The 12 Point Anti Nanny Manifesto


In other words, don't stick your nose into other people's business; let people live their lives as they wish to, so long as they don't harm others.

Holidays Are Bad For You


Nanny's chums from Liverpool University have conducted a study which, in their eyes, proves that taking a fortnight's holiday is bad for you.

Apparently two weeks of enjoying yourself not only piles on the pounds and farks up your liver, but also causes a loss of muscle mass.

As per The Sun:
"Researchers asked 28 fit, young adults to cut activity levels by 80 per cent, from 10,000 daily steps to just 1,500. By the end of 14 days, they had lost a third of a kilogram of lean muscle and their waistlines had grown 1cm.

And when they took up their old exercise regime, they did not get back in shape within a fortnight."


Now fair enough 14 days of over indulging and lounging about will no doubt add a few pounds, and temporarily give your liver an extra "workout". However, will you lose muscle mass?

As with everything else, despite Nanny's desire to compartmentalise us, there is no one size fits all answer.

As per Livestrong:
"In the most drastic scenario, you can lose up to 80 percent of your fitness level in as few as two weeks if you’re new to exercise. If you are incredibly fit and have been training for years, you’ll hang onto your fitness level for about three months, ACE Fitness says. 

If you start retraining after a lull, however, your muscles will remember where you left off and build up more rapidly than if you were just starting a new program. 

The detraining period actually strengthens muscle fibers, which means your retraining can lead to a higher fitness level that you might have been able to achieve had you not taken a break, Columbia University says."
In other words Nanny, as usual, is scaremongering.

For why?

She wants us to cut back on holidays and work more, so that she can take her cut of our salaries.

Nanny's Nice Little Earner - The Litter Police

The BBC's Panorama has exposed one of Nanny's nice little earners, namely finin g people fro dropping litter.

A private company acting as the "litter police" for dozens of councils pays officers a bonus for issuing fines.

One officer from Kingdom Services, a leading enforcement company, claimed that his bonus one month was £987.

Other officers were filmed handing out £75 fines for tiny pieces of dropped orange peel and poured-away coffee.

Kingdom told Panorama that its competency allowance was not a paid incentive for officers to issue fines.

Councils are increasingly using private companies such as Kingdom, based in Cheshire, to enforce the Environmental Protection Act.

Kingdom currently has about 28 contracts with local authorities and last year saw its profits jump 30% to £9m.

Guess what?

The company frequently splits the proceeds of the fines with the councils!

Salt Helps You Lose Weight


Some research done on Russian cosmonauts wrt salt will greatly peeve Nanny.

New studies of Russian cosmonauts, held in isolation to simulate space travel, show that eating more salt made them less thirsty but somehow hungrier. Subsequent experiments found that mice burned more calories when they got more salt, eating 25 percent more just to maintain their weight.

What's going on?

It seems that a high salt intake causes the body to break down fat into water in order to flush the salt out, thus causing an increase in calories burned in order to break down the fat.

Well then!

Nanny will not like this at all!

Tax Sweets Too - The Rise of The Wowsers


Nanny's chums from the charity Action on Sugar are of the view that the the sugar tax on drinks (coming in next year) doesn't go far enough.

As such they also want a tax on sweets.

Yawn!

There is a certain type of person, with a sad and empty life, who fills their personal void by "saving others" even if they don't want to be saved.

The Australians call these people "Wowsers".

UK Is The Second Worst Nanny State In The EU


The UK is the second worst nanny-state in the EU, according to research from the Institute of Economic Affairs.

Britain falls behind only Finland in rankings from the Institute of Economic Affairs.

The Nanny State Index, published by the IEA and the European Policy Information Centre, scores countries on regulation of private, lifestyle choices.

Using 32 criteria related to food, soft drinks, alcohol, tobacco and e-cigarettes, it identifies the best and worst countries to eat, drink, smoke and vape.

The UK’s high position is attributed to excessive regulation and “sin” taxes, including plans for a levy on sugar in soft drinks.

Other measures cited include the extension of a ban on junk food advertising and measures to cut branding on cigarette packaging.

The UK also maintains the highest taxes on cigarettes and wine in the EU and the second highest taxes on beer.

The UK has some particularly punitive sin taxes. It has more than twice as many nanny state ‘points’ as the best performing countries, Germany and the Czech Republic. It has the highest taxes on cigarettes and wine in the EU and the second highest taxes on beer. The UK has seen a rising tide of lifestyle regulations in recent years, including:

  • Its smoking ban, introduced in 2007, allows fewer exemptions than that of almost any other country;

  • In May 2016, the UK and France became the first European countries to ban branding on tobacco products (‘plain packaging’);

  • A ban on ‘junk food’ advertising to children was extended to digital media in December 2016;

  • A UK-wide tax on sugary drinks is expected to be implemented in 2018;

  • There is a ban on sugary drinks in Scottish hospitals and both the Scottish and Welsh governments support minimum pricing for alcohol;

  • The only sliver of liberalism comes in the UK’s approach to e-cigarettes. Although the Welsh Assembly has proposed banning vaping in many indoor public places, no legislation forbids e-cigarette use in the UK.
Germany and Slovakia retain their positions as the most liberal countries in the EU.

Nanny Bans Fags In Council Houses

 

It seems that Nanny's chums in some councils have decided that her subjects are so thick and intent on self harm, that they must have their lives controlled by Nanny even when they are in the privacy of their own homes.

As such council housing tenants may be prohibited from smoking in their own homes under new rules being considered by some councils.

Under the prospective new rules new council tenants would have to sign an agreement pledging not to smoke before taking up residence in a council property.

Professor John Middleton, president of the Faculty of Public Health, is quoted in the Telegraph (using Nanny's favourite whine "won't someone think of the children?"):
"Housing associations and councils are looking at smoke-free housing buildings. Where children are involved I think there is a real case for it.

You wouldn’t evict a load of tenants for smoking. Where you have got new premises you could have smoke-free agreements from the start."
Deborah Arnott, chief executive of anti-smoking charity Ash, claims that people were “frustrated by councils’ and social landlords’ failure to take action” on smokers damaging the health of those around them.

It's not their farking business what happens within someone's home!

How the hell would this be monitored?

Happy National Masturbation Month!


Apparently May is National Masturbation Month

Who knew?

As such Mark Sergeant, psychology lecturer at Nottingham Trent University, told Metro that a 'masturbation break' would be "very effective" at work and a great way to relieve tension and stress.

This was echoed by psychologist and life coach Dr Cliff Arnall:
Certainly taking a masturbation break for boredom or an escape would increase work focus.
He suggested that a masturbation policy might result in "more focus, less aggression, higher productivity and more smiling".

Okay chaps, what could possibly go wrong?

Exaggerated Risk Warnings Cost Lives - The Nocebo Effect



It seems that exaggerated/false claims about the risks of statins may have cost the lives of tens of thousands of Britons.

That at least is the conclusion of a Lancet study that found the drugs do not cause side-effects which have deterred many.

The Telegraph reports that research on 10,000 people found that if they did not know what drugs they were given, they were no more likely than those given sugar pills to report symptoms such as muscle pain, sleep disturbance and cognitive impairment.

However, when participants in a second part of the trial were told the drugs were statins, rates of some reported side-effects shot up - with muscle pain appearing up to 41 per cent more common.

This is known as the "nocebo effect" where patients were more likely to think they were experiencing side-effects if they expected them.

Prof Peter Sever, from Imperial College London, urged the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to now strip packets of such warnings, in order to save “tens if not hundreds of thousands of lives”.

Let's also do that on packets of fags, paracetamols and booze!

Do As Nanny Says, Not As She Does!


Quelle surprise, a councillor who has broken planning rules.

Surely not!

As per the Telegraph:
"A Conservative district councillor who made alterations to her 14th century house without planning permission was taken to court after it appeared on a Channel 4 property show. 

Barby Dashwood-Morris, 70, failed to get planning permission for changes to the Priest House from Wealden District Council -  despite also serving as chair of its planning committee.

The East Sussex house appeared on "Double your House for Half the Money", presented by Sarah Beeny, in 2013. 

At the time Ms Dashwood-Morris, who was then chair of the council's planning south committee, said: "They were scheduled to spend two-and-a-half hours but actually were here for over four and they were so very enthusiastic about how the house looked - 'even better than they hoped'."
