Horsing Around

I have to admit even I, a man who has been writing about Nanny's daftness for a few years now, took an second look at this when I read it just to make sure I had not misread it.

Nanny and her chums in local councils have a nice little earner going for themselves wrt licences for playing music in public. These licences are required for all manner of public performances, ranging from full blown orchestras to pub sing alongs etc. However, Rosemary Greenway found out to her cost that it also applied to her.

For why?

She has been playing passages of opera and orchestral symphonies on the radio to her horses at the Malthouse Equestrian Centre in Bushton for more than 20 years, to help soothe them.

Can you guess what happened next dear readers?

Yes, that's right, Nanny in the guise of the Performing Right Society insists that she applies for (and of course pay for) a licence.

For why?

Because her stables employs more than two people it is treated in the same way as shops, bars and cafés.

Completely potty!

Anyhoo, rather than pay the fee she now leaves the radio off except on Sundays when she is alone.

Bin Brother - Re-Education Visits

Be warned, should you be foolish enough to dispose of the "wrong sort of rubbish", Nanny's bin police will pay you a home visit and re-educate you.

The bin police, hired by our "respected" local councils and paid for by us, are using microchips placed in 2 million bins to measure the volume of rubbish thrown away; and, in some cases, searching through the waste looking for plastic, glass or other items that should have been recycled instead.

Those who break Nanny's rules will be contacted in writing, re offences will see a council officer paying a home visit.

Bin chipping South Oxfordshire council, for example, has told householders to remove labels from jars and cans.

The council says don't worry though:

"It's not Big Brother. The new bins contain a microchip which has a serial number that relates to the address the bin belongs to.

This helps us track lost bins, as well as measuring the weight inside the bins to give us fast, accurate data and reports identifying if there are areas of the district recycling less, or throwing away more rubbish.

We will put a reminder on your bin if you get it wrong, and if you regularly have problems putting the wrong items in your bins, we will simply provide guidance and possibly come out to visit you.

We don't intend to use the micro-chipped bins to introduce rubbish charging based on the amount of rubbish households throw away. However the Government may introduce legislation forcing us to introduce such a scheme."

For good measure the council also recommends that people pay private companies to clean their bins.

Can someone remind me why we pay council tax?

All of this may be very well if, and it is a big IF, this seriously contributed in a positive and measurable way to the improvement of the environment and to people's well being.

However, it doesn't.

The reality is that large amounts of waste, that in theory is marked for recycling, is sold by the councils to rip off private companies who ship it to India to bury it next door to some unsuspecting villagers.

Hardly environmentally sound is it?

Nanny doesn't give a stuff, her real objective is to increase the tax burden so that she can employ more council busybodies to control our daily lives.

Another Day, Another Database

Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes Nanny ignores the fact that she "doesn't do IT" nor data security at all well, and has decided to create yet another database that will poke into the daily lives and communications of her subjects.

This time she intends to monitor the daily communications, and verbal diarrhea, of those who use social networking sites such as Faecesbook, Bimbo and MySpace etc.

Nanny wants to monitor messages sent via these sites, and add them to her planned database that will store information about every phone call, e-mail and internet visit made by everyone in the United Kingdom.

Aside from the so many obvious issues about such a database (eg privacy, security, civil liberties, cost etc) there is one blindingly obvious question:

Does anyone seriously think that Nanny is capable of building a system that is large enough, and efficient enough, to store all of this data?

Politicians don't do IT, and are seen as dimwitted "patsies" by the IT firms and rip off "consultants" who sell Nanny second rate "toot" that is well past is sell by date.

I seriously doubt that, even if Nanny ever did manage to build this behemoth (at great expense to us), the "terrorists" that she believes lurk under our beds would be quite so dimwitted to post messages that identify exactly what they are going to do on Faecesbook.

Nanny's Nasty Little Blame Game

Whilst it is fair to say that I regard those in the world of banking who have screwed up royally and brought us to the edge of financial ruin as complete knobheads, I would caution against laying the blame full square at their door for this mess.

Nanny and Broon were terribly chummy with these guys during years of plenty, sucking up to them on every possible occasion.

Additionally, as I have noted on www.loanbuster.net on numerous occasions, Nanny herself set up the tripartite regulatory system that has proven to be worse than worthless. Nanny also ensured that every spare penny that we had was spent during years of plenty, instead of keeping a decent sum in reserve for emergencies.

The result?

Financial meltdown!

It is therefore disturbing, to say the least, to see that Broon, Harman et al from ZaNuLabour are happily whipping up public anger (aided and abetted by a compliant and idiotic media) against the bankers.

Bankers, according to Nanny are solely to blame for this mess.

They are not!

The result of this firestorm of negative spin is the attack on Sir Fred Goodwin's house the other evening, by a bunch of criminals claiming to be anarchists.

Nanny should be aware that the last political party that whipped up public anger against bankers, blaming them (Jewish bankers to be precise) for all of societies ills, did so in the 1930's in Germany.

Broon and Harman, in their desperation to play to the gallery and to deflect public criticism of Labour's role in this mess, are emulating the Nazis of 1930's Germany.

The result of their nasty little blame game will be something that they may not be able to control.
