Oh dear it seems that Nanny's fetish for reducing road speeds (for our own protection) has made the roads more dangerous.
Bath and North East Somerset Council spent £871,000 bringing in the 13 new speed zones just 12 months ago.
One year on, a report has found that the rate of people killed or seriously injured has gone up in seven out of the 13 new 20mph zones.
The review of the traffic control measures warns that this is a
problem nationally. As per The Telegraph:
"There is no simple explanation for this
adverse trend but it could be that local people perceive the area to be
safer due to the presence of the 20mph restrictions and thus are less
diligent when walking and crossing roads, cycling or otherwise
travelling."

Despite the council's own report concluding that there is "little in
the way of persuasive argument for continuing the programme in the
future", deputy leader Patrick Anketell-Jones has admitted there simply
isn't the money available to reverse the 20mph zones.
"It has cost over £800,000 to roll
out the 20mph zone and it would probably cost the same to reverse them.
We just haven't got the money. I'm pretty sure the 20mph zones will stay in place for the foreseeable future."
Money wasted on a scheme that in fact harms Nanny's citizens!

There is no "cultural upheaval" driven by youth, there is widespread dissatisfaction with the "quality" and "competency" of our politicians from all parties. Hence the fact Labour lost the election, despite what the "youthquake cheerleaders" from the media and Labour would have us believe!

Now that Christmas is almost upon us, and our sideboards etc are groaning under the weight of nuts, booze, figs and other things let us not forget those who choose to be offended by panto.
Despite the fact that panto has always been a tad risque, what with double entendres and women dressing as men and men as women, some people still manage to be surprised at being offended by what they see.
Such is the case for a production of Dick Whittington starring John Barrowman and the Krankies at the Manchester Opera House. Seemingly the gestures, repeated references to "Dick" and other issues offended panto goer Natalie Wood. A full report can be found in the Manchester Evening News.
Suffice to say calls to ban the panto will be ignored.
Those of you who are easily offended should probably not go to the panto, lest you take offence at Dick's wit.

As ever, Nanny and her media act with utter hysteria when rain and snow descend upon our septic isles.
Who would have thought that it would snow in winter?
Needless to say we are being smothered in an avalanche of "amber warnings" and tedious advice about not getting cold etc etc. It also goes without saying that transport services have all but collapsed in some parts of the country.
I would also note, with a hat tip to the muse irony, that an illuminated snowman that I had ordered for delivery today has (so I am informed by the supplier) been delayed because of snow!

"Being called a "snowflake" is damaging to mental health, young people

own.

Oh dear, those of you who like golden brown crisps and biscuits are in for a disappointment.
Nanny will ban golden brown biscuits and crisps, as from next April.
For why?
Nanny's new rules force manufacturers to reduce acrylamide, a chemical found in burnt food
which may lead to a higher risk of cancer.
The Telegraph quotes industry figures who said the products would now be baked at lower
temperatures for longer, meaning they would lose their colour but not
their crunch.
How absurd!
Fear not, it's not all bad, the salt and sugar (that Nanny also hates) in these products will remain!

Despite an all pervasive Nanny state, that lectures from dawn til dusk about our health, lifestyles, eating, drinking etc it seems we are not actually getting any healthier.
In fact, in certain areas, we appear to be reverting to Victorian levels of health.
It transpires that the UK is in the grip of a Scarlet Fever outbreak. As per ZeroHedge scarlet fever cases are now at 50-year-high sparking concerns
for researchers, as they are baffled as to how “Victorian-era” diseases
are making a comeback.
Scarlet fever hit its highest level in England for 50 years, with more than 17,000 cases reported in 2016 according to research in the Lancet. The
infection is most common in children under the age of 10 and although
highly contagious (being spread easily with a cough) is easily cured
with a round of antibiotics. But that, in and of itself, raises concerns of the disease becoming resistant to antibiotics, creating a global pandemic.
Doctors are urging the public to be aware of symptoms, which include a rosy rash, and seek help from their doctor.
Data for 2017 suggests the rate of infection may be falling, but
experts remain cautious, saying it is “too early to tell.” Normally,
first world nations have a better chance of handling an outbreak such as
this, but England is on the verge of losing control over this scarlet fever outbreak.
“We are concerned – it’s quite a dramatic rise,” said Dr. Theresa Lamagni, head of streptococcal surveillance at Public Health England, who led the study.
Well then, instead of advancing we appear to be heading back to the good old days!

As expected, the media hysteria over the alleged behaviour of certain celebrities and politicians has had a knock on effect in the real world.
Sarah Hall, from Northumberland Park, has decided that the fairytale Sleeping Beauty promotes unacceptable behaviour which shouldn’t be read to young children.
She is of the view that it teaches children that it is ok to kiss a woman while she’s asleep, which she says is not acceptable.
ChronicleLive reports that she left a comment in her
son’s record book, and contacted his school to ask if books featuring it
could be taken out of circulation for younger classes.
She said:
“In today’s society, it isn’t appropriate - my son is only six, he
absorbs everything he sees, and it isn’t as if I can turn it into a
constructive conversation.
“I don’t think taking Sleeping Beauty books out of
circulation completely would be right. I actually think it would be a
great resource for older children, you could have a conversation around
it, you could talk about consent, and how the Princess might feel.
But
I’m really concerned about it for younger children, would really
welcome a conversation about whether this is suitable material."
She said:
“I think it’s a specific issue in the Sleeping Beauty story about sexual behaviour and consent.
It’s about saying is this still relevant, is it appropriate?”
All very well except, as with everything in life, deeds and words must be taken and judged in context. The kiss is in no manner or means portrayed in the fairytale as being sexual; ie it is clearly not an assault.
Kate Edwards, chief executive of Seven Stories, the
national centre for children's books , argued stories like Sleeping
Beauty have an important cultural and traditional role to play, and
shouldn't be lost - but they can be 'played with'.
"The fairytale tradition is rooted in moral instruction, telling children what's right and wrong.
Of
course, the cultural context and moral have changed hugely, so it's
important that children are given cultural context - but you can do that
without losing these stories.
We would always want to explore that story and its cultural relevance and rights and wrongs, as well as playing with it a bit.
Children have a strong sense of right and wrong, and talking about stories is a good way to access that.
We
would also point to a lot of retellings of Sleeping Beauty, like The
Worst Princess, which keep elements of the story but with a very
empowered princess."
What about stories such as Little Red Riding Hood?
Surely being chased by a ravenous wolf is far more threatening?
More to the point, surely the attempted poisoning of Sleeping Beauty by the evil queen is not acceptable either?

The journal BMJ Open has published the results of a study that came to the stunning conclusion that different types of alcoholic drink change and shape your mood in different ways.
Spirits may make you feel angry, sexy or tearful, while red wine or beer may make you feel relaxed.
Nearly 30,000 people aged 18-34 from 21 different countries were questioned for the study.

My sympathies to the good people of Scotland, who are lumbered with Nanny's minimum pricing for alcohol.
This will not have any beneficial effect whatsoever, as people who drink 4 cans of beer for a £1 (Nanny's target) will stump up the new price of £4 for 4 and simply cut down on their other expenditure eg food, heating etc.

Auntie dragged herself down to new depths last night, by making her lead news item the fact that the Queen has £10M in an offshore vehicle of some sort or another.
Aside from the fact that in terms of this country's finances £10M is chicken feed, Auntie then went on to say that the Queen has in fact done nothing wrong and that as she is not legally required to pay tax she therefore cannot be accused of trying to avoid tax (which by the way is perfectly legal for rich and poor alike).
Are there really so few genuine issues, both domestically and globally, that Auntie is reduced to this form of shit show?

"Supermarket price promotions on junk food are to be
restricted and restaurant meal sizes could be capped under controversial
plans unveiled by SNP ministers to tackle Scotland’s obesity epidemic.
A new Scottish Government diet and obesity strategy,
published for consultation, said ministers are “minded” to clamp down on
promotions on food that is high in fat, salt and sugar.
This could include a ban on multi-buy offers on products
such as crisps and sweets, or shops temporarily discounting their price
in order to increase sales.
Among the other controversial proposals are introducing
portion limits on the size of takeaway, pub and restaurant meals. Food
outlets would be forced to attach labels on menus and packaging
disclosing how many calories their dishes contain."
Nanny can fark off, it is not her role to dictate how much or little we eat; neither is it her role to tell us we are fat!

Well then I see that the aged, syphilitic, dictator Mugabe had something of an eventful weekend.
Appointed by WHO (the organisation that blames hot drinks for cancer) as their goodwill ambassador on Friday, only to be sacked on Sunday after howls of protest from around the world.
Quite how WHO makes their decisions is beyond me, but if they are as crap at health care as they are at appointing people then the world is well and truly farked!

I see that Nanny's chums in the NHS Hertfordshire have decided that fat people and smokers do not warrant the same level of care that others receive.
The Telegraph reports that new rules, drawn up by clinical commissioning groups
(CCGs) in Hertfordshire, say that obese patients “will not get
non-urgent surgery until they reduce their weight” at all, unless the
circumstances are exceptional.
The criteria also mean smokers will only be referred for
operations if they have stopped smoking for at least eight weeks, with
such patients breathalysed before referral.
East and North Hertfordshire CCG and Herts Valleys said the
plans aimed to encourage people “to take more responsibility for their
own health and wellbeing, wherever possible, freeing up limited NHS
resources for priority treatment”.
All very well and good, maybe. However, who is next on the list of second class citizens:
- people who eat "too much" fat, salt and sugar?
- people who drink?
- people who take drugs?
- people who don't follow Nanny's exercise programme?
- people who don't use protection during sex?
