I think everyone knows my feelings on the nanny state, I've gone on about it ad infinitum in previous posts but once more it rears its ugly head.
Our precious leaders as usual are using the oldest maxim in history to keep its populace under control
Divide and Rule
wind up the anti smokers against the smokers
the tea totalers against the drinkers
the pedestrian against to motorists
the workers against the unemployed
the rich against the poor
town folk against country folk
ecologists against industrialists
then throw in HUGE amounts of unsubstantiated so called facts and figures about crime, health, law n order, the environment blah blah blah, just enough to scare the Green Welly brigade into their local voting booth so they can continue to spread all their lovely spying toys further and further into our society and we of course, believing all the bull shit they throw at us, blindly follow the piper like a bunch of sheep spouting the very platitudes we've been fed, “oh, it makes us feel safer” BAAAAAHHHH
Bollocks, it makes us lambs to the slaughter.
I personally have not had a drink for quite some time now, and won't be for the foreseeable future. I have however been know to partake and baulk at the fact that our government can blithely step in to interfere with local and national commerce to tell our shop keepers and supermarkets how much they should charge for a product as a means of further controlling the behavior of its population.
It's disgraceful if you ask me.
Hi folks
I have been persuaded to start a blog about my recent life, (long story won't bore you) and after a lot of ummming and arrrring have decided it's probably a good idea.
trouble is i have absolutely no idea where to start and the type of blog i'm thinking about will need a few special features so just looking for some advice really.
many thanks
Pete
