Turning Out The Lights

Have Your Whine

Councils in England and Wales are considering switching off some of their street lights to save money and energy. Is this the best way for councils to cut emissions?

Councils say that switching off the lights will cut carbon dioxide emissions and help them to reduce their carbon footprints. Turning lights off at certain time will also save money.

This is one of those issues where I am a little bit torn. If the sole reason for doing this, was to save co2 emissions, then I would say forget it. It will make sod all difference.

However, I am not going to cut my nose off to spite my face. I believe in being efficient in energy use. 1) Because it costs us money and 2) Because this is energy we could be using for something else.

Do we REALLY need motorways to be lit up like it is day time for instance? I am sure you could at least turn every other light off, with no real difference.

In built up areas and towns though, I don't think turning them off is a great idea. The weaker members of our society will be more frightened, if they have to stumble around in the dark on their way home. If they could carry a gun, then maybe that would balance it out, but they can't.

So on reflection, I believe councils SHOULD look at areas and roads and turn out some of the lights, if possible.

Sadly this will just make George Orwell look like even more of a prophet, with this blueprint for Britain under Labour, 1984.

Dark run down streets, with people snitching on each other and eating meat substitute. Perpetual war with unseen enemies and governments who spin out propaganda that we have never had it so good! All policies now being considered, or in place by New Labour.

Makes you want to weep!

UK Bill of rights (fascism) on its way

Commie tool

The government should adopt a Bill of Rights for the UK, a cross-party committee of MPs and peers has urged.

The Joint Committee on Human Rights said the bill should go further than current human rights legislation.

The bill should give greater protection to groups such as children, the elderly and those with learning difficulties, it said in a report.

Why do groups need greater protection? Children are already more than protected by law, but of course enforcing that law is another matter all together. The elderly should expect the same protection as anyone, IE the right to not be violently attacked and go about their business freely.

Are these donkeys really telling us that centuries of British civilisation have not already given these groups protection? Well it is true, we are all losing our right to be free, but I doubt if their rancid little consensus Bill will address that at all. Quite the opposite in fact. What I expect to see, is Britain being harmonised into the EU socialist solidarity collective way.

Its report referred to a survey conducted in 2006 when more than three-quarters of the people polled agreed that "Britain needs a Bill of Rights to protect the liberty of the individual".

That's right, the INDIVIDUAL. So why are these chimps already leaping to trying to make it into groups.

The report said: "We recommend for inclusion, amongst others, the right to trial by jury, the right to administrative justice and international human rights as yet not incorporated into UK law.

Ah now we get down to the reality. As usual we are conned with the initial REASSERTION that we are entitled to a trial by jury. Well that's what we used to have, but of late they have ripped it away bit by bit from us. Speeding tickets anyone?

But look at the second part. INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS, not yet incorporated into UK law. In other words, we will be pushed into a New World Order. You think these "rights" will be good for us? I doubt it. More like more socialist crap that actually makes us more under the hammer of the state.

The Bill would also encompass Britons' social and economic rights, including the right to health, housing, education and an adequate standard of living, the report said.

There you go. This isn't about freedom, it's about some socialist/communist Utopian idea, that we are all entitled to expect a certain standard of living, no matter how useless, lazy, criminal or scummy we are. This is the USSR all over again and we know what kind of standard of living the people had under that. Yeah, you had a minimum standard for sure and only a very a few managed to get above it. The politicians.

"And it would help to correct the popular misconception that human rights are a charter for criminals and terrorists," it went on.

Except it isn't a misconception, because those are the true winners so far. Ordinary Brits got on just fine without all this crap before, but ever since our surrender to the EU, we have no choice but to give convicted criminals better treatment.

Calling it a "constitutional landmark", he added: "It would provide a framework both for protecting the liberty of the individual against the intrusion of state power, and for protecting the 'little person' against powerful interests.

Truly we are living in Orwellian times. Black is white, war is peace, freedom is slaver and 2+2=5. This isn't anything to do with individual liberty. It is about putting us in line with the rest of the world, so the one world dictatorship can have its way.

The Ministry of Truth is real!

The Government has spent almost £2 million to fund programmes that are all but indistinguishable from regular shows, The Sunday Telegraph has established.

But unlike normal documentaries, the programmes are commissioned by ministers with the purpose of showing their policies or activities in a sympathetic light.

The media watchdog Ofcom has disclosed that it had opened an investigation into one of the programmes, Beat: Life on the Street — about the Government’s controversial Police Community Support Officers, to see whether it breached its broadcasting code.

Come again? Does there need to be an investigation? They have just rumbled the government using stolen (taxpayers) money, to fund a load of total propaganda and they want to investigate it? There is nothing to investigate! Our government is using our own money, to pump out propaganda. Orwell had this bunch of cretins down perfectly.

When you look at your pay packet at the end of the month and see a huge chunk of it swallowed up in tax.

Then when you buy some petrol and remember half of that is tax (yes more tax on money you have already paid tax on).

Then when you replace you Tax disk in your car.

Or when you go to park your car, in the council car park and have to pay 4 quid for a couple of hours.

Or pay more VAT on your shopping, or to have your car MOT'd.

Then when you get you council tax bill through.

Or when you get an energy bill, with the tax added for that.

Or then you manage to save 3p of what's left, but get taxed again on any interest it makes.

Or manage to scrimp some money to go on holiday and get taxed all kinds of different taxes.

Or you mange to get a pension together, which then gets taxed.

OR if you FUCKING DIE and you manage to leave some inheritance to your kids, that gets taxed.

REMEMBER these fucking parasites are wasting it on telling you how good they are.

Revolution can't be far away.
