Oh So Swedish Christmas Products

Off topic, here is a shameless plug for my partner's (Eva) Swedish arts and crafts website Oh So Swedish.

Eva has added some delightful Swedish Christmas products to her site, such as the "Ken Tomtenisse" (a hand made and unique Christmas decoration from Sweden, which looks great on a shelf or on your mantelpiece) above.

Why not pop over to her shop, browse around and add a little Swedish theme to your Christmas this year?

Thanks for reading.

Beware The German Juggernaut!

I suggest that loyal readers of this site pop over to my Finance site and read today's article about the German Juggernaut, it is relevant to those who wish to maintain some form of democracy in this country.

I trust and assume David Cameron understands what is at stake.

Nanny's Spy in The Cab

I am more than a little gobsmacked to learn that Oxford City Council has decreed that all of Oxford's 662 taxis must be fitted with microphones and CCTV cameras.

For why?

The council wants all conversations and images in the cab to be recorded, cameras etc will start automatically as soon as the ignition is fired and will continue up to 30 minutes after the engine is turned off.

Cabbies must keep recordings for a defined period of time afterwards.

This is a gross intrusion into personal privacy by the state.

As noted many times before on this site, councils are the enemies of the people.

Dying For a Fag

I see that the British Medical Association (BMA) has had an attack of "Dictateitus" and has come out with a bizarre decree that smoking should be banned in all cars, irrespective of whether there are passengers in them or not.

Seemingly the toxins from fags in cars are really very "dangerous".

Here's why this idea is bollocks:

1 It is up to the individual how they kill themselves (whether by smoking, drinking, eating, drugs, fornication, excess exercise etc etc), we all die in the end.

2 The ban would be unenforceable, given that fags are still legal.

3 If toxins from fags in cars are so dangerous, why is it the doctors do not call for a ban on cars (which spew out far worse toxins) as well?

4 The medical profession outstrips many others in its abuse of fags, drugs, booze etc; they are not in a position to dictate to the rest of us what we should do or how we live our lives.

Nanny Bans Herge

I see that one of Herge's Tintin books has fallen foul of the pc brigade.

Apparently publishers of "Tintin in the Congo", Egmont UK, want to shrink wrap the book and attach a warning to perspective purchasers about its content.

For why?

In the view of the publishers there are certain scenes within the book (reworked in 1946) that are racist, and they feel that some readers may be offended.

The warning reads:

"In his portrayal of the Belgian Congo, the young Hergé reflects the colonial attitudes of the time.

He depicted the African people according to the bourgeois, paternalistic stereotypes of the period – an interpretation that some of today’s readers may find offensive."

It seems to me that so long as it is clear that the book was written at a time when attitudes where very different, then instead of "placing it off limits" in this way it would actually serve as an excellent educational tool for demonstrating how society has progressed.

Additionally, by making it "top shelf" material it will make it highly attractive to certain people for all the wrong reasons.

"In Germany they came first for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
The they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time no one was left to speak up."

Martin Niemoeller

"The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible

reductions. In this way the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed."
