Irony Klaxon - Bags For Life Increase Plastic Usage


Oh dear, it seems that whilst sales of "bags for life" rose to 1.5bn last year the amount of plastic used by supermarkets also increased to 900,000 tonnes.

It seems that people regard "for life" as meaning disposable.

Nanny Bans Bollocks


Two anti-Brexit campaigners claim they were pulled over on to the hard shoulder of the M25 and told by police to remove a slogan from their car.

Passenger Peter Cook said the officer was "extremely aggressive" towards them over the phrase "bollocks to Brexit".

The BBC quotes Mr Cook:
"He said it [the slogan] was a public order offence, he insisted we remove the signage on the hard shoulder of the M25."
Essex Police said the force was trying to establish what happened.

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't ex Speaker Bercow drive around with a similar phrase on his car?

Students Favour Conformity Over Free Speech


The Times reports that fewer than half of students consistently support freedom of speech and two fifths favour censorship and no-platforming of controversial speakers, research has shown.

A “culture of conformity” may also be having an effect on undergraduates, who are often too intimidated to espouse unpopular views on campus, according to a report by the think tank Policy Exchange.

It is disheartening, to say the least, that those who are at university favour closing their minds to ideas that they consider "controversial".

The report recommends that Universities should:

1. Adopt an academic freedom commitment, such as the Chicago Principles, that clearly states that ‘debate or deliberation may not be suppressed because the ideas put forth are thought by some or even most members of the University community to be offensive, unwise, immoral, or wrong-headed’.

2. Appoint an Academic Freedom Champion (AFC), reporting directly to the Vice-Chancellor, with the power to investigate complaints of political discrimination across the Higher Education Institution (HEI), and to recommend actions as appropriate.

A closed mind sees nothing!

Nanny Bans "It"


Commiserations to the pupils at Rudyard Kipling Primary School, Woodingdean, were reportedly told they could no longer touch each other while playing at break time.

It has left children feeling “bored” at break times, while some parents say it will turn their children into “snowflakes” because they are being mollycoddled.

The Argus reports that a letter sent home to parents by the headteacher Joanne Smith said it follows concerns about “play fighting and rough play” that were “causing some children to get upset”.

She said games such as “it” and “team it” had “escalated” and said a new “gentle hands” rule was in place at the school.

It included teaching children “lots of new games” that follow the gentle rule.

Whilst Mrs Smith has told parents it does not mean children cannot touch each other, parents say their children were told not to touch one another.


A letter from Mrs Smith to parents states:
To clarify, ‘Gentle Hands’ does not mean ‘no touching’. The children are of course allowed to hold hands or play clapping games with a friend should they wish to.

Gentle Hands simply means playing games outside that do not need to be physical.

This will ensure the playground is a happy, safe and calm place where everyone can enjoy their lunchtime running around and getting the exercise we know is important to them.”
I take it rugby etc is banned at this school?

A non scientific observation/query raises its head, as schools seek to cover kids in cotton wool and ban contact sports, "it" etc how is it that the levels of street violence appears to be escalating?

Could it be that by banning these games Nanny is breeding a generation of kids/teens who can't cope with reality, or control their emotions, and resort to hysterical violence when reality bites?

Safety Advice For Guy Fawkes


As loyal readers know, this site does not normally dispense safety advice.

However, as it is Guy Fawkes, I would like to suggest to those of you intending to have some fireworks tonight to use the traditional bottle or tube launching pad for your rockets not your arse!

The above photo is apparently genuine, and has given rise to the Royal Society for The Prevention of Accidents warning:
"It doesn’t take a bright spark to know that fireworks are not to be toyed with."
