by Nanny and the "health" industry that raises the blood pressure and stress levels, not the occasional fry up!

Now where's my pan?

Bin Brother - Health and Safety

Oh dear, I see that Nanny's health and safety brigade are on the march again.

Kirklees Council have decreed that a binman must not cross Almondbury bank to pick up a bag of rubbish.

For why?

In the eyes of the council the road is too dangerous to cross.

Henceforth the binmen must empty bins one side at time.

Children and pensioners safely cross the quiet street.

Yet binmen, with hi viz jackets, are not allowed to!

"In Germany they came first for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
The they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time no one was left to speak up."

Martin Niemoeller

"The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible

reductions. In this way the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed."

Adolf Hitler
