Nanny State? Aarggh

[steveh31]

RANT TIME
What is going on in this country? I’m sick of turning on the news and being told I have to stop doing things because"it’s bad for the environment" I can’t put a normal lightbulb in it has to be low energy, I can’t eat crisps, chocolate etc because I might get fat, I can’t smoke if i want to, I cant leave my tv or video on standby, I can’t drive because Im polluting the enviromnent, I cant go on holiday because the planes are bad, cows can’t even fart because the methane is destroying the ozone layer and now i can’t drink fresh milk because it uses up to much energy to keep it chilled and Im supposed to use UHT.

UHT milk tastes awful and if I want to drink fresh milk I will how many more crackpot ideas are they gonna come up with because of "GLORBAL WORMING"

Governement, environmentalist and any do gooders reading leave me alone to live my life my way I will eat what I want switch as many lights on as I want and drink what I want, and if cows wanna burp or fart that there business if you wanna "save" the planet go and do so leave me out.

THANK YOU FOR READING I’M GOING TO TAKE MY MEDICATION NOW AND CALM DOWN.

More of a police state i’d say Stevie. I’m increasingly conscious that if I do one thing out of line, i.e get into a fight over something i’m going to get banged up, and I don’t like the idea of being in prison. I’m seriously thinking of going somewhere a bit more hospitable, [if there is anywhere]

I’ve heard Middlesbrough’s not too bad Marb (see the thread below lol)

Calm down steve .. you know it makes sense, it’s only right and fair and true and sensible. You have to look at the bigger picture and put a bit of trust in those that are in charge, they know what they’re doing mate. We don’t, sorry shouldn’t have to make our own decisions .. it’s just too much!

Contrary to popular belief they aren’t a load of self seeking, traitorous scumbags who only want to feather their own nests while swanning off all over the show in private jets and filling the country up with riff-raff from all over the planet, so they can rip us all off. No, they’re not like that.

Forgive me for asking, but why can’t you do any of these things? In the last six months I have done all of these things and as yet the police haven’t brought me in for questioning.

Hear hear! What’s the world coming to when a chap can’t get into a simple public brawl without the police getting involved. I blame global warming.

Kindred spirit indeed steveh!! Well, apparently obesity is as big a threat as climate change, so we had better start having candlelight fasting rituals if we are to save ourselves and the planet!

Save the claptrap. I’m happy jumping on domestic flights, cramming my fridge full of fresh milk, boiling the kettle 20 times a day for tea, sitting in bright lights with the plasma TV blaring, and gorging on pounds of chocolate.

Typical big-state governments. They think no one has the intelligence to govern their own lives, but they themselves like to live in luxury. Reminds me of Communist Russia.

Although the current government are as nannying as possible, at least they haven’t quite got the power, yet, to invade our homes, unplug our TV sets and confiscate our cars…

So you’re doing it as well and you haven’t been arrested either. Not sure what the problem is then.

Reminds me of Communist Russia

Only without the thirty million dead, the show trials, deportations, famine or the complete absence of democracy.

at least they haven’t quite got the power, yet, to invade our homes, unplug our TV sets and confiscate our cars…

Is this a sneaky peek into the Tory election strategy? Vote Tory or Labour will unplug your telly and nick your car? Perhaps Mr Brown should have called that election after all.

.. I think the word is hectoring not nannying.
