High paid job?

This is not a job that I could do. It gives me the shivers to just view it.

Don’t look down I tell you.

Marriage Dave?

I see “call me Dave” is trying to be all things to all men (and Women, before you shout me down for being sexist), by trying to get more supporters from the gay community.

The coalition is to push ahead with plans for gay marriage following the personal intervention of David Cameron.

Liberal Democrat Lynne Featherstone will today unveil plans to legislate to bring in gay marriage before 2015.

The Equalities Minister will also announce that Britain should be a ‘world leader for gay rights’.

Actually, “Call me Dave”, if you follow the rulings of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, you might find yourself in a bit of a bind when it comes to international law. If you look below you’ll see it that it clearly states Men and Women. Nowhere does it state that marriage is sanctioned between same sex couples. 

Article 16.

• (1) Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution.
• (2) Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses.
• (3) The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State.

Now I was married in church many years ago. I’m not at all religious now but I respect those that have their beliefs The present political thinking is to allow churches to opt out for now. But how long will it be before the gay activists push for a change in the law to allow same sex couples to marry in Church. Mission creep and all that.

That’ll be the day when we should pressurise government that it must extend across all faiths. Imagine any government telling the Islamic community that they are obliged in law, to allow same sex marriages. 

Just saying…………….

Logical?

A young Law student, having failed his Law exam, goes up to his crusty old professor, who is renowned for his razor-sharp legal mind.

Student: "Sir, do you really understand everything about this subject?"

Professor: "Actually, I probably do. Otherwise I wouldn't be a professor, would I?"

Student: "OK. So I’d like to ask you a question. If you can give me the correct answer, I will accept my marks as they are. If you can't give me the correct answer, however, you'll have to give me an "A".

Professor: "Hmmmm, alright. So what’s the question?"

Student: "What is legal but not logical, logical but not legal, and neither logical nor legal? "

The professor wracks his famous brain, but just can't crack the answer. Finally he gives up and changes the student's failing mark into an "A" as agreed, and the student goes away, very pleased.

The professor continues to wrack his brain over the question all afternoon, but still can’t get the answer. So finally he calls in a group of his brightest students and tells them he has a really, really tough question to answer: "What is legal but not logical, logical but not legal, and neither logical nor legal? "

To the professor's surprise (and embarrassment) ,all the students immediately raise their hands.

"All right" says the professor, and asks his favourite student to answer.

"It's quite easy, sir" says the student. "You see, you are 75 years old and married to a 30 year old woman, which is legal, but not logical. Your wife has a 22 year old lover, which is logical, but not legal. And your wife's lover failed his exam but you've just given him an "A", which is neither legal nor logical !"  

FrackNation

This is a film that is hoped to be made espousing the benefits of Shale gas which the green groups are desperately trying to prevent from happening.

In fact because Fracking is conducted at very deep levels, it should be no cause for concern as the technology has advanced in leaps and bounds since it’s inception.

Here’s a simple clip of the process.

If we were to embrace this technology in the UK we would most certainly see, in the medium term, a reduction in our household energy bills. There would be no need to pay expensive and ludicrous green energy tariffs to subsidise wind turbines bird mincers and photo voltaic panels.

Explained here.

Does Green thinking need a red light?

We few who are drowned out by the Big Green taxpayer funded lobby groups such as the WWF and the IPCC need to publicise that there is more to saving the planet than windfarms and useless PV panels. Cheap energy has the ability to lift millions out of poverty ridden lifestyles.

That’s why this film needs to be made. Maybe it’s just a pinprick. But if you do nothing, (And I’m no way condemning you) then we are destined for a poorer world, where millions more will die. I’m also being selfish here in the fact that my gas bill in the last year has risen by 18%, partly due to the imposed green taxes levied on my bills. That would be fine, except I’m a pensioner that has seen his savings eroded by low interest rates and the effect of quantative  easing of the currency.

Go on. Chuck a couple of quid into this project

Apologies

Since I turned off the new word verification system to make it less burdensome for you lovely people out there to comment, I inadvertently caused a problem.

My blog is set up to send comments to my gmail  account. Unfortunately along with the newly acquired dose of spam it also relegated regular commenters to the spam folder as well.

So for now I’m going to turn back on the word verification and hope that it solves the problem.

You really shouldn't have published that book Mr Orwell. The wankers in government are using it as a blueprint now.

We really are slipping into a total surveillance state. North Korea must be smiling.
