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 Apu



It seems that the character of Apu will be departing the Simpsons, apparently people don't like the fact that Apu is voiced by a non Asian actor.

It seems to be current "group think" that actors have to actually be the person they are acting, eg actors playing gay people have to be gay and actors playing heterosexuals have to be straight etc.

I thought that the nature of "acting" was to create a believable character, irrespective of the background and experience of the actor playing the role. After all Alec Guinness played Hitler in "Hitler The Last Ten Days", and yet I am pretty confident Guinness has never conducted genocide!

Nanny Wants To Ban Greggs

 

My sympathies to the good people of North Shields who would like to have access to a bakery.

Nanny doesn't like the idea that Greggs has applied to move into a vacant unit in the Collingwood Centre, and is doing her best to ban it.

Wendy Burke, the borough's director of public health, is quoted by The Chronicle:
"Two thirds of adults and one third of 10-11 year olds adults in the borough are either overweight or obese.

A key priority both nationally and locally is to encourage healthy eating. This is incredibly difficult to do if we continue to allow developments that promote the sale of food high in fat, calories and salt within our commercial centres and in the immediate vicinity of our local schools and leisure centres, as an increasing proportion of people consume food outside the home."
She added that a new Greggs would make it easy for youngsters to buy "cheap, highly calorific food not only for breakfast, but also for lunch and tea".

She is seeking to blame obesity on a chain of bakers!

Sadly a petition with 73 signatures has been submitted against the development, citing concerns over childhood obesity, cooking smells, loss of residential amenity, vehicle noise, loss of visual amenity, litter and vermin problems. A further 33 letters of objection have also been sent to the council.

Coun Peter Earley, cabinet member for children, young people and skills, said in his objection that the a Greggs would be "detrimental to health and wellbeing of children and young people who attend nearby schools and would be situated in an area where there is already a significant issue with rising levels of childhood obesity".
All of this is of course utter bollocks:

1 Obesity cannot be blamed on a particular chain of bakers

2 Greggs is a bakers, not a "fast food" outlet.

3 It's not the role of the state to dictate what people may or may not eat.

4 The unit is vacant, if these cretins had their way it would remain forever vacant and be ablight upon the high street!

Nanny can fuck off!

Ignorant Bigot Emily Dawes Issues Insincere Apology and Deletes Twitter Account



Emily Dawes who called for the destruction of the Rothenstein Mural at Southampton University has issued an insincere apology and deleted her twitter account.

Here is her "apology" as per Guido Fawkes:

It is not genuine because, as you see, she linked the proposed vandalism to Armistice Day!


The insincere apology and deletion of her Twitter account is not enough, she should resign.

Here is the petition to sack her.

Nanny Bans The Rothenstein Mural



The Rothenstein Mural was painted in 1916 as a memorial to members of the British universities serving in the Great War.

Painted in 1916 by Sir William Rothenstein, former Principal of the Royal College of Art, and measuring approximately 10ft X 40ft, the mural was first displayed at the 11th Exhibition of the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society at the Royal Academy in the autumn of 1916.

It depicts an academic procession and the conferring of a degree on an ‘unknown soldier' undergraduate by the then Chancellor of Cambridge University.

Presented to the University of Southampton in 1959, by the artist's son, Sir John Rothenstein, the work represents a unique piece of art history. It features many key academics from the era of the Great War, including Vice-Chancellors and Chancellors, and the Poet Laureate Robert Bridges.
In his book "Men and Memories", Sir William Rothenstein told how the idea for the mural came to him. He called it "The New Chivalry":

"I happened to be at Oxford where I witnessed the conferring of degrees . . . The sight of a number of youths, booted and spurred, with their gowns over their khaki, kneeling before the Chancellor to receive their degrees, put me in mind of the age of chivalry, so touching and beautiful were these young figures; and I thought what a fine subject for a memorial painting this would make . . . I therefore painted a group of representative figures, Vice-Chancellors, scholars and men of science surrounding a Chancellor conferring a degree upon a young soldier."

The mural currently hangs in the Senate Room of the University of Southampton.

Unfortunately certain ignorant people don't like it, because it shows white people.

Step forward Emily Dawes President of the Union:
Feel free to enlighten her from her ignorant bigoted state!

Prat of The Week - Kirsten Powers



Disregarding the nonsense that is Halloween I have no idea who this person is, I am assuming some form of American "celeb".

However, she is talking utter bollocks.

All manner of everyday items that we wear have been "appropriated" from other cultures eg:

- jeans from the USA
- ties from Croatian mercenaries hired by Louis XIII
- buttoned shirts invented by 19th century British polo players
- shoes came from ancient Mesopotamia etc

Therefore, if you worry about appropriation you will need to stop wearing clothes!

Kirsten Powers, well deserving Prat of the Week!

Nanny Bans "Mansize" Tissues



Kleenex is scrapping "Mansize" branding from its tissue boxes after 60 years on the shelves as consumers called it out for being sexist. 

The company said the tissues would now be called "Extra Large".

What utter fuckwittery!

However, since Nanny is on the lookout for "sexist" names etc here are some that should be banned as per Liz Kershaw:

- Woman's Hours

-Woman's Own

-Woman's Weekly etc

Feel free to add your own!

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 Calorie Cap



It seems that Nanny is now abandoning any pretence that we have a right to choose what and how much we eat, as she proposes to introduce a mandatory calorie cap on food.

The fascists in Public Health England insist that pizzas must shrink or lose their toppings, and pies, ready meals and sandwiches will also be subject to the new proposed calorie limits.


Under the draft proposals, a standard pizza for one should contain no more than 928 calories - far less than many sold by takeaways, restaurants and shops.  And the recommendations suggest that a savoury pie should contain no more than 695 calories.

Public Health England (PHE) said “drastic” measures were needed to combat Britain’s obesity crisis.

Dr Alison Tedstone, PHE chief nutritionist, told the Telegraph:
It could mean less meat on a pizza, it could mean less cheese, it could mean a smaller size. Consumers are saying they want smaller portions and healthier options.

We know that just having healthy options on the menu won’t change the nation’s habits - we need the default option to have fewer calories. The default options for pizzas are margherita and pepperoni pizzas, so we need them to get healthier.
Here's why this is bollocks:

1 It's not the state's business how much shit we eat or drink, we are all going to die one way or another; let us choose the manner of our death!

2  Consumers have the right to choose the size of pizza, pie etc and then (if they are full) leave some of it for a doggy bag.

3 Restaurants and takeaways will simply flout this nonsense by offering two "government regulation mini" pizzas for the price of one.

All in all this is a disgrace, Nanny should "go away"!

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!

Scottish Nanny Bans Then Unbans Poppadoms



Scottish Nanny has, as per usual, made something of a fool of herself.

Scottish Nanny, fearful of the alleged obesity of her subjects, had decided that free poppadoms and prawn crackers (often accompany takeaways) would be banned.

24 hours later, having been justifiably ridiculed by all and sundry, Scottish Nanny has backtracked and the SNP has said that free traditional extras with Chinese and Indian meals, which are often included if a customer spends above a set amount, would not be under threat as part of its anti-obesity strategy.

Prats!

Nanny Loves Avocados


My sympathies to the good people of Costa Coffee, who have unwittingly annoyed the avocado eating classes.

Nanny's chums from ASA have banned an advert for Costa Coffee, which urged customers to buy a bacon roll rather than avocados.

The radio ad featured a voiceover which said there was "a great deal on ripen-at-home avocados" but they will only "be ready to eat for about 10 minutes then they'll go off".

The voice told people to choose the "better deal" of a roll or egg muffin.

A grand total of TWO listeners (who evidently do not have a life) complained that the ad, which aired in June, discouraged people from opting for fresh fruit.

The advertising watchdog agreed with the complaints and upheld them.

Costa said their ad played on the "frustration and unpredictability of the avocado".

The chain claimed it was not suggesting that listeners must choose between the two breakfast options, but that it was instead telling people about their promotional offer.

ASA said:
"We considered that, although the ad was light-hearted, it nevertheless suggested avocados were a poor breakfast choice, and that a bacon roll or egg muffin would be a better alternative, and in doing so discouraged the selection of avocados."
I am surprised that Nanny is so fond of avocados, given their high saturated fat and calorie content!

As I noted in January, an avocado contains more calories than a can of coke!
