'A Vote For UKIP Could Let Labour In.'
The mantra of this title MUST be ignored. The tories have shown their true, pink colours and unlike Maggie's administrations, it has singularly failed to prevent the forward march of the liberal left. But how could it have done otherwise when it is largely liberal left itself?
Do we HONESTLY believe that Labour could actually be any worse?

VOTE UKIP!

With Haeckel Long Debunked But ...
What used to be called the "recapitulation theory" has long been eliminated from scientific literature, but it is still being presented as a scientific reality by some evolutionist publications. The term "recapitulation" is a condensation of the dictum "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny," put forward by the evolutionary biologist Ernst Haeckel at the end of the nineteenth century. This theory of Haeckel's postulates that living embryos re-experience the evolutionary process that their pseudo-ancestors underwent. He theorized that during its development in its mother's womb, the human embryo first displayed the characteristics of a fish, and then those of a reptile, and finally those of a human. It has since been proven that this theory is completely bogus. It is now known that the "gills" that supposedly appear in the early stages of the human embryo are in fact the initial phases of the middle-ear canal, parathyroid, and thymus. That part of the embryo that was likened to the "egg yolk pouch" turns out to be a pouch that produces blood for the infant. The part that was identified as a "tail" by Haeckel and his followers is in fact the backbone, which resembles a tail only because it takes shape before the legs do.These are universally acknowledged facts in the scientific world, and are accepted even by evolutionists themselves. Two leading neo-Darwinists, George Gaylord Simpson and W. Beck have admitted this.
This has long been known - possibly since around 1868 when he first perpetuated his frauds. ('Unintentional' according to evolutionists, of course - but funny how they keep these things going for decades (a century+?) KNOWING them to be wrong.
I wonder how much more they are not admitting to?

The election of George Galloway? After a terrible week for all parties, this collapse in trust between voters and MPs should terrify us all.
George Galloway is the sort of politician who gives mavericks, exhibitionists and charlatans a bad name. In his years as a Labour and later independent MP, he was seldom out of trouble about women, money and the means by which he got his hands on it, or his support for off-the-wall causes and personalities, Iraq’s Saddam Hussein foremost among them.

Thanks Brussels! Going Into Hospital Could Become A Terrifying Experience!
'Growing numbers of the NHS’s medical and nursing staff come from overseas, and their English is so poor they cannot communicate effectively with patients.
Yet, far from tackling this dangerous situation, the European Union is set to reinforce rules which ban English tests for doctors and nurses from the EU before they are allowed to work here, branding it a ‘restraint of free movement’ of workers.The European directive, currently being debated in Brussels, insists that British employers can only test medics from Europe after their poor English has endangered patient care, flagging ‘serious and concrete doubt about the professional’s sufficient language knowledge’.
Litres Have Cost The Motorist A Great Deal.
Published on Friday 30 March 2012. Yorks Post.
From: David H Rhodes, Keble Park North, Bishopthorpe, York. 
Currently we pay £1.40 per litre for petrol which is £6.36 a gallon and when the fuel escalator tax is added in August, the probability of the cost being £1.50 a litre or £6.84 per gallon will be the outcome, an approximate increase of 50p. Nearly £7 a gallon! And to think when I was a lad I remember petrol at four shillings and threepence a gallon (21p).

Star Trek The Next Generation - Win A Klingon Competition.
To win your very own Klingon, you must put any three characters from the above series in the perfect order considering which you would most like to slap.
My choice would be:
1) Wesley Crusher.
2) Commander Riker.
3) Dr Crusher.

Angry Tories.
Cigar-Loving Extreme Leftist George Galloway Triumphs!
Labour stuffed! Lose solid majority.
UKIP vote increases and they were within reach of the Lib Dems. No comfort for Clegg!
In the Bradford West by-election the tory vote dropped from 31% to 8%!!
Conclusion - more tories probably voted for Galloway than did labourites.
Cameron? - Total smack in the eye! Shame innit?

Tim Congdon.
Talking of de Gaulle, shortly before the D-Day landings he and Churchill had one of their many sharp exchanges. The question was whether Britain’s most profound geopolitical commitment was to Europe or to the rest of the world, including of course the Commonwealth and the USA. Churchill was forthright, “If Britain must choose between Europe and the open sea, she must always choose the open sea.”
Spicy Food - Enjoy!
'A study, from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, focused on a family of substances known as 'capsaicinoids' - the part of the chilli that gives them their 'kick.'
Researchers found that the compounds that give cayennes, jalapenos and other chilli peppers their heat can lower high blood pressure and reduce blood cholesterol.
They said the chillies have great potential in protecting against heart disease, which is the number one cause of death in the developed world.' (Mail)

Japanese Executions.
To the horror of Amnesty International, three multiple murderers were executed in Japan yesterday.
'The hangings were immediately condemned by Amnesty International and the head of the Japan Federation of Bar Associations, Kenji Utsunomiya. "Executions should be immediately suspended so that capital punishment can be debated nationally," he said. (The Independent.)
National debate, eh? What an excellent argument! At the end of that debate there could be a referendum in every nation with or without the death penalty on a moral issue which should obviously not be left in the hands of politicians.Kenji Utsunomiya clearly admires democracy! I am sure that he could not possibly be advocating 'debate' only in those nations which do have a death penalty - that would hardly be evenhanded, would it?
(Just thought that for balance, I'd better mention that the latest government opinion polls in Japan put support for capital punishment at about 85 per cent!)
Wind Turbines - A View Which Is New To Me.
From: Bill Dyson, East End Cottages, Woldgate, Kirkham. Yorks Post.
BEN Stafford calls for “some light to be generated in the great turbine debate” (Yorkshire Post, March 17). It seems to me however that Mr Stafford does the opposite of that. The facts about wind turbines and wind farms have been known for a long time.
It is an absolute fact, easily verifiable by every one of us, that sometimes there is no wind at all, notably in the coldest parts of winter and when it does blow it doesn’t blow at constant speed, it blows in gusts.
Because wind is unreliable and greatly varies, wind farms have to be slowed or backed up by conventional generators which are constantly running. The money to build these generators has already been allocated by the Government. In relation to electricity generation therefore, wind farms are redundant. They may as well not have been built in the first place.
Conventional generators can’t be turned on and off in time with the gusts of wind – their output can only be changed gradually and because they emit more carbon dioxide when they are changing output than when they are running at constant speed, wind turbines do not save on greenhouse gases.In short, wind farms are useless. They are redundant in relation to electricity generation and they do not save on carbon emissions. They are therefore totally irrelevant in any discussion about climate change.
Binge Drinkers.
Do binge drinkers get tanked up at home on cheap supermarket drinks before heading for the rip-off clubs in town centres?
I spoke at length to somebody on the fringes of this culture last week who told me a rather different tale.
People with 'having a good time' on their minds want to be out of the house asap on Friday/Saturday nights and most head to their local pubs to meet up with friends in the early to mid part of the evening where they buy over-priced booze in large amounts before moving on to where the drinks are then purchased at absurd prices.
Obviously, I cannot state that the supermarket route does not exist but the tax everything until the pips squeak lobby are clearly overstating their case at the very least! But truth finding is hardly their agenda.

17 Weeks?
The Telegraph reports that the European Commission is facing pressure to overhaul the staffing regulations of the EU’s diplomatic service, the EEAS, after it emerged that generous holiday entitlements topped up by flexitime mean that EU diplomats can rack up to 17 weeks of holiday per year, leaving embassies and delegations empty for "many months".
So 5 weeks annually more than teachers most of whom actually toil in a highly-powered, stressful profession, huh?

Maurice Olive.
I was saddened to learn on Tuesday of the passing of Maurice Olive a month ago.
He possessed one of the greatest testimonies you could ever hope to hear and I had known him for over 35 years.
He went from violent thug - to mighty man of God - to pastor, after Jesus had entered his life.
Maurice was totally 'sold' on the God who became his personal saviour.
There will have been and will be vast amounts of rejoicing in heaven.

It is not his captaincy as the point at issue but rather the paucity of runs scored.
Anglican 'Unity Covenant' Voted Down.
'The Church of England has voted down a 'unity covenant' that was intended to help keep together the Anglican Communion, which is experiencing fierce divisions over theological differences amongst its member churches.' (Christian Post.)
Because of the widespread heresy in its ranks, the Anglican Church is surely destined to implode!
A LITTLE Of What You Fancy ...
It found that men who drank moderately after a first heart attack had a 42 per cent lower risk of dying from heart disease than non-drinkers.
Their risk of death from any cause was also reduced by 14 per cent.
However, those who drank more than two drinks a day were no better off, says a report in the online edition of the European Heart Journal. (Mail.)
Judge Earns A Coconut.
A married father who downloaded a million indecent images after developing an obsession for collecting child porn has walked free from court.
Roger Borton, 56, was caught with one of the largest ever collections of child pornography in the UK and he even continued offending after police raided his home.
But even though the offences carry a maximum five-year jail term, he escaped an immediate prison sentence so he could be given therapy instead.
To Judge Colin Burn, this Blog awards a well-deserved LoonyTunesWatch Coconut for not remembering that 'therapy' can be administered as much IN prison as outside it!!

Sheffield Star.
This week the front page of The Sheffield Star has regaled us with a dreadful story. It is of a sportsman who was stabbed in the heart with a screwdriver following an argument. He survived but will never again be able to ply his trade as a boxer.
 |
| Lowe. |
The perpetrator received a 4 year sentence. In practice he will probably serve a trivial 18 months for this heinous act in a pretty comfortable prison. William Lowe, who actually stabbed his victim FOUR TIMES had a previous criminal history of violent behaviour. It was only the excellent medical attention which prevented this being a murder. In ALL other respects - that is what this act was!
A sentence of 15 years would have been grossly inadequate.
I utterly despair of our society!

RSPB Wrong Again?
Starlings vanish from our gardens as numbers fall by 80% in 25 years. (Mail.)
The RSPB has now launched a study into this decline, believing a possible cause to be changes in soil affecting the insects they feed on.
Following on from their unwarranted conclusions about the relative harmlessness of magpies to their fellow avians - entirely contradicted by my own observations and many more bird lovers across Yorkshire - it looks like The RSPB has got it wrong again!
Their calculation methodology is flawed. Snapshots - largely from schoolchildren just do not possess an overview.
In recent years we had indeed seen many fewer starlings than ever before. To that point they were on the mark. BUT what they do not seem to have registered is that starling numbers have increased significantly in the last two years. Again this is the fruit of my personal observation. We have gone from them having a rarity value in S13 to be almost as common as they used to be. They are back squabbling on our lawn and bird table after quite an absence.
I was a longterm member of the RSPB but resigned some years ago and my allegiances are now firmly with the trust called Songbird Survival which seems to have the best interests of dickie birds as their primary concern. This group appears to work out the whole truth with unerring regularity.

Dr David Drew.
The good doctor was sacked as Clinical Director at Walsall Manor Hospital in 2010.
This is currently before an industrial tribunal. Consequently, this matter being in a sense sub judice, I am somewhat restricted in what I may say.
Apparently, he had the effrontery to pass an old and established prayer to his team as a motivator and prefaced this with the accompaniment that 'this helped him'.
Seemingly, the final straw came when a colleague, Rob Hodgkiss, replied with the word ‘likewise’, to his thoroughly wicked text which had wished him 'a peaceful Christmas'.
The hospital's report stated: ( AND ERM - why was any such report needed, I ask myself?) ‘While DD (David Drew) may regard such messages as benign, RH (Rob Hodgkiss) perceived them as aggressive and unwelcome intrusions into his private time.’
I hope I am not sailing too close to the wind when I WARN everyone out there that wishing any pleasanteries to work colleagues in the Christmas season may cost you your job!
And there are those out there who claim that 'Christians complain too much over the shenanigans of so-called aggressive atheism.' Yeah. Right!

Evangelicals In Brazil.
Researchers at Sepal (Serving Pastors and Leaders) studied results from Brazil's Census 2000 survey by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics and other information from a March 2007 study conducted by Datafolha, a major domestic information firm. Based on figures obtained from both sources, Sepal concludes that over half of the nation's population will be evangelical in less than a decade."We believe 52 per cent of the population will be evangelical by 2020, or about 109.3 million evangelicals within a total population of 209.3 million," said Sepal researcher Luis André Brunet, in an interview with The Christian Post this week.population.by.2020/27557.htm

Is This Situation The Product Of Sane minds?
From: Janet Berry, Barfield, Hambleton. Yorks Post.
A BUSINESSMAN points out that his business turned over £90,000 of which generated £60,000 in VAT, £50,000 in PAYE and £37,000 in corporation tax earning £147,000 in taxes for the government.
He personally earned £72,000 for working 70 to 80 hours weekly with two weeks holiday. He questions whether he should carry on working so that the state can get twice as much as he does especially when they can arbitrarily change the pension rules.
Hardly fair is it? I think many people in business are asking the same question.

MORE roads to “build for the future”? What on earth is David Cameron talking about? Of course we should maintain the roads we have, but his cuts are forcing local councils to cut back on this. Of course, we should use innovation to help create an economy fit for the 21st century, but what has building more roads got to do with that?
We know that more roads mean more traffic ............
Oh. So we know this, do we? It is time that this particular shibboleth were humanely dispatched!
When a relief road opens which company buys a new van or lorry?
Which individual is prompted to buy a car?
Apparent increases in traffic are due entirely to displacement!
It would take considerable effort to track down someone who switches away from public transport to their own vehicle just because of such a measure.
LOOK AT THE PHOTO!
If a relief road or bypass could stop the horror portrayed - why would you not want that - other than through a desire to punish the motorist, of course?
FYI, Dear Greens - THE EFFICIENT MOVEMENT OF TRAFFIC IS CONSIDERABLY GREENER THAN SUPPORTING TRAFFIC JAMS!
GET REAL!

Boycotting Starbucks?

The group, which supports legal protection for traditional marriage, launched the "Dump Starbucks" campaign after a national board meeting in which the Seattle-based coffee company mentioned support for same-sex marriage as a core value of the company.' (Christian Post.)
I was boycotting it anyway because of silly prices for its unflavoursome coffee.

Smoking does not need chancellors' budgets for it to die out.
