The Week in Nonsense

Step forward Barnsley council, who are pushing to outlaw smoking outside pubs and restaurants. One of the councillors claimed in good weather, if he wished to eat or drink outside, smokers would pollute the area with smoke, in breach of the new smoking laws. My suggestion to the sane people of Barnsley, is to find this knobheads favourite pub/restaurant, fill up on beans, curry and Guinness, and then sit as close as possible to where he sits. The resulting fart-fest would hopefully gag him out, and make him wish he were smelling tobacco smoke instead. This is yet another example of how stupid laws spiral out of control. Little Stalins, like these fuckwits will only facilitate the demise of the unique British pub culture. Which brings us nicely onto all the idiots lining up to demand higher taxes on booze. Yet again, people like me and and you are to be punished financially, for the moronic few. The idiots who slam a bottle of spirits before they go out are not going to be deterred, in fact it will only lead to an explosion of booze cruises. One guy, a professor no less, claims supermarkets are "practically giving it away". What nonsense. Enforce the laws to hand if you wish to prevent underage drinking. When I was under 18, getting a pint, or served beer in shops was nigh on impossible, yet it seems 12/13 year olds are today free to but liquor with impunity. Enough already. But maybe we need to tax hardworking folk a bit more to pay for the ever increasing under class who think state subsidy's are a valid career choice. A fine example is the little scumbag on Tyneside, who at the grand old age of 21, has sired his seventh child, all to different slappers. And because the little sperm bank doesn't work, guess who is footing the bill? You and I, that's who. Don't be fooled into thinking this is a one off. At my kids school, there is a couple, who have four kids, only one is his, the rest have their own dad. Each. Anyway, not only do they see fit not to bother themselves with gainful employment, they can't even be arsed to raise themselves from bed in the morning to take their kids to school. Are they dragged to court? Are social workers called in to evaluate the problem? No, a teacher has to walk down and get them in a morning. Unbelievable. This ties in neatly to this weeks colossal waste of money story. £900,000,000 pounds has been spent to cut the amount of teenage truancy in this country over the last few years. Can you guess what the outcome of spending this vast amount of cash was? The rate actually went up 10%. How can you spend that kind of money on truancy? What on earth was it spent on? The mind truly boggles.

STOP THE NONSENSE
