Pussycat Pussycat V - Ding Dong Dell Pussy Didn't Kill

Good morning loyal readers.

Do you recall way back in March that I wrote a number of articles about Nanny's hysteria over Mephedrone (aka "Miaow Miaow"), the then legal high?

Here is an extract of one of my articles:

"There have been some very shouty headlines in the media (paper, TV and radio) over the past few weeks wrt the "legal high" drug Mephedrone (aka "Miaow Miaow").

Despite the fact that the toxicology reports have yet to come in, the media is absolutely one hundred percent certain that the drug was 100% responsible for the recent deaths of a handful of young people.

Dog whistle politicians have also been keen to get in on the "shouting", and have combined with the shouty media to call for a ban on the drug.

The fact that there is strong circumstantial evidence (yet to be confirmed by toxicology tests) that other substances were also being taken by these people with Miaow Miaow is being ignored by the media and the dog whistle politicians.

Nanny hates facts to impede a good "action headline" such as "government bans drug".

The actuality is as follows:

1 Until the toxicology reports are in, no one actually knows what caused the deaths of these people.

2 Ban this drug and the chemists will simply create a similar one with a slightly different chemical structure, that will be legal.

3 Prohibition created a large criminal industry in the USA in the 1920's. Banning drugs, as we currently do, has created a wealthy, powerful, vicious criminal community. Legalise drugs and you chop the legs off this community in one fell swoop...

As sure as eggs are eggs, Nanny went ahead and banned the drug.

The price of the drug then went up from £10 a gram to £40, someone did rather well out of the ban didn't they?

This week BBC South entrapped some hapless student at a Sussex university into selling a reporter a gram of Miaow Miaow. Needless to say the poor sod has been expelled (temporarily I think), and the police have got themselves involved. The BBC filmed a police spokesman saying they take this matter seriously, and that the drug has been proven to kill etc etc.

All very well, except for one very major fly in Nanny's oinkment.

You recall that at the time of the great hysteria over the deaths of two young men, that everyone ion the shouty media world and dog whistle politicians had said they were killed by Miaow Miaow?

Well, guess what?

The toxicology reports are now in.

Can you guess what they say?

Yes, that's right, the results state that the two young men did not take Miaow Miaow. Their blood streams contained a dangerous mix of booze and methadone (a synthetic heroin substitute).

So the furore kicked up by the tabloids over Miaow Miaow was in fact bollocks.

Will we be hearing an apology from Humberside police, who spread the rumour at the time that Miaow Miaow had been involved?

No!

Will we hear an apology from the shouty tabloids, who whipped Nanny into a frenzy over this lie?

No!

Will we hear an apology from the dog whistle politicians who voted through the ban?

No!

Factoid: various organisations used zero facts (one might almost infer that they lied) to push their own political/moral agenda.

The drugs policy of this country is in a total mess.

The only people who are doing well out of the current drugs policy are, the criminals (who make a fortune out of it), the shouty media who like lurid headlines and dog whistle moralising MPs who use it to manipulate their "moral majority" voters.

Factoids

1 The semi civil war in Mexico over drugs, that is now spilling over into the USA, will eventually force legislators there to legalise drugs in order to cut the legs off the criminal drugs lords who are destroying the country.

2 Leading politicians on both sides of the Atlantic (a President and a Prime Minister) have admitted to, or have almost admitted to, taking a variety on illegal substances. yet they have managed to lead fulfilling, non self destructive lives. How is they seek to maintain a ban on substances that they have taken?

3 Drugs finance terrorist economies, eg Afghanistan. Legalise drugs and the terrorist economy is decapitated.

I say again, without any lack of clarity or fudging of the issue, drugs should be legalised.

Once legalised, they can be taxed and the public properly educated as to their effects.

The legalisation will bring about the end of the stranglehold that the criminal gangs currently have on many of the run down estates in this country. The ending of their supply of easy money will remove their power, kudos and "bling"; their power over others will end.

That surely is a good thing?

Is it not ironic that those who would most strongly resist the legalisation of drugs are those who currently make money of them?

The Child Inspectors

I see that, despite our "glorious new age" of politics, Nanny is still intent on prying into the lives of her citizens.

Guidelines for inspections of family homes have been drawn up on the instructions of Nanny's chums in the Department of Health.

For why?

Nanny is worried about the number of injuries occurring to under 15s in the home.

Parents who have children under five will be visited by Nanny's inspectors. The inspectors will check whether families have installed smoke alarms, stair gates, locks on medicine cupboards, windows and ovens, and fitted temperature controls to stop bath water getting too hot etc.

Can you guess which organ of the state has drawn up the guidelines?

Yes, that's right, our old "friends" National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice).

Health and safety organisations have been told to identify homes where children are thought to be most at risk of accidents, and "offer home risk assessments".

Seemingly Nanny will use doctors and nurses as her spies, to tip off the state about children who have been admitted with injuries.

I used to fall over in the garden all the time and graze my knees, it's what happens when you are 6 or so. I don't fall over very much now:)

So, what happens then when someone refuses to allow a visit by Nanny's inspectors?

I guarantee, at the very least, their names will be added to a little list entitled "Uncooperative Needs To Be Watched".

Booze Matters - Supermarkets Want Their Cut

Nanny, as we know, has long hated the working classes (people who don't live in Islington, non Guardian readers and who buy food based on what they can afford rather than overpriced trendy organic shit).

She hates the fact that the working classes (allegedly) drink more, eat more unhealthy stuff, and smoke more than the rest of the population. Nanny also really hates the fact that the working classes are more willing to stick the finger to Nanny and her minions.

Well now, it would appear that Nanny is broadening her perspective and spewing forth her bile at the middle class as well.

In yet another media headline grabbing attempt, some tedious part of the NHS (NHS Information Centre) has warned that the middle classes are now drinking more than the working classes.

Also, for good measure, Nanny warns that married couples are also more likely to drink more often than singletons.

Seemingly sales of wine have increased more than that of any other type of alcohol over the last two decades, up by more than 50% since 1992.

Are "working class" people not allowed to drink wine then?

Why does this mean that "middle class" people alone are drinking wine?

Nanny warns that more than 10 million people are drinking at hazardous levels.

That would include our "beloved" MPs and members of the medical profession (who are no mean slouches themselves when it comes to downing a few, in between a few puffs on a fag and a couple of lines of Bolivian marching powder).

Needless to say, health "experts" are using these "findings" to call for a minimum price for a unit of alcohol.

Golly gosh, hot into the fray comes Sir Terry Leahy, the chief executive of Tesco, who is also calling for...can you guess?...yes, that's right...a minimum price on alcohol.

Could that call be possibly connected to the fact that he wants to increase his profit margins?

No one is stopping him from raising the price of booze in his stores now, if he is really so concerned about our health.

Ah, but wait a minute, that would mean that he would lose market share. Far better he gets the government to legislate allowing him and his competitors to form a government backed price fixing cartel (which is actually not allowed under current laws).

In the event that the prices are raised, given Nanny's statement that the middle classes are in fact the ones drinking more, how exactly will raised prices lower the rate of drinking amongst the middle classes (whom we assume can more likely afford the increase)?

Have we not, until recently, been bombarded with shite from Nanny telling us that drink is responsible for all crime in Britain?

After all after a few drinks we all have the urge to go out and beat someone senseless, don't we?

Are we to assume from these anti middle class findings that it is in fact the drunken middle classes who are responsible for all crime in the UK?

Are married people more likely to be drunken criminals, rather than singletons?

It seems to me that Nanny is very selective when it comes to presenting and using the "facts" that claims to have "researched".

Booze Matters - Dodgy Survey

Congratulations to Drinkaware, the alcohol charity, who commissioned a survey of 1,000 people about booze.

The results of the survey were extrapolated by some algorithm to produce a nice media headline, that claims 520,000 people go to work each day with a hangover.

The same people, or 520,000 new ones each day?

Let's make it a nice round million then folks!

The charity then drones on about lost productivity, and bosses not doing enough to discourage their workforce from drinking during the week.

Evidently Drinkaware is under the misguided delusion that we still reside in some form of feudal society, where our lives are owned by the local squire.

Not content with moaning about that, Drinkaware then warn about the dangers of the World Cup encouraging more boozing.

Yawn!

Let's make it a round million then folks!

Nanny's Bloody Database

I see that Nanny has been quietly building a DNA database, using blood samples taken from millions of newborn babies.

The blood samples are taken to check for serious conditions. However, despite giving new mums a nice little leaflet explaining why the samples are taken, what Nanny doesn't tell the mums is:

1 How long the hospitals will store the samples.

2 That the records can be accessed by police, coroners and medical researchers.

Some places are, apparently, keeping the samples on record for more than 20 years.

A glossy leaflet is not informed consent.

Bin Brother - Mobiles 'R Us

I see that employees of Biffa (wasn't he a regular on the front of the Beano, or was it Biffo?) will be given £1.75M worth of Vodafone BlackBerrys.

Biffa, aside from being a stalwart of the Beano, is also a waste disposal company (ie it employs many of the country's binmen).

The phones will be used to snoop on both householders (eg photographing "environmental crimes", such as an overfull bin) and the binmen themselves (mobiles have tracking devices etc).

At least this time everyone (binmen and householders) are being treated equally.

That at least is progress!

Bin Brother - A Nation of Informers

I see that Hull City Council is adopting tactics used by rather odious regimes (past and present), to keep their citizens under control, by encouraging residents to report neighbours for 'environmental crimes'.

What is an environmental crime?

Putting bins out too early or late!

The Gestapo from Hull wants householders to fill in 'diary sheets' to log bin incidents.

Bin criminals could face a £100 fixed penalty notice or be fined up to £1,000 in court for leaving rubbish next to a bin or blocking a path with a bin.

And so it begins!

Nanny Bans Bicycle Repair Kits

Having written articles about Nanny and her stupidity for many years, I have become somewhat desensitised to some of her goings on. However, as jaded as I am, even I found this story to be particularly jaw dropping wrt how braindead our society has become.

Daniel Cottrell (17 years 10 months old) went shopping recently with his dad, in a 99p store in Greywell Shopping Centre.

He made a bold and brave attempt to purchase a bicycle repair kit (which contained a.o. chalk, a rubber patch, sandpaper and a 5ml glue stick).

Can you guess what happened next loyal readers?

Yes, that's right, the shop assistant refused to sell him the kit lest he sniff the glue.

Under the Intoxicating Substances (Supply) Act 1985, it is an offence to sell any intoxicating substances to a person under the age of 18, such as solvent-based glues, aerosols, dry cleaning fluid, correction fluid and marker pens.

However, the offence is only an "offence" if the shopkeeper may reasonably believe the product will be used for intoxication; ie the law actually does allow people to use some commonsense.

Were the lad intending to sniff glue, why would he buy a puncture repair kit?

Why would he go along with his dad to buy it?

Isn't it far easier for a teenager to score hard drugs, therefore why would he waste time and effort sticking a "Pritt Stick" up his hooter and gluing his nostrils shut?

As you can see my loyal readers, Nanny has eradicated any modicum of commonsense from our genetic code years ago. We have become a nation of sheeple.

Roll Back The Frontiers of The State

In December 2009 I wrote a number of articles about repealing the humongous number of laws made by Nanny.

Here is an extract from one of them:

"Factoid

Did you know that since coming to orifice in 1997 ZaNuLabour have, via its obsession with legislation, created new crimes at a rate of nearly one a day?

Hardly surprising that the police tend to appear heavy and handed and clueless, they simply can't keep up with the legislation and don't know how to interpret it.

Where were the Tories and "Liberal Democrats" during this period?

We have been let down big time by the "opposition".

Why have ZaNuLabour been allowed to get away with this?

You do realise folks that, as entertaining and cathartic as it may be to sit around saying 'isn't this awful?', unless we actually do something to reverse this trend we are up shit's creek without a paddle?

'What can we do?' I hear you cry...

1 Make a list of the laws that you want repealed...."

In a later article, in December, I wrote this:

"I sent the following to David Cameron (copied to the Independent).

Politicians Have Failed The British People

'David

FYI.

Whilst my views, on their own, may not count for much; the fact that others agree with me (see the comments) ought to spur you to action, I hope, lest the "Repeal Party" actually takes physical form.

Kind regards

Ken Frost

Now, guess what?

Nick Clegg, known in Tory circles as "Number Two", is to call on the public to nominate laws that they think should be repealed.

Errmmm...could it be that someone somewhere may actually have woken up to the fact that we are fed up with the minutiae of our lives being controlled by the state?

As I asked for then, I ask again, please send in a list of the laws that you want repealed:

1 Stating, in a coherent well reasoned manner, why they should be repealed.

2 The exact legislation you are referring to, ie name and date of passing by parliament.

I am happy to collate a well documented list, coupled with a well reasoned case, and send to Clegg.

The state should be afraid of the people, the people should not be afraid of the state!

Fishy Business

My sympathies to Clive Roberts, a voluntary hospital worker at the University Hospital of Wales, who recently fell foul of Nanny's fish protection rules.

Mr Roberts maintains the pond in the hospital and, because it was about to be drained, used his brains and scooped up the 60 fishy occupants of the pond into a bucket to move them to his own garden pond for temporary housing.

Can you guess what happened next loyal readers?

Yes, that's right, Nanny's Environment Agency told him that he had not followed proper procedures (ie he needed a formal licence to move the goldfish - the rule is there to prevent the spread of disease).

He was worried that he faced the prospect of prosecution and, surprise surprise, a fine of £1K.

Our government, as clearly stated by an outgoing Treasury bod, has no money left. Therefore they, and their minions, will use every trick in the book to bleed us dry.

However, it seems that the media publicity may have caused the EA to back off, they seem to be indicating that they will not take any action.

Nanny Bans Cake Again

The design team are very pleased that you all like the new logo so much:)

In celebration they were going to bake you all a cake. However, they then read what the numpties of Knowsley Borough Council (KBC) and Chester University (CU) have been up to, and decided against it.

KBC and CU have set up something called "The Pre-School Nutrition Project", which (as befits a bunch of Nanny wanabees) sets out strict rules for food supplied at nurseries.

Sweets and cakes brought in for children's birthdays cannot be eaten in the nursery, but must be handed to parents at the end of the day.

Now I know that, according to Nanny, we have become a nation of fat bastards. However, making everyone paranoid about what they eat (especially at such a young age) will turn many into body hating anorexics or body hating overeaters.

Julie Tierney, the Assistant Public Health Director behind the scheme, droned on to some media organ or other:

"Our Health & Wellbeing's Early Years Healthy Eating Guidelines encourage nurseries to provide healthy snacks and treats for all children in their care, and encourages them to choose foods and drinks that are not high in sugar as part of a healthy lifestyle.

It is important that special days are celebrated and nurseries are innovative and creative in the way that they do this without the need to give foods high in sugar."

I didn't know that under fives had a "lifestyle" as such!

Birthday cakes, as such, do not create morbidly obese kids (unless they scoff an entire cake by themselves each day).

Feed a child freshly prepared decent food at set times, allow them the occasional treat (eg cake, chocolate etc) and learn to say "no" to excess; thus you will produce a healthy adult, who has some self control and self respect over what they eat.

Excessive control over every mouthful will create a neurotic adult who is overweight, through excessive comfort eating, or anorexic.

The Curate's Egg

It is pleasing to see one piece of Nanny nonsense, the ID Card scheme, is destined for the dustbin of history under our brave new coalition government (also HIP's).

However, I am more than a tad concerned to see that the rules for terminating parliament via a vote of confidence have been altered, from a simple majority of one MP to a majority of 55%.

The coalition (or do we simply call them the Tory government?) propose to put forward a motion naming 7th May 2015, as the date of the next general election. There could be an earlier election only if more than 55% of MPs vote to dissolve parliament.

However, the fact that Lord Adonis (the unelected mouthpiece of last days of the dying Labour administration) is so vocally against the idea makes me not yet too hot under the collar over it.

A dead parliament that is forced to continue on life support until the end of a fixed term is of no use to man nor beast, and indeed can be very dangerous.

We shall see.

Prats of The Week - The NHS West Midlands Strategic Health Authority

Oooh Errr, it has been a long time since I have awarded one of my prestigious and internationally renowned "Prats of The Week" Awards.

Therefore I will not beat about the bush any longer.

This week I am happy to award it to the NHS West Midlands Strategic Health Authority, for their remarkably wasteful and inept staff survey circulated to 3,300 workers at the West Midlands Ambulance Service.

Staff surveys are known for asking somewhat inept and "odd" questions. However, one question in this survey left everyone with rather an unpleasant taste in their mouths.

The theory behind the survey was to identify characteristics of good leadership, as part of a £10K project to allegedly help the NHS West Midlands Strategic Health Authority devise a new leadership strategy.

Why not just buy a book about leadership, for approx £10, and read it?

Anyhoo, amongst the questions about leadership was one that asked staff to rate how "cool" Adolf Hitler was, on a scale of one to five.

The ambulance employees were then asked to rate Hitler in comparison with their own chief executive.

They were also asked if being gay, funny or black made a leader cool.

Quite what "coolness" has to do with being a good leader I don't know?

Maybe the people who designed the survey were a tad muddled, and actually meant to ask how cool was Ron Mael (keyboard player of Sparks)?



Anyhoo well done the NHS West Midlands Strategic Health Authority, well deserving "Prats of The Week"!

A Wee Aside

Good morning everyone, as a brief aside before resuming Nanny business, may I acquaint you with one wee fact?

As we witness the dawning of a "new age" of British politics, where the Whigs and Tories (the world's longest established political parties) cosy up with each other (having spent centuries fighting each other).

Did you know that the last Liberal member of the Cabinet was Sir Archibald Sinclair, Secretary of State for Air?

He organised the bombing of Dresden.

Thought you would like to know that.

Advice To David Cameron

Sent to David Cameron this morning:

"David

For what it is worth, here is my view on the possibility of a Lib-Lab coalition.

Let them have their "coalition of losers".

Within six months, if that, it will fall apart as a result of unreasonable demands made by minority regional parties and the "swivel eyed" members of the Liberal party.

The public will see through this quickly enough as being nothing more than a mechanism to keep Brown in office as PM.

Once it has fallen apart, and an election held, the Tory party will gain the majority it needs to govern without having to go cap in hand to Clegg.

Kind regards

Ken Frost"

Here's Nanny!

Good morning loyal readers!

Doubtless many of you have been wondering where this site went to over the last couple of days, indeed I have received a number of worried emails from some of you expressing concerns about the site's unexpected disappearance from cyberspace.

Well, here we are again, I will now relate to you what happened.

Google's (the owner of Blogger) spam bots claimed that Nanny Knows Best was a spam blog and, believing in the principle of shooting first and asking questions later (instead of the more sensible reverse policy), disabled it and asked me to prove it wasn't spam.

Wouldn't it have been more sensible to ask me first if it was spam, and to say if I don't come back in 3 days or so they will then disable the site?

Having deactivated the site without any warning, I was told by Google that I would have to wait several days for them to reactivate it:

"Blogger's spam-prevention robots have detected that your blog has characteristics of a spam blog. (What is a spam blog?) Since you are an actual person reading this, your blog is probably not a spam blog. Automated spam detection is inherently fuzzy and we sincerely apologise for this false positive.

We received your unlock request on 09 May 2010. On behalf of the robots, we apologise for locking your non-spam blog. Please be patient while we take a look at your blog and verify that it is not spam."

I decided that being asked to wait for such a long period of time was not very satisfactory, given that this site has been going for many years and has a real human following etc. Therefore I enlisted your help and asked (via my other sites) for people to drop Google a note prodding them about this.

Oddly enough, for a leading 21st century web company, Google is rather hard to contact directly via email.

Nonetheless I found a number of access points:

press-uk@google.com

- Phone: +44 (0)20-7031-3000
- Fax: +44 (0)20-7031-3001

I also faxed the CEO (Eric Schmidt) in the USA (+1 650-253-0001) about it. Oddly enough, within an hour or so of faxing, the site reappeared as if by magic.

My heartfelt thanks to all of you who wrote in, and helped restore this site.

It is ironic that NKB was shut down, as it campaigns against censorship etc.

To add further irony to the story, my HMRC site (www.hmrcisshite.com) which is also on Google was also temporarily out of action on Sunday. However, it restored itself within a few hours.

However, what was really odd was that my gmail account (another Google product) was disabled by Google on Sunday. They asked me to email them my mobile phone number in order for them to send me a reactivation code.

Is Google trying to tell me something?

Once again many thanks for your support and help during this period of stupidity by Google.

Hello Young Lovers

Whilst Cameron and Clegg woo each other, and an angry Scotsman sits alone in his bunker, it should be remembered that an economic tsunami is heading our way.

This, if it is not addressed swiftly by national governments (btw we need to form one soon very quickly), will be far worse than the last banking crisis that was visited upon us.

Be warned the "perfect storm" of:

- PIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain) collapsing one by one
- The lack of a government in the UK
- The collapse in the Dow
- The blood sucking squid investigation
- Civil blood makes civil hands unclean (across Europe)

will bring the world's banking system to the very edge of freezing up (ie no cash in the cash machines).

Well Hung!

Well my loyal readers, it seems that we are facing a hung parliament.

Gordon Brown, despite being clearly the loser, will desperately cling on to power in Downing Street. Meanwhile the economy will collapse, and we face turning into a cold/damp climate version of Greece (see my views on what we should do with Greece on www.loanbuster.net).

Despite all the hooplah over "boy Clegg", the Liberal Democrats have managed to perform less well than they did in the last election. However, they appear to be under the illusion that they have the right to act as "king makers".

On the ground we saw clear evidence that 13 years of ZaNuLabour have turned us into a third world country, unable to even print enough ballot papers for people to vote with.

The final piece of icing on the cake is that whoever cobbles together some form of "government" will inevitably have to call another election before the end of the year.

Welcome to the third world!

Happy Election Day

Gradually recovering after a somewhat hectic schedule of meetings/events in Dalian and Beijing.

Re "will the site still be here if ZaNuLabour lose?"

Well of course it will!

Do you seriously think that the Tories or Liberals have any genuine intention on rolling back the frontiers of the state?

Once I am fully back in harness I have a few amusing tales to tell about BA (watch out for that soon on the BA site), and one homogeneously appalling tale of how Nat West (owned by RBS - the taxpayers' bank) has treated my bedridden 89 year old uncle.

They have behaved like total c*nts!

In the meantime there is much I need to catch up on.

Ken

Quel Surprise - Not!

How amusing I see that, despite denials that airport scanners would be misused, police recently warned an airport worker about a crude remark he made about a colleague's breasts as a newly-installed security scanner took a full body X-ray of her.

Seemingly Jo Margetson walked into an X-ray machine at Heathrow by mistake, whereupon the incident allegedly occurred.

She claimed that she is now "totally traumatised".

Can anyone tell me why the police were called in though?

Surely the employer could have handled this?

If Ms Margetson is really so "traumatised", she could undoubtedly sue the worker for the alleged damage done to her?

Why did the police need to become involved?

Top of The Censorship League

As I go about my busyness here in China, I am gemused to read that the British Government has made more requests for content to be removed from Google last year than any other country in Europe (according to Google).

Google recently reported that between July and December 2009 it received 1,166 data requests from British government agencies, of which 59 were requests for content to be removed.

Google complied with 76.3% of the removal requests.

Globally, Britain ranks third in terms of data requests; behind Brazil (3,663) and the United States (3,580). Figures for China, where Google faced heavy censorship until withdrawing earlier this year, are unavailable.

How ironic!
