The Dangers of Cabbage Stalks

The Dangers of Cabbage StalksFollowing on from yesterday's article about the Waste Gestapo in Norwich stomping their jackboots on an elderly man for putting a ketchup bottle in the wrong bin, it appears that they have a certain relish for stomping on the elderly and have done it again.

As retired milkman Barry Freezer (73) found to his cost recently, when he attempted to throw away some cabbage stalks in his bin.

Norwich City Gestapo refused to collect his waste and treated him like a criminal.

The binmen were following an edict of Nanny's that forbids food that may have come into contact with meat from being mixed with garden waste for composting, to prevent outbreaks of diseases such as foot and mouth.

For fark's sake!

Mr Freezer said:

"When did you last buy a cabbage with a stalk at a supermarket?

It should be obvious that this was garden waste that never came into contact with the kitchen.

I pay £35 a year on top of my council tax to have a garden waste bin and I am being treated like a criminal for following the rules.

No one told me exactly what I had done wrong so I moved the cabbage stalks into the household refuse bin, which was collected the following week. I then had to wait another week to see if they would collect the shrubbery clippings in my garden waste.

What am I supposed to do when my potatoes come? Sometimes the top is diseased and you shouldn't compost them.

I'll have to put them in the household bin but that won't be collected if it has garden waste.

The system is ridiculously complicated. People like me will be making 'mistakes' all the time.

I could burn my garden waste but it's not good for the environment
."

Mr Freezer's bin was "red tagged" as a punishment; normally two yellow warning tags are issued before a red tag, which is a final warning meaning rubbish won't be collected until it complies with the rules.

These ecofascists are the same "genetic spawn" as those who ban smoking, drinking, swimming, Mary Whitehouse wanabees etc.

They are sexually and socially inadequate individuals, with personality disorders, who get their rocks off by imposing their narrow views on the rest of us.

It is our fault for allowing Nu Labour to give these people the whip hand over us, and it is now time to wrest that whip back from them and to kick Nu Labour out of orifice.

Nanny Bans Ketchup - Again

Nanny Bans Ketchup - AgainNanny's concern for the environment, in theory, is highly laudable.

We have but one planet, and to "crap on our own doorstep" is neither pleasant nor wise for our future health and well being.

However, in life, there are no black and white issues merely shades of grey. These grey realities require sensible human beings to exercise commonsense and sound judgement, before imposing petty rules and regulations.

It is a well recognised trait of Nanny that she possesses neither commonsense, nor sound judgement. She sees the world in black and white, and seeks to impose her petty rules and regulations irrespective of reality.

This sad reality was vividly brought home to Lenny Woodward, a 95 year old former Desert Rat who now resides in Norwich, the other day.

His crime?

He placed a ketchup bottle and coffee jar in the wrong bin.

His punishment?

Norwich council refused to collect his rubbish.

Residents of Norwich, like many towns across Nanny's Britain, have to suffer under the yoke of rigid rules wrt refuse disposal; they have a blue wheelie bin for cans and cardboard, a green box for glass and a black bin for other waste.

Mr Woodward made the mistake of putting the ketchup bottle and a coffee jar in the blue bin, when they should have gone in the green box.

A crime against the state!...in Nanny's eyes anyway.

When Nanny's binmen inspected the blue bin (doesn't this sound rather like they are employed as council spies?), they refused to empty it and attached a tag to it warning him not to break the rules again.

Mr Woodward's daughter rang Norwich City Council to explain that he made a mistake based on uncertainty about the system, rather than evil malice. Unfortunately the council have adopted that well known excuse used by petty officials from earlier times:

"Rules have to be obeyed".

Errmm...if the rules are ridiculous, no they don't!

You know folks, when these scumbags in local councils start to talk to people like that there is only one course of action left; remind them very forcibly who is the master and who is the servant.

Mr Woodward said:

"I'm very sorry it happened. It's just I'm confused. I don't know which bin is which so I put the wrong things in the wrong bin.

They could have knocked on my door and spoken to me about it instead of putting a note on the bin saying they would not empty it.

It all seems very childish. I've never broken the law before. I haven't even had a parking fine or speeding ticket
."

Mr Woodward comes from a generation who fought against oppression and tyranny being imposed by tinpot corporals, that generation was brought up to respect genuine authority and the rule of law.

Regrettably, Nanny and her acolytes in local councils have destroyed people's respect for the rule of law and for authority. That is why social order is breaking down.

Tell Norwich council what you think of them.

Nanny Bans Tomato Ketchup

KetchupOh dear, Nanny really is keen to take the joy out of childhood.

The "little rascals" of Caister in Norfolk have been banned by police from buying ketchup (or is it catsup? What is the difference?)

It seems that some wee rascals have been spraying cars and houses with it. Nanny therefore has instructed shops not to sell squirty bottles to kids.

In the great scheme of things, is it such an evil act to squirt ketchup over things?

Wouldn't it be far worse if they were using spray paint, or shooting each other?

Sometimes a little bit of naughtiness needs to come out of the system.

Needless to say, Nanny has also banned egg sales in this town as well!

Let the kids behave like prats once in a while!

Nanny Bans Cornish Pasties

Nanny Bans Cornish PastiesDear oh dear, things must be getting pretty desperate in the nursery.

Even by Nanny's standards, she has scraped the proverbial barrel with this incursion into a harmless activity.

This time Nanny vented her spleen on poor old Dave Polley, who was driving his car and innocently munching on a Cornish pasty.

When he had munched all of the filling, he found that he was left with some of the crust.

Now I know that we should eat our crusts up as well; but Dave did what many of us are inclined to do, he lobbed the crust out of the window for the birds to eat.

Unfortunately for him, in the car behind him was an officious git from Penwith District Council who is one of their anti litter officers.

Can you guess what happened next?

Yes, that's right.

Instead of seeing reason, and using common sense, the "officious git" gave Mr Polley a ticket and fined him.

Rumour has it that Penwith District Council are now patrolling parks, looking to arrest people for feeding the ducks.

Common sense has long since flown out of the window.

Those of you who want to make one, and send it as a gift to Penwith District Council or simply eat it yourselves can try this recipe.

Cornish Pasties Recipe

Cornish Pasties originated in Cornwall as a handy way for miners to take their lunch to work.

Shortcrust pastry encases a mixture of finely chopped meat and vegetables.

Ingredients

10 oz flour
A pinch of salt
4 oz of cold butter
1 to 3 tablespoons of water

8 oz of cubed beef
2 potatoes
1 swede/turnip
1 medium onion
salt & pepper
2 tablespoons of fresh parsley
¼ teaspoon of mustard
2 teaspoons of tomato sauce / ketchup (optional)
1 egg

Short Pastry

In a large bowl or food processor sift the flour and salt, cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the flour.

Rub the butter into the flour with your hands or using the food processor, until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Make a well in the centre and add sufficient water to mix to a firm dough.

Handle as little as possible as this prevents the pastry from becoming hard when it is baked.

Roll into a ball, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Filling

Preheat oven to 200 degrees C.

Put the cubed meat into a large bowl.

Chop the onion finely, and add to the meat.

Peel the potatoes and swedturnipip, cut into very small cubes.

Mix thoroughly with the meat, add the seasonings (a little water may be added to moisten) and cover.

On a lightly floured bench or board roll the pastry out to around 1/8 inch thick.

Cut 6 rounds, using a 6 1/2 inch diameter plate as a guide.

Arrange the filling evenly in the centre of each round.

Lightly beat the egg and glaze the edge of each round with a pastry brush.

Lift the two opposite edges of the pastry and pull together over the filling.

Pinch at regular intervals along the edge to form a frill.

Brush each pasty with egg and place on a baking tray.

Bake for 3/4 to 1 hour.

Eat hot or cold.

Hot Doggedy Dog

Hot Doggedy DogYou know how Nanny has been lecturing us ad nauseam about the health risks, to us, of eating "junk food"?

Not one day goes by when Nanny, or one of her lackeys, doesn't come up with a new scare story; warning us that we will die a gruesome and grisly death, if we eat one more hamburger or leg of fried chicken.

Well, it seems that Nanny may have to change her message a little bit.

Scientists at the National Institutes of Health have found out that the sodium nitrite content of hot dogs may in fact be health beneficial. They have started infusing sodium nitrite into volunteers; in hopes that it could prove a cheap but potent treatment for sickle cell anemia, heart attacks, brain aneurysms, even an illness that suffocates babies.

These ailments all have something in common; namely that they are associated with low oxygen (now you know why Michael Jackson sleeps in an oxygen tent!), seemingly these problems can be eased by nitrite.

Nitrite is used by the food industry to preserve certain forms of processed meat, such as hot dogs.

It seems that hot dogs may in fact help you live longer!

Yah Boo to you Nanny!

I'll have mustard and ketchup on mine.
