Automatically Guilty

An article in the Times today. Labour are considering changing motoring law so as to make drivers automatically guilty.

MINISTERS are considering making motorists legally responsible for accidents involving cyclists or pedestrians, even if they are not at fault.

So I'm going to be guilty if some Lycra clad, "Twat in a hat", runs into the back of me, or weaves in and out of the traffic and gets hit? Labour really are desperate to get someone to vote for them.

Where I live, they converted the pavements into cycle lanes, filling in the bus laybyes in the process, causing traffic snarl ups in the rush hour. Pity no-one uses these cycle lanes.

Just don't get ill

If you ever have to be interned in the NHS, let this be a warning to you.

I do hope I don't get called into Matron's office this evening for a dressing down since the blog appears to have gone mainstream. Time to put the tin hat on, I think.

Just visit here and be afraid, very afraid.

Multiculteral is OK then?

We've brought on ourselves by not standing up and saying, NO, not in my name.

Pat Condell is upset again

This time it is Anjem Choudary.

Back to the drawing board

Listening to the Today programme this morning, it would appear that the ISA are going to rethink the depths of the new CRB checks for those working with children and vulnerable people.

I would hope that this will be scrutinised more completely by our Politicos and not just nodded through, as would seem to have been the case with the original Bill..

Will we see this before the election?

It's on it's way.

Priceless, World war has started.

Blue skies. Light winds. Perfect flying weather.

I feel like I'm in a war. It's a war that started on 1 July 2007. The day after tomorrow it will have been going on for 2 years, 2 months, 2 weeks, 2 days, 2 hours, and 2 minutes. But actually it's a global war, and it didn't start everywhere at the same time.

It's a war that's very like the Second World War. Once again we weren't ready, and the Nazis overran us easily. They had a war machine, and we didn't. These latest Nazis have, as before, overrun most of Europe in short order. There are smoking bans from Bantry Bay to Bratislava. They haven't captured Spain yet. And they haven't fully pacified Holland or Germany or Croatia. All the rest seem to have given up without a fight. And the news is always unremittingly grim. Iraq is the latest country to fall under the heel of the jackboot.

Absolutely Hilarious, read the rest here.

Mmmm

I am not a Paedophile either.

I presume you've all heard about the new database that will be compulsory for more than 11 million people to be registered on.

In case you haven't, its the "Independant Safeguarding Authority, and it's pernicious aim is that every person that comes in to contact with children must be registered. Even if they are just helping out at the scouts, or a regular school run.

The Children's Minister claimed today that millions of Britons must be placed on a new Big Brother-style child protection database to stop a repeat of the Soham murders.

Under the plan parents could face a £5,000 fine for driving their children's friends to a sports event or Cub Scout meeting if they have not been vetted first by the massive new government agency.

An astonishing 11.3million people - one adult in four - are likely to come under the watchful eye of the Independent Safeguarding Authority.

Yes, I'm all for protecting the Cheeldren, but this really oversteps the mark. Who an earth is going to volunteer to carry out any of the regular, taken for granted jobs, that we all carry out on a daily basis?
