My wife has driven my kids to a life of crime.

If you can belief the latest nonsense from the Healthists.

Children  whose mothers smoked heavily during pregnancy are more likely to become career criminals, research suggests.

Well my wife smoked during two of her pregnancies, and neither offspring have a tendency to carry out a bank robbery or even indulge in the odd shoplift or two. (Then again, maybe they’re too clever to be caught).

Children whose mothers smoked heavily were 31 per cent more likely to have been arrested than those whose mothers never smoked.

They were also more likely to be repeat offenders. The increased crime risk is found among children whose mothers had 20 or more cigarettes a day when pregnant, according to the report by Harvard School of Public Health in the US.

I can’t even get angry at this piece of shite. In fact I even had a little giggle. Think of the Cheeeldren.

*Hey Kids. If you have a stash of gold bars anywhere. Could your destitute father have a bar or two?*

I’ve found OBO

So that’s where he went t0.

Everything you need to know about global warming in the UK but were afraid to ask

I was just reminded of this video by The Englishman. So I thought I’d repost it.

War & Remembrance

I hope you’ll forgive me for not having an outpouring of  sentimentality on the issue.

Because I’ve been there.

War is the most ugliest and horrifying thing you could experience in life. Nothing prepares you for the sheer horror and terror that happens around you. Forget the films you have seen, where the soldier lies dying in the arms of one of his mates and gently slips away. I can’t even dare picture the sights I have seen less narrate them here.

We all go cuddly at this time of year and buy a poppy and bend our heads in two minutes of silence.

What we all should be doing, is doing our best to support our veterans, and our currently serving serviceman, for the whole year. Not remember them for one day. Think about them every day.

Storage

It makes me wonder how duped our political class are when it comes to renewable energy. They keep banging on that it is needed to sustain our way of life,  rather than that nasty CO2 producing conventional power station.

Well, tonight my Bird Mincer Wind turbine (I haven’t really got one. I’m not a brainwashed, green, cretin), would be producing sweet fuck all, as there is not a breath of wind here in deepest darkest Kent.

However on Thursday and Friday there was oodles of wind. Enough to power The large Hadron collider barely my lighting if I had a commercially bought, private property device.

But to cut to the chase. Even supposing I had a turbine that could produce three times my consumption, how would I store the surplus? Well I could invest in a transformer and go and get dozens of batteries from Halfords, (Halfords, if you’re reading this, the free plug here, is worth a few quid for my help with your sales) or I could build a heat sink in the garden and recover the energy by a heat pump system.

The trouble with this strategy is, it is cost prohibitive to the lay person.

And of course, it will be to the national projects as well.

It’s different in places such as Norway, where they can use the energy produced to pump water up to high level reservoir to be used to generate hydro-electric power when the wind ceases to blow.

So if we go down the road of having 20% of our energy from renewables in the future. Where is 20% of the energy tonight going to come from?

Don’t mess with the military

 

The Woman Marine  Pilot

  The teacher gave  her fifth grade class an assignment: Get their parents to tell  them a story with a moral at the end of it.  The next  day, the kids came back and, one by one, began to tell their  stories.

There were all  the regular types of stuff: spilled milk and pennies  saved.  But then the teacher realized, much to her  dismay, that only Janie was left.

  “Janie, do you  have a story to share?'

  ''Yes  ma'am.  My daddy told me a story about my Mom. She was  a Marine pilot in Desert Storm, and her plane got hit.   She had to bail out over enemy territory, and all she had was  a flask of whiskey, a pistol, and a survival knife.  
  She drank the  whiskey on the way down so the bottle wouldn't break, and then  her parachute landed her right in the middle of 20 Iraqi  troops. She shot 15 of them with the pistol, until she ran out  of bullets, killed four more with the knife, till the blade  broke, and then she killed the last Iraqi with her bare hands.  
  ''Good Heavens,'  said the horrified teacher.  'What did your Daddy tell  you was the moral to this horrible story?

 

"Don't mess  with Mommy when she's been  drinking."

Way to go Sister!

More health and safety Bollocks. But at least someone has stood up to them.

A council which cut down washing lines, took away residents' doormats and removed children's bicycles for “health and safety” reasons has halted the operation after being confronted with a mass protest led by a nun.

Rules are Rules. But I wonder if the paragraph below highlights the real reason.

The Irish-born nun, who lives in the area, added: “To focus on this ridiculous thing about washing lines and doormats is quite stupid when there is anti-social yob behaviour they should be dealing with. If they don't want us hanging out our washing in view of Canary Wharf then they should buy us all tumble-dryers.”

And what on earth is “Tenancy Enforcement Work” supposed to mean?

The organisation, which acts as the housing arm of the local authority, said the aim was to “carry out tenancy enforcement work, including the removal of washing lines, bikes and other obstructions as a landlord to keep residents safe”.

I’m sure the residents appreciate all their hard work.

£4.8 Trillion

That’s the National debt.

I’ve just been watching Martin Durkin’s explanation on the channel 4 episode, Britain’s Trillion pound horror story, that was aired last night. In it he shows how we got into it and maybe a way out. It does make for depressing viewing. I strongly suggest that all members of  our ruling elite should be locked into a cinema and made to watch it. (Under pain of death naturally).

It’s worth watching even if it is 72 minutes long.

Students

The poor little students are upset that some of them may be punished for their actions.

Defend the Millbank protestors

Why not go over and add your comment?

It’s got it all

In an article here  in ABC , the Drum, Unleashed, the paragraph below is from one of the commentators . He really is a good little Global warming, Climate change, Climate disruption, believer. The article in question is a cynical swipe at the Flat earthers, AGW supporters.

If you look at my emphasis you’ll note how he manages to  squirrel in a plethora of emotive words in his comment. Pretty good Huh.

Oliver W:
If the doctor who told you to manage the pain was taking money from the drug company from whom you need to buy your pain killers, would you still trust them?
You need to wake up, and look at the serious conflict of interest being shown by the anti-global warming factions. Big Mining, Big Oil, Big Cars, MORE GROWTH....We know what these people want, and it MORE MONEY AND POWER.
The same tactics of delay and deny, were used by the big tobacco companies, so that they could continue to make massive profits while knowing full well that the medical evidence was correct, and that they were killing people.
We need a change of direction here, because people, if you are under 40, this issue will come home to roost during your lifetime. For those old enough to miss the fun, think about your children cause they will cop it instead......

Well done to get the Cheeeldren in.
