EU Fuckwits Try To Ban Twitter


 

The fuckwits running the EU are so pissed off with the fact that Twitter allows people to post things that the EU doesn't like, that it is seeking to ban it.

They are so fuckwitted in the EU that they haven't twigged that any ban is easily circumvented by the use of VPN.

Queen's Speech To Kill EU's Cookie Monster?


 

It is expected that the Queen's speech today will finally outline plans to end that most despised of regulations, namely the EU's cookie pop-up banners reminding users that websites will use cookies to store information about them.

The Queen’s speech will contain an explicit promise to end the annoying, time-wasting requirement for cookie box-ticking via the new Data Reform Bill.

Nanny To Install Speed Limiters On All New Cars



Euro Nanny has decreed that all new cars sold in the UK and Europe are to be fitted with devices to automatically stop drivers from exceeding the speed limit under sweeping changes to vehicle safety rules provisionally agreed by the EU.

Although Britain may no longer be part of the EU when the rules come into effect, the UK regulator, the Vehicle Certification Agency, has said it will mirror safety standards for vehicles in the UK. Remind me again, why did we want to leave the EU?

Let us trust and assume that there are no software glitches/hacks that cause "unforeseen" problems!

Euro Nanny Hates Booze


My thanks to a loyal reader who pointed me in the direction of an article in the Independent that warns about nanny having a go at drinkers again.

A report by United European Gastroenterology wants alcohol sales to be restricted and minimum pricing introduced.

For why?

Seemingly Europe needs to be weaned off its “deeply embedded” fondness for alcohol.

Apparently Europe drinks more alcohol than any other part of the world and consequently has the highest rate of ill-health and premature death linked directly to it.

Seemingly the Brits are to blame in part (a swelling of national pride!) because of the 24-hour availability of alcohol in the UK. However, we only rank eight in the boozer league (Lithuania comes out top).

Notwithstanding that, Euro Nanny wants evening sales banned, minimum pricing introduced etc etc.

Euro Nanny can F Off!

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.

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.

Stop Whinging

Courtesy of Virgin media my broadband has been down since Friday and won't be fixed before Wednesday, hence I am posting from a mobile.

Regarding the post referendum whinging and clamour for referendum 2 the sequel, irrespective of how you voted, stop whinging and finger pointing.

We are where we are, and need to work from that.

A house divided inevitably falls !

CERN To Open The Gates of Hell?


Whilst British Nanny frets about all manner of trivia, and seeks to stop us doing anything which she construes to be remotely risky, it is heartwarming to see our chums in Europe throw caution to the wind and go where no man (how very un-pc of me) has gone before.

The European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, is gearing up for another run at smashing particles together to unlock the secrets of the universe.

That means, according to some, blasting open a gateway for apocalyptic demons!

This rather puts into perspective all the fuss that Nanny makes over bacon sarnies and second hand vap smoke.

Britain Third Worst Nanny State in EU


A loyal readers have known for a very long time, Britain has a very heavy handed Nanny.

Now comes proof of what we already knew, statistics put together by the Institute of Economic Affairs show that Britain is the third worst country in the European Union for nanny state regulation.

The 2016 Nanny State Index, published today, shows that on Finland and Sweden are more meddling that British Nanny. by the Institute of Economic Affairs, gave every EU country a score out of 100 according to how it regulates private lifestyle choices on alcohol, food, soft drinks, tobacco and e-cigarettes.

Here is the table of Nannyism as per the Telegraph.
The 2016 Nanny State Index
Finland is the EU's number one Nanny state thanks to its taxes on chocolate, soft drinks, alcohol and tobacco. Finland also has an outright ban on e-cigarettes, a ban on happy hours and heavy restrictions on advertising.


No link between regulation and longer life expectancy was found.

Countries with heavy regulation of alcohol do not have lower rates of drinking, and countries with heavy regulation of tobacco do not have lower rates of smoking.

Christopher Snowdon, head of lifestyle economics at the Institute of Economic Affairs, said:
The obvious conclusion is that nanny state regulation does not work.”
Exactly!
