Bitchman's planning on making celebrating Guy Fawkes a hate crime and banning fireworks. She's also going to ban hospitals from treating people with firework-related injuries - it's a lifestyle choice. Insiders say she wants to bring back hanging, drawing and quartering.
Whats your reference for "She's also going to ban hospitals from treating people with firework-related injuries - it's a lifestyle choice."?

"Insiders say she wants to bring back hanging, drawing and quartering."
Lol Thats funny but obviously untrue... erm or rather unproven?
Joke: a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline.
So, neither is true or referencable?
Not having a go at you. I just hoped you had something that I'd missed that proved what a **** she is. Because you are far better than me at sifting the media.

Tip: don't pick a burger until you get the email. I picked the middle one last night because I couldn't wait and luckily I got the triple. I could have picked the vegetarian crap if I was unlucky!

Every time I hear the name King Charles the Third, I cast my mind back to the 17th century and think, who was he? :lol:

Never heard this song before, from 1969, or even of Blue Mink, but I like it. :D

Imagine the song being released today. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Take a pinch of white man
Wrap him up in black skin
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty bit of red Indian boy
Oh like a Curly Latin kinkies
Oh Lordy, Lordy, mixed with yellow Chinkees, yeah
You know you lump it all together
And you got a recipe for a get along scene
Oh what a beautiful dream
If it could only come true, you know, you know

What we need is a great big melting pot...

That's a proper throwback. It was a proper song at the time.
It's all about intent with this stuff and I have no doubt that song came from an inclusive mentality.
Sadly intent is invisible and the lyrics are there to be interpreted as people wish for their own agenda.
But yes, I'm all for a beige humanity. Imagine how difficult it would be for racists!!! :lol: "Can I see your passport before I thump you for no reason?". :lol:

It's a bit blustery outside. The cat was almost blown off her feet by a gust!

I've started watching The IT Crowd. It took three episodes before I realised the guy with black curly hair is from the HSBC adverts. :lol:

I was travelling back home yesterday from my sisters place in Sussex and met an engineer I use to work with many years ago, he now works for a company involved with tidal energy turbines and finding more durable materials to expand the life of underwater turbines, he was off to Cambridge for a meeting. But what he told me though about energy renewables and climate change, rocked me to the core.

He told me in 1960 the world population was approximately 3 billion people, by 1999 this had risen to 6 billion people, and the world population currently stands at 8 billion people, although population growth rates are falling there is still expected to be 10 billion people on the planet around 2050,

The problem he continued is the demand for energy increases proportionally with population, regardless of what we do renewables are just keeping pace with their percentage of energy per population growth and with this in mind the dependency on fossil fuels has grown 6 fold since 1960 and is not expected to drop by 2050.

So regardless of Greta Thunberg, JSO or Extinction Rebellion, unless someone comes up quickly with a miracle such as nuclear fusion, or fast track nuclear fission reactors, or, solar energy from space, we are all a bit f**ked.

The only good news is Thunberg wants to sue past generations for climate change, in about 12 years half the worlds population would have been born after 2000, so she would have to sue half her own arse.

You don't expect Greta and 'The Kids' to be logical in their demands, do you?!
