Hospital food.

 

A Blogger spent time in the NHS for a debilitating bone disease and found Hospital food, as you would never like to have to eat.

Traction man on channel 4.

Here’s his Site. Just read through it to be appalled.

When will he admit defeat?

The map below purports to show who controls the various areas of Libya. I don’t know how true it is, but I would suggest El Presidente gets the hell out of Dodge, if he wishes to stay alive.

H/T to the captain for this.

That man in Libya.

Well everyone else has posted it.

Don’t eat or drink anything. It’ll kill you.

What is it with these so called health experts? Why can’t they leave us alone?

So how much red meat CAN we eat?

Latest warning suggests too much will cause cancer.

Adults will be advised to eat no more than 500g a week –the equivalent of just three rashers of bacon a day.
And.

A group of leading doctors will today brand ministers’ strategy for tackling Britain’s booze culture ‘inconsequential’ and blame ministers for being ‘too close’ to the drinks industry.

And even more doom mongering.

But the bitter truth is that a small bottle of flavoured water can contain as much sugar as a plate of Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

The most popular brand, Volvic’s Touch of Fruit in lemon and lime, has 27.5g of sugar in its standard 500ml bottle – equivalent to almost seven teaspoons.

What'’s more, the articles were all in the same paper. Can’t we have a bit less of  the “We’re all going to die”, for a change?

I wonder if I can retreat behind a paywall?

Will we see change?

Now the the American house of representatives has passed a resolution to stop funding the IPCC, will we see anything like it happening in the UK and Europe? I very much doubt it in the near future, as our coalition has a) vested interests, and b) they’re to spineless to admit they’re wrong in backing the wrong horse in the race to appease the neo left greenies that inhabit the Libdems.

I really despair when I read about how normal everyday citizens are suckered into spending vast amounts of their hard earned cash in installing green energy projects, which will, in the end of the day, leave them wishing that they had never been so stupid in the first place. Yes by all means install a solar panel on your roof, bur look into the costs you’ll incur in keeping it in working order.

I wrote a piece last year that used the government stats, and my simple engineering  expertise showed that after twenty years you would barely break even.

It’s up to you. Go green. Go broke. Just don’t expect me to pay for your mistakes.

Someone googled that. This is what they were looking for I presume when they turned up on here.

The Greek smoking ban post I put up last August.

IPCC to lose US funding

This has just broken via Jo Nova.

The yanks have got fed up funding this gravy train and are now pulling the plug.

Another victory for science! The House votes 244-179 to kill U.S. funding of UN IPCC!

‘[The US government] no longer wishes to have the IPCC prepare its comprehensive international climate science assessments’

Defund IPCC ‘amendment was sponsored by Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-Missouri), who read aloud on the floor from the 2009 U.S. Senate Report of more than 700 dissenting scientists!

(Written by Climate Depot’s Morano) — Luetkemeyer: Americans ‘should not have to continue to foot the bill for an (IPPC) organization to keep producing corrupt findings’

Note: U.S. Senate’s 700 Scientist report has been updated to more than a 1000 by Climate Depot. See: * SPECIAL REPORT: More Than 1000 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims.

There is a God.

I larfed till I cried.

On December 10, 2009, Greenpeace took its message to save the climate (summit in Copenhagen) directly to EU Heads of State who were gathering in Brussels. Activists managed, to their own surprise, to step onto the red carpet, where they delivered their “EU, save Copenhagen” message in front of the cameras.

And

Eleven people were subsequently charged with “Using False Documents”, and one of them was also charged with “Producing False Documents”, on the presumption that his press accreditation has been used. Defendants come from Belgium, the Netherlands, UK and France and they face sentences up to five years.

I’m laughing not that that they might be jailed. I think that would be wrong in this case. But the Righteous at Greenpeace always seem to think that their greenthink trumps the law of the land.

There’s a great wailing and gnashing of teeth going on over at their site
