Fruit Juices Cause Cancer...Except They Don't!

In a veritable media splurge, lead by the Mail, hapless fruit juice drinkers (remember folks fruit juice is part of Nanny's Five a Day!) have been confronted with lurid headlines telling them that fruit juice will give them cancer.

All very frightening and worrisome, until that is you bother to check what the actual risk of getting caner is..according to the BMJ it is 1.12%!

Nanny and her lickspittles in the media do themselves no favours by this nonsensical and idiotic scaremongering!

Salt More Dangerous Than Smoking

An analysis, in the Lancet, found that our daily diet is a bigger killer than smoking and is now involved in one in five deaths around the world.

Salt - whether in bread, soy sauce or processed meals - shortened the highest number of lives.

The Global Burden of Disease Study noted that too much salt resulted in three million deaths.

Maybe people should simply drink more water and exercise to build up a sweat, in order to naturally excrete any "excess" salt?

Nanny won't be happy until we are all eating dust!

Nanny To Install Speed Limiters On All New Cars

Euro Nanny has decreed that all new cars sold in the UK and Europe are to be fitted with devices to automatically stop drivers from exceeding the speed limit under sweeping changes to vehicle safety rules provisionally agreed by the EU.

Although Britain may no longer be part of the EU when the rules come into effect, the UK regulator, the Vehicle Certification Agency, has said it will mirror safety standards for vehicles in the UK. Remind me again, why did we want to leave the EU?

Let us trust and assume that there are no software glitches/hacks that cause "unforeseen" problems!

We Are All Doomed!

People Drink More In Cold, Dark, Wet Countries - Who'd Have Thought It!

A study, published in the journal Hepatology, examined average temperatures and annual sunshine hours with alcohol consumption per capita in 193 countries.

Guess what?


It found that the level of binge drinking and the total number of drinkers went up in countries with lower temperatures and less sunshine hours.

Dr. Ramon Bataller, one of the authors of the study, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

“Everybody assumed this, but nobody has demonstrated it.

The findings show us that in order to prevent alcohol abuse, resources should be focused more in cold places. People with a genetic predisposition to alcoholism should maybe avoid living in a very cold place as they will probably drink more.” 

So there you have it folks, Nanny will not only start lecturing those who live in miserable climates to drink less (thus making us even more miserable) but also try to persuade those she determines to be "high risk" to move.

Nanny Bans Freakshakes

Oh dear I see another unelected group of busybodies, with too much time on their hands, has got their collective knickers in a twist over what some people choose to eat.

Step forward Action on Sugar, which is demanding a ban on freakshakes and all milkshakes with more than 300 calories. 

According to these tossers, the freakshakes contain "grotesque levels of sugar and calories".


The Toby Carvery Unicorn Freakshake came top of the survey with 39 teaspoons of sugar or 1,280 calories. The Toby Carvery Unicorn Freakshake is made with grape and raspberry flavoured ice cream, blackcurrant jelly pieces, milk, freshly whipped cream and topped with marshmallow, skittles and almond macaroon.

Here's my humble musings on this subject:

1 I don't have a sweet tooth, as such I don't usually eat desserts let alone milkshakes etc.

2 I wouldn't be seen dead eating this shit.

3 Irrespective of my personal food tastes, it is not my business to tell others what they may or may not eat. People can eat all the shit they like, so long as I am not forced to eat it.

4 It is not the role of the government, or unelected tossers, to dictate to us what we may/may not eat.

5 What is it, and this is a genuine question, that drives certain people to set up "action groups" whose sole purpose is to focus on one specific food/drink etc (eg sugar, salt) with a view to banning it? Why do these people feel they must dictate to the rest of us what we may or may not choose to eat?

Please feel free to answer point 5, as I really can't understand these tossers.

BMI Is Bollocks!

Excessively high or low body mass index measurements have been linked to an increased risk of dying from nearly every major cause except transport accidents, new research says.

The study, published Wednesday in The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology and conducted by scientists at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, revealed that BMI that's either too high or too low is tied to increased morbidity from a range of major diseases. 

 

Whilst it is no doubt true that if you are obese or anorexic you may well not be in the best of health, to use BMI as a measure of obesity or anorexia is bollocks.

 

There are far better ways to determine if someone is obese/anorexic eg:

 

- commonsense

- gut size

- bones poking through the skin etc

 

Relying on BMI will lead to false results!

Nanny Bans Dangerous Dahlias

Nanny has donned her jackboots again and have ordered a couple to remove a bed of dahlias from in front of their house because they are a ‘danger’ to drivers.

Brian and Sally Williams have been tending to the dahlias and shrubs on the narrow Hollin House Lane in Loxley, near Sheffield, for the last 28 years. They originally planted the blooms to encourage wildlife and bring colour to the area.

However, Sheffield council have sent them a letter telling them they have just a week to remove them or pay for it to be done by the authority. P

The couple’s daughter, Elizabeth Williams, said they were ‘absolutely devastated’ and that the flowers had been the only thing that helped her father through ill health.

Sheffield council told the BBC:

”We have sympathy with the nearby homeowner who has attempted to stop cars driving over the highway verge on what is a very narrow, single-track lane. 

Unfortunately the placing of flower beds, as well as stones and water barrels, on the highway outside the property, could be a danger to other road users."

Why take action now, after 28 years?

One single anonymous complaint!

The Metro reports that neighbours have set up a petition to get the council to change their mind and it already has more than 3,000 signatures.

Childrens' Remembrance Parade Ditched, Lest They Be Cold and Hungry

Saltash's annual Remembrance Day Parade has hit some turbulence after the mayor decided to stop it lest the children taking part were cold and hungry.

Councillor John Brady (ironically an ex serviceman) said there was already plenty happening to honour the military on the day already, and noted that the service had had been timed for 2pm to accommodate youngsters taking part in a planned pebble laying event commemorating the First World War earlier in the day.

Cllr Brady said any parade would have had to be squeezed in late afternoon - which wouldn't have been fair on families and asked why a parade had not been planned, he is quoted by the Telegraph:

"Lots of events are going on during the day.

We have to take into consideration the children that will be out for most of the day there will be lots of children around it could be a very long and cold day."

Why not simply schedule the parade for the morning, and ditch the pebble laying?

Nanny's Boozing Bollocks

As loyal readers know, Nanny has being doing her best to vilify alcohol and those who drink it. This is kind of ironic given how much booze politicians, health professionals and the "socialist pretending" middle classes put away!

Anyhoo, the ONS has published a report on the boozing habits of adults in the UK in 2017:

• In Great Britain, 57.0% of Opinions and Lifestyle Survey respondents aged 16 years and over in 2017 drank alcohol, which equates to 29.2 million people in the population.
• Young people aged 16 to 24 years in Great Britain are less likely to drink than any other age group; when they do drink, consumption on their heaviest drinking day tends to be higher than other ages.
• 20.4% of survey respondents reported that they did not drink alcohol at all.

Disregarding the fact that people's memories and responses are highly "suspect", when it comes to surveys such as this, it is noteworthy to see that the percentage of  16-24 years olds who claim to be teetotal has risen from 19% in 2005 to 22.8% in 2017.

Needless to say Nanny and her tame media are quick to ignore this:

1 Nanny keeps banging on about increasing the number of "nudge" campaigns and health awareness projects targeting young drinkers.

2 The Times happily reports that a "third of under 25s now drink now alcohol (22.8% is not a third!).

In other words, whatever the reality, Nanny and her lackeys will continue to force her narrative and poisonous views down our throats!

Nanny's Alcohol Free Days Narking Campaign

Nanny is nagging middle-aged drinkers to have more alcohol-free days a week in a bid to cut its related health risks.

Public Health England (PHE) and the Drinkaware Trust, the alcohol awareness charity, will today unveil Drink Free Days, a new joint campaign to help people reduce the amount of alcohol they are regularly drinking.

Duncan Selbie, the chief executive of PHE is quoted by the Guardian:

“Many of us enjoy a drink– but whether it’s a few in the pub after work a couple of times a week, some beers on the sofa watching the football or regular wine with our dinner – it’s all too easy to let our drinking creep up on us.

Setting yourself a target of having more drink free days every week is an easy way to drink less and reduce the risks to your health.”

Selbie then, without any hint of irony, said that “narking at people” about what they may be doing wrong was futile!

"What is the point in being at some distance in people’s lives and just telling them they are doing everything wrong? But if we can run towards them with something they find helpful, that’s got to be a good thing.”

Interestingly guidance issued by Dame Sally Davies, the chief medical officer, advises that men and women should not drink more than 14 units of alcohol per week, which amounts to six 175ml glasses of wine.

Errmmm...was not the advice 14 for woman and 21 for men?

I see Nanny is moving the goalposts as usual.

Now then, in the event that you follow Nanny's orders what will be the outcome?

You will live no more than 2 extra years, but feel miserable and bored!

Not worth the effort is it?

Nanny's Heart Age Test - It's Bollocks!

I see that Nanny and her state broadcaster are heavily pushing her heart age test (that predicts how long you will live without having a heart attack, and gives your heart its own age).

To amuse myself I took the test, and was told that my heart is 3 years older than my real age and that I will live until 79 without having a stroke or heart attack.

All very gemusing, except for the following points:

1 It asked me if I know my blood pressure, I don't (therefore how can the test be valid?).

2 It asked me if I know my cholesterol, I don't (ditto point above about validity!).

3 It informed me that my BMI is 1.1 points above "normal" and, as such, I am overweight. As we all know BMI is bollocks, I work out with weights etc on a regular basis; as such my muscle mass is higher than "average".

4 It offered me the choice of seeing what would happen if I "lost weight"..guess what..nothing at all!

The test is bollocks, in short, as I don't know my cholesterol nor my blood pressure it still tells me to reduce them; and even when I did on the test I came out with only one extra year of not having a heart attack.

A farking joke!

Those of you who wish to have a laugh, here is the link to the test.

There Is No Such Thing As "Safe/Risk Free"

There is no safe level of alcohol consumption. There are no safe means of transport. There are no safe people. Sit inside, wrapped in a blanket, all alone and praying to God that you can cook your boiled vegetables without scalding yourself.

Booze Prevents Dementia

It seems that abstaining from alcohol in middle age may increase the risk of dementia in later life, according to a new study published in the BMJ.

Analysis of more than 9,000 people found those who never touched a drop were around 50 per cent more likely to develop the degenerative condition compared to those who drink moderately.

These results challenge  Nanny's NHS advice, which recommends going teetotal to reduce dementia risk.

As a small caveat, whilst Nanny and her acolytes will still go on about the dangers of booze, I wonder if anyone has thought to consider that it may not be the booze that is dangerous but the chemicals in some of the drinks and mixers that people throw down their gullets these days?

Just a thought...

You Can't Legislate Against Stupidity

Three graffiti artists were killed yesterday by a freight train on tracks in south-west London.

British Transport Police (BTP) found the bodies of three men believed to be in their 20s after being called at 7.34am on Monday, when a train driver noticed them on tracks between Brixton and Loughborough Junction stations. Spray cans were found close by and officers were seen photographing graffiti as part of their inquiries.

A BTP spokesman said the force was trying to trace the train that hit the men and it was not clear what time the incident happened. Rail industry sources told the Guardian that the incident occurred at about 5am, before passenger services were running in the area. They believed the victims may have been caught in the slipstream of a passing empty train.

Who would have thought that arsing around near rail tracks would increase the risk of being hit by a train?

Nanny Bans England Flags On Royal Mail Vans

The Royal Mail has banned postal workers from flying flags on their delivery vehicles during the World Cup.

Postal chiefs said flags could distract drivers or “pose a potential hazard to other road users” if they came loose, and that the decision was made to uphold the company’s duty of care to employees and the public.

I wonder how it was Postman Pat was allowed to drive a van with a cat companion?

Anyhoo, about 125,000 delivery staff across 1,400 depots nationwide will be affected by the ban. However, 25,000 backroom staff will be allowed to display flags in offices.

All in all, whether this is "'elf and safety gone mad" or not, it is academic as England will probably crash out of the World Cup soon enough!
