Nanny Bans Whooping

I appreciate that some students do not have the brains that they were allegedly gifted with. However, even this piece of student fuckwittery has surprised me.

The Telegraph reports that students who whoop, cheer and clap should face “consequences” because they are excluding deaf people, delegates at the National Union of Students conference said.

Audience members were repeatedly warned that they must cease whooping to express support for a speaker, because it has a “serious impact” on the accessibility of the conference.

Delegates at the NUS annual conference in Brighton were encouraged to use “jazz hands” instead of clapping - where students wave their hands in the air - as this is deemed a more inclusive form of expression.

Estelle Hart, an NUS elections committee member who was chairing a session on Thursday, told students: “No whooping, it does have a serious impact on some delegates ability to access conference.”

For good measure Shelly Asquith, the NUS vice president for welfare, returned to the theme, telling delegates: “We’ve had a number of requests that people stop whooping”.

The Durham University student union proposed a motion at the conference that would see clapping and whooping banned at all future NUS events.

Two points:

1 Surely talking/speaking also "excludes" deaf people. Shall we ban that as well?

2 Jazz hands cannot be seen by the visually impaired, that should be banned too.

God help us is this is the quality of the generation destined to takeover in the coming years!

Eat More Cheese

Contrary to Nanny's current advice, and reminiscent of her advice some decades ago, it is now deemed good for you to eat more cheese.

The Telegraph reports that eating cheese could stop you from developing liver cancer and boost liver health, according to new research.

The study, from Texas A&M University, found that aged cheeses such as brie and cheddar have the potential of boosting life expectancy by up to 25 per cent.

This is because these cheeses contain a compound called 'spermidine', though to prevent liver fibrosis and 'hepatocellular carcinoma', the most common type of liver cancer.

I dare say in a few years time, scientists will discover that smoking is in fact good for you (as they believed in the 17th century).

Cheesus!

Nanny's Genital Inspectors

UKIP has said schools should check girls from ‘high risk’ groups once a year and after they have been on holiday.

The party wrote in their Integration Agenda:

"Implement school-based medical checks on girls from groups at high risk of suffering FGM. These should take place annually and whenever they return from trips overseas."

FFS!

Such "inspections" would constitute abuse!

Happy Speeding Fine Day!

Happy speeding fine day folks!

The BBC reports that today speeding fines have gone up.

Under new guidelines, fines for drivers caught doing 51mph in a 30mph zone or 101mph on a motorway will start from 150% of weekly income, rather than the previous level of 100%.
The Sentencing Council said it wanted a "clear increase in penalty" as the seriousness of offending increases.

The new Band C fines will allow the worst offenders to face fines of between 125 and 175% of their weekly income - with the starting point for magistrates in most cases set at 150%.

The maximum fine, however, remains the same, meaning a speeding driver cannot be fined more than £1,000 unless the offence takes place on a motorway, where the limit is £2,500.

A nice little earner for Nanny!

Coming Soon - A Meat Tax!

According to some person writing in the Guardian:

"..the challenge is to persuade people in wealthy countries to eat less meat. That might seem a tall order, but governments have successfully persuaded people to quit smoking through a combination of public information, regulation and taxation."

Factoid alert, people still smoke!

Seemingly the rates should be 40% on beef and 8.5% on chicken according to one group of meat tax warriors, but another wants 40% on chicken and 28% on beef!

You couldn't make this up!

FFS, can't these people just crawl back to where they came from, and leave the rest of us in peace?

Meat Free Mondays at The BBC

My sympathy to Auntie's staff in Salford who have been recently banned from eating meat in the staff canteen on Mondays.

The Mail recently reported that BBC employees are fuming after their staff canteen banned meat from its menu on Mondays - with workers accusing the corporation of 'forcing its agenda' on them.

An internal message revealed 'meat free Mondays' will be introduced at the BBC North staff restaurant in Quay House in MediaCity, Salford.

The intranet memo says the change has been introduced for environmental and health reasons.

Ridiculous!

Cars Are Murder Machines

My sympathies to the good people of Sweden (a country I once happily lived and worked in for a number of years) for the recent terror attack.

Whilst I appreciate that security and accessibility etc need to be addressed after such incidents, I am somewhat disturbed by the reaction from reputable columnist, Eva Franchell, writing for a large Swedish newspaper, Aftonbladet.

ZeroHedge have provided a summary of what she wrote:

"she calls “effective murder machines” — that Franchell says “must simply be removed from city centres and places where people gather, if people are to be protected in future”.

Vehicles are “easy to steal, and so nothing has been able to stop their advance”.

I concur that some action should be taken to reduce the risk in certain areas of similar attacks, eg anti ramming bollards protecting pedestrian only areas. I also am in favour of parts of cities being made pedestrian only, if nothing else it would reduce the noise and pollution and make city centres more pleasant areas to be in.

However, an all out ban simply isn't practical.

Meanwhile Karolina Skog, a Swedish politician who has been Minister for the Environment since 25 May 2016, went overboard:

“Cars are driven largely by men so by giving a lot of space to cars; we’re giving a lot of space to men — at the expense of women,”

Yes we need to review security arrangements, but hysterical responses such as this do no one any favours!

A Dignified Death

The Guardian reports that a man has been granted his dying wish of a cigarette and a glass of white wine by staff at a hospital in Denmark.

According to a post on the hospital’s Facebook page, Carsten Flemming Hansen, 75, was found to be terminally ill after he was admitted to hospital with an aortic aneurysm and internal bleeding.
Predicting it would be a matter of hours or days before Hansen died, the hospital decided not to operate and instead granted the patient a “dignified” death.

The nurses at Aarhus University hospital decided to defy regulations that stipulated no smoking on the hospital’s grounds and wheeled Hansen out on to a balcony where he smoked a Green LA cigarette and drank a glass of cold white wine while watching the sunset with his family.

In its Facebook post, the hospital said the nurses in Hansen’s ward and his family agreed that in this situation, his last wishes were more important than treatment, prevention and smoking rules.

I wonder if British Nanny would do the same?

Posh Crisps Cause Cancer

Seemingly posh crisps could cause cause cancer, a study by government-backed scientists has found, as they contain high levels of acrylamide, a known carcinogen.

The Telegraph reports that tests conducted by Fera Science on behalf of campaign group Changing Markets, found t he highest levels of the chemical were found in Tyrells "Sweet Potato Lightly Salted" crisps, which contained more than three times the recommended amount, according to European food standards.

According to EU benchmarks crisps should not contain more than 750 milligrams per kilogram of acrylamide. Despite this Tyrells "Sweet Potato Lightly Salted" crisps contain 2486 milligrams per kilogram.

The research also found Morrisons' "Cheese and Onion Popped Potato Snacks" and Aldi's premium brand "Passions Barbeque Flavour Popped Potato Chips" contained twice as much acrylamide than the recommended level.

Given we are leaving the EU, we can safely ignore their health warnings.

Failing that, if you are worried, simply resort to eating cheap crisps.

Nanny Hates Cadbury's Great Easter Egg Hunt

Oh dear Nanny, Theresa May and Nanny's Church of England have got their collective knickers in a twist of Cadbury's Easter Egg hunt on National Trust properties.

Nanny is upset that the word "Easter" has been dropped from the event.

All very nice and twee, except that it hasn't been dropped. As you can see from the screen shots from Cadbury's website, the word "Easter" is mentioned several times even in the farking URL!

Maybe Nanny should get her facts right first, and focus on more pressing matters!

Oh, and by the way, eggs at Eater come from an Anglo Saxon legend which tells how the Saxon goddess Eostre found a wounded bird and transformed it into a hare, so that it could survive the Winter. The hare found it could lay eggs, so it decorated these each Spring and left them as offering to the goddess.

Easter was a pagan festival stolen by the christians!

Booze Helps The Heart

My thanks to a loyal reader who pointed me to an article in RT about the benefits of booze.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge and University College London analysed data from almost 2 million people in the UK, and found that those who do not drink at all, or who drink heavy doses, are more likely to be affected by seven types of heart condition – including strokes and heart attacks – than moderate drinkers.

A biological reason for the findings, which were published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), could be that alcohol reduces inflammation in people who drink moderately, while also boosting their ‘good’ cholesterol levels.

Drinks all round!
