Harmans Cross

Cross ?

I expect she is bloody furious

Imagine, a very important person being reported to her police service for using a phone whilst driving..... by mere oiks, unimportant serfs, how very dare they !

Don't they realise she is of the 'Legally Untouchable' class? she is an MP for God's sake, and a Labour one at that.

It would be safe to predict an insufficient evidence verdict.


The lamp post would be a better verdict.....it has her name on it after all.

Next UKIP Leader ?

Nigel Farage has tipped Malcolm Pearson as the next party leader,

I wish him the best of luck ..... he will need all of his management skills in that job.
He is not too fussed by the expressions of outrage of the Religion of Peace, or the threat by a Labour peer to bring 10,000 of his mates to deny him his freedom to speak. He is quite happy to highlight the concerns of many people, as such he is worth a vote.... and so is the party.



The cartoon is borrowed from here and bodged about a bit by me.

Sorry too late, bit of a fib.

There it is in black and white, the basis of the referendum in which the country voted to stay in, was that we could get out at any time by the simple expedient of repealing one act,

as it says

THE LORD PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL, invited to reply to the
discussion, said it was clear that Parliament could not divest itself ultimately of its sovereignty and was in a position to bring the United Kingdom out of the Community at any time by repealing the European
Communities Act 1972.

"At any time", that time is now, it should takes a couple of days to get the paperwork done, even at the rate the House of commons works at.

UPDATE

In the comments Sir Henry Morgan said...

BTW - where've you been?

Where have I been ?..... ah yes.

I've been around posting on other blogs and generally getting wound up and fed up with what is happening. I've been quite active on the UKIP members forum and stopped calling all and sundry bunches of cunts in case I took on some sort of role in the party and came out of the shadows and into the glare.......

however, as a qualified cynic and grumpy-fucker I should have realised that within UKIP there are, as in all groups, people who well qualify to be in the 'bunch of cunts' grouping.

So, here I am again, ready to abuse all and sundry and to carry on my crusade against all that pisses me off.

Do keep dropping in.

Blackjacks, down memory lane

I have been talking on another forum about Blackjacks the sweets we used to munch on as children, the image is from here.

I wonder why they changed it ?

What I said.

Britain, which aims to install about 30 gigawatts (GW) of wind turbines by 2020, will need to build almost as much backup power generation for calm weather periods, an executive from Scottish Power said on Wednesday.

The government is relying heavily on the growth of wind power to meet tough EU renewable energy targets and promises another £525 million in support for offshore wind as part of Wednesday's budget.

But the more wind turbines Britain erects the more conventional plants it will need.

"Thirty gigawatts of wind maybe requires 25 GW of backup," said Rupert Steele, regulation director at the Scottish arm of Spain's Iberdrola, one of the world's largest wind farm operators.

"The problem is that if you've got a high-pressured area, you may have quite a large area where there's no wind at all ... That happens also offshore," he told Reuters.

Britain plans to install as much as 30 gigawatt of wind capacity, mostly offshore, as part of its efforts to source 20 percent of its energy from renewables by 2020.

At end-2008, it had wind capacity totalling 3.24 GW, including 2.65 GW onshore and 566 megawatts (MW) offshore. It is to reach 4 GW later in 2009 and 5 GW early next year.

Scottish Power had installed capacity of 665 MW by the end of last year and is close to completing Whitelee Windfarm, near Glasgow, which will be Europe's largest onshore site with 140 turbines.

Steele said wind farms usually had a load factor of 30 percent, which meant they provided 30 percent of named plate capacity over the year.

There is, of course, no money in the budget to build the power stations.

Just what we need, more windchimes.

I read that the budget will include a figure with lots of noughts at the end of it to promote more wind turbines. The government is obviously out to get the 'stupid' vote to shore up their 'grandfather used to vote labour' vote.
The map above is from xcweather and shows that not a single turbine in The British Isles, onshore or offshore will be producing any useful power today as there will be no wind of more than 10mph. The forecast for the next few days is more of the same, I look at this site daily as the wind strength and direction is important in my decision whether to go to the coast to do some fishing and/or the the bit of coast where the wind is favourable. This situation of high pressure sitting over the area happens time and time again... and each time the gas, coal and nuclear power stations will have to turn the wick up to make up for the shortfall.

Windchimes are put up by trendies, usually 'wimmin' who are 'finding themselves': the chimes have no function other than to announce when the wind blows, they are expensive, irritatingly noisy, a waste of money and completly pointless..... although your 'trendy' will lay claim to a spiritual gain.

Exactly; wind-chime, wind-turbine

Debate with Yasin, a challenge.

Space left here for a debate

Yasin, feel free to write in the comment section and I will transfer it to the dialogue in this post....

.......................put in links to support your argument, like the grown ups do.

Any artists out there ?

now there's a jolly jape !...

......from here

Are there any amateur artists heading towards our national gallery ?

Now, if this chap was leader of the Conservatives...

I posted a while back about the money wasted on the new style collapsible sign posts; a rash of new signs has sprouted up on the sides of the A303 through Wiltshire, Dorset and Somerset.... dozens of them, scores of them. They carry no message that can be read at present but are cunningly designed to be opened up to display a message when the time is ripe.

The road is already well sign posted, directions, road numbers and miles to various places en-route are listed quite adequately.... more warnings of revenue cameras than you can shake a fist at; there are even signs that advise that you should take a break as tiredness kills.

So what is on these ?

My best guess is some government nannying;

perhaps

Buses use this road ! .... are you wearing clean underwear ?

your own suggestions are welcome.



Students of design will note that the collapsible posts will do just that, collapse..... slowing the vehicle enough to drop the nose into the pit they have dug for the concrete foundation. The car should then flip up and over and come to rest embedded on the tree behind it, clever !

FFS No. 938

This picture of a bag containing two potatoes illustrates the total disconnect that now exists between town and country; potatoes are planted in the spring and are harvested during the summer and autumn. The potato plant grows from a potato, from one seed potato a plant grows that produces many other potatoes. It stands to reason that a potato must last from harvest to planting season if there are to be any potatoes at all next year. The potato is stored in heaps in sheds out of the frost, traditionally they were clamped in the field, a clamp was made by placing straw over brushwood laid on the field, piling up the potatoes in a mound or ridge then covering with straw as thatch to keep the potatoes dry and frost free; the whole lot was then covered with soil to keep animals and other thieves out.

Someone has decided to doubt the wisdom of this plan and has decided that a potato is perishable to the extent that it can be displayed for sale for just a few days and then must be advertised as "best before" a couple of days hence.

I assume those potatoes "past their sell by date" will be shunned by the city shopper, withdrawn from sale by the city shelf stacker/unstacker and destroyed; I wonder if a city type council prodnose would prosecute the shop for selling "out-of-date" produce.

No wonder we oldies shake our grey or greying heads and wonder what the world is coming to.

UKIP comments on this EU nonsense here

Tories promote Britain shock !

The usual "all mouth and trousers" approach from the Conservatives, fine words but just where are the fine actions to go with them ?

Food labelling, ahh yes, all part of the "In Europe but not ruled by Europe" bollocks from your europhile bluelabour party.

wakey wakey.....

UPDATE

To put the above into a context you should visit Cranmer's Blog where he speaks of a muslim peer...........

It appears that a member of the House of Lords had invited the Dutch politician, Geert Wilders, to a private meeting in the Palace of Westminster. She had intended to invite her colleagues in the Lords to a private viewing of his ‘documentary’ Fitna, followed by discussion and debate in true parliamentary fashion. This is, after all, a liberal democracy, and their lordships enjoy the rights of freedom of expression and freedom of association, not to mention certain parliamentary privileges for the protection of their function in the legislature.

But no sooner had the unsuspecting baroness sent out her invitations, Lord Ahmed raised hell. It is reported that he ‘threatened to mobilise 10,000 Muslims to prevent Mr Wilders from entering the House and threatened to take the colleague who was organising the event to court’.

And so Fitna has been cancelled: it shall not now be screened in the House of Lords on 29th January.
