Pussycat Pussycat V - Ding Dong Dell Pussy Didn't Kill

Good morning loyal readers.

Do you recall way back in March that I wrote a number of articles about Nanny's hysteria over Mephedrone (aka "Miaow Miaow"), the then legal high?

Here is an extract of one of my articles:

"There have been some very shouty headlines in the media (paper, TV and radio) over the past few weeks wrt the "legal high" drug Mephedrone (aka "Miaow Miaow").

Despite the fact that the toxicology reports have yet to come in, the media is absolutely one hundred percent certain that the drug was 100% responsible for the recent deaths of a handful of young people.

Dog whistle politicians have also been keen to get in on the "shouting", and have combined with the shouty media to call for a ban on the drug.

The fact that there is strong circumstantial evidence (yet to be confirmed by toxicology tests) that other substances were also being taken by these people with Miaow Miaow is being ignored by the media and the dog whistle politicians.

Nanny hates facts to impede a good "action headline" such as "government bans drug".

The actuality is as follows:

1 Until the toxicology reports are in, no one actually knows what caused the deaths of these people.

2 Ban this drug and the chemists will simply create a similar one with a slightly different chemical structure, that will be legal.

3 Prohibition created a large criminal industry in the USA in the 1920's. Banning drugs, as we currently do, has created a wealthy, powerful, vicious criminal community. Legalise drugs and you chop the legs off this community in one fell swoop...

As sure as eggs are eggs, Nanny went ahead and banned the drug.

The price of the drug then went up from £10 a gram to £40, someone did rather well out of the ban didn't they?

This week BBC South entrapped some hapless student at a Sussex university into selling a reporter a gram of Miaow Miaow. Needless to say the poor sod has been expelled (temporarily I think), and the police have got themselves involved. The BBC filmed a police spokesman saying they take this matter seriously, and that the drug has been proven to kill etc etc.

All very well, except for one very major fly in Nanny's oinkment.

You recall that at the time of the great hysteria over the deaths of two young men, that everyone ion the shouty media world and dog whistle politicians had said they were killed by Miaow Miaow?

Well, guess what?

The toxicology reports are now in.

Can you guess what they say?

Yes, that's right, the results state that the two young men did not take Miaow Miaow. Their blood streams contained a dangerous mix of booze and methadone (a synthetic heroin substitute).

So the furore kicked up by the tabloids over Miaow Miaow was in fact bollocks.

Will we be hearing an apology from Humberside police, who spread the rumour at the time that Miaow Miaow had been involved?

No!

Will we hear an apology from the shouty tabloids, who whipped Nanny into a frenzy over this lie?

No!

Will we hear an apology from the dog whistle politicians who voted through the ban?

No!

Factoid: various organisations used zero facts (one might almost infer that they lied) to push their own political/moral agenda.

The drugs policy of this country is in a total mess.

The only people who are doing well out of the current drugs policy are, the criminals (who make a fortune out of it), the shouty media who like lurid headlines and dog whistle moralising MPs who use it to manipulate their "moral majority" voters.

Factoids

1 The semi civil war in Mexico over drugs, that is now spilling over into the USA, will eventually force legislators there to legalise drugs in order to cut the legs off the criminal drugs lords who are destroying the country.

2 Leading politicians on both sides of the Atlantic (a President and a Prime Minister) have admitted to, or have almost admitted to, taking a variety on illegal substances. yet they have managed to lead fulfilling, non self destructive lives. How is they seek to maintain a ban on substances that they have taken?

3 Drugs finance terrorist economies, eg Afghanistan. Legalise drugs and the terrorist economy is decapitated.

I say again, without any lack of clarity or fudging of the issue, drugs should be legalised.

Once legalised, they can be taxed and the public properly educated as to their effects.

The legalisation will bring about the end of the stranglehold that the criminal gangs currently have on many of the run down estates in this country. The ending of their supply of easy money will remove their power, kudos and "bling"; their power over others will end.

That surely is a good thing?

Is it not ironic that those who would most strongly resist the legalisation of drugs are those who currently make money of them?

The Child Inspectors

I see that, despite our "glorious new age" of politics, Nanny is still intent on prying into the lives of her citizens.

Guidelines for inspections of family homes have been drawn up on the instructions of Nanny's chums in the Department of Health.

For why?

Nanny is worried about the number of injuries occurring to under 15s in the home.

Parents who have children under five will be visited by Nanny's inspectors. The inspectors will check whether families have installed smoke alarms, stair gates, locks on medicine cupboards, windows and ovens, and fitted temperature controls to stop bath water getting too hot etc.

Can you guess which organ of the state has drawn up the guidelines?

Yes, that's right, our old "friends" National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice).

Health and safety organisations have been told to identify homes where children are thought to be most at risk of accidents, and "offer home risk assessments".

Seemingly Nanny will use doctors and nurses as her spies, to tip off the state about children who have been admitted with injuries.

I used to fall over in the garden all the time and graze my knees, it's what happens when you are 6 or so. I don't fall over very much now:)

So, what happens then when someone refuses to allow a visit by Nanny's inspectors?

I guarantee, at the very least, their names will be added to a little list entitled "Uncooperative Needs To Be Watched".

Booze Matters - Supermarkets Want Their Cut

Nanny, as we know, has long hated the working classes (people who don't live in Islington, non Guardian readers and who buy food based on what they can afford rather than overpriced trendy organic shit).

She hates the fact that the working classes (allegedly) drink more, eat more unhealthy stuff, and smoke more than the rest of the population. Nanny also really hates the fact that the working classes are more willing to stick the finger to Nanny and her minions.

Well now, it would appear that Nanny is broadening her perspective and spewing forth her bile at the middle class as well.

In yet another media headline grabbing attempt, some tedious part of the NHS (NHS Information Centre) has warned that the middle classes are now drinking more than the working classes.

Also, for good measure, Nanny warns that married couples are also more likely to drink more often than singletons.

Seemingly sales of wine have increased more than that of any other type of alcohol over the last two decades, up by more than 50% since 1992.

Are "working class" people not allowed to drink wine then?

Why does this mean that "middle class" people alone are drinking wine?

Nanny warns that more than 10 million people are drinking at hazardous levels.

That would include our "beloved" MPs and members of the medical profession (who are no mean slouches themselves when it comes to downing a few, in between a few puffs on a fag and a couple of lines of Bolivian marching powder).

Needless to say, health "experts" are using these "findings" to call for a minimum price for a unit of alcohol.

Golly gosh, hot into the fray comes Sir Terry Leahy, the chief executive of Tesco, who is also calling for...can you guess?...yes, that's right...a minimum price on alcohol.

Could that call be possibly connected to the fact that he wants to increase his profit margins?

No one is stopping him from raising the price of booze in his stores now, if he is really so concerned about our health.

Ah, but wait a minute, that would mean that he would lose market share. Far better he gets the government to legislate allowing him and his competitors to form a government backed price fixing cartel (which is actually not allowed under current laws).

In the event that the prices are raised, given Nanny's statement that the middle classes are in fact the ones drinking more, how exactly will raised prices lower the rate of drinking amongst the middle classes (whom we assume can more likely afford the increase)?

Have we not, until recently, been bombarded with shite from Nanny telling us that drink is responsible for all crime in Britain?

After all after a few drinks we all have the urge to go out and beat someone senseless, don't we?

Are we to assume from these anti middle class findings that it is in fact the drunken middle classes who are responsible for all crime in the UK?

Are married people more likely to be drunken criminals, rather than singletons?

It seems to me that Nanny is very selective when it comes to presenting and using the "facts" that claims to have "researched".

Booze Matters - Dodgy Survey

Congratulations to Drinkaware, the alcohol charity, who commissioned a survey of 1,000 people about booze.

The results of the survey were extrapolated by some algorithm to produce a nice media headline, that claims 520,000 people go to work each day with a hangover.

The same people, or 520,000 new ones each day?

Let's make it a nice round million then folks!

The charity then drones on about lost productivity, and bosses not doing enough to discourage their workforce from drinking during the week.

Evidently Drinkaware is under the misguided delusion that we still reside in some form of feudal society, where our lives are owned by the local squire.

Not content with moaning about that, Drinkaware then warn about the dangers of the World Cup encouraging more boozing.

Yawn!

Let's make it a round million then folks!

Nanny's Bloody Database

I see that Nanny has been quietly building a DNA database, using blood samples taken from millions of newborn babies.

The blood samples are taken to check for serious conditions. However, despite giving new mums a nice little leaflet explaining why the samples are taken, what Nanny doesn't tell the mums is:

1 How long the hospitals will store the samples.

2 That the records can be accessed by police, coroners and medical researchers.

Some places are, apparently, keeping the samples on record for more than 20 years.

A glossy leaflet is not informed consent.

Bin Brother - Mobiles 'R Us

I see that employees of Biffa (wasn't he a regular on the front of the Beano, or was it Biffo?) will be given £1.75M worth of Vodafone BlackBerrys.

Biffa, aside from being a stalwart of the Beano, is also a waste disposal company (ie it employs many of the country's binmen).

The phones will be used to snoop on both householders (eg photographing "environmental crimes", such as an overfull bin) and the binmen themselves (mobiles have tracking devices etc).

At least this time everyone (binmen and householders) are being treated equally.

That at least is progress!
