All of my life I have heard the left suggest that conservatives want to control what goes on in my bedroom. Meanwhile the left has infiltrated every room of my house as well as my garage.
–Commenter "czechlist," at WUWT
There was a young fellow from Ankara,
Who was a terrific wankerer.
"Till he sowed his wild oats,
With the help of a goat,
But he didn't even stop to thankera.
Not the greatest of poetic verse, but coming from someone who may one day be PM of an infamous Turkish great-grandfather (Ali Kemal), carries a little more weight than better written doggerel on this specific subject.
I actually prefer Douglas Murray's efforts on the subject.
Recep Erdogan is the Turk'll
Never tire of rim-jobs from his circle
Yet his chief-est delight
(Now Khilafa's in sight)
Are the felchings he gets from Frau Merkel
As for myself, I was never a one for the burlesque, but if the guys from the Turkish embassy are "kicking butt and taking names" then my only contribution is that Mr. Erdogan can go fuck himself with a cactus and if he doesn't have one to hand I am happy to supply it.
The federal government on Thursday banned the sale of e-cigarettes to anyone under the age of 18 and required manufacturers to disclose their ingredients and submit their products to the government for approval.
The Food and Drug Administration's action, which represents the first time the government has regulated the booming market of e-cigarettes, seeks to clamp down on devices that have become increasingly popular, especially among young people, even as they have been subject to almost no oversight.
The agency, which first said it intended to regulate e-cigarettes in 2014, also imposed the regulations on cigars, hookahs and pipe tobacco.
The effort is a response to long-standing concerns about what health experts call a "Wild West" atmosphere involving the multi-billion dollar e-cigarette industry. The battery-powered devices heat up flavoured, nicotine-laced liquid, turning it into a vapour that the user inhales, or "vapes.
Washington Post – The federal government is about to begin regulating the booming e-cigarette market
Not very surprising, because the absence of the dead hand of government regulation on the emerging vaping industry has long irritated governments, both in Washington, across the states and abroad.
Why should they steal customers from big tobacco and yet not kneel before the powers that be in Washington so that they can get their slice of the relatively lightly regulated and taxed vaping pie?
I smell the stale stench of big tobacco in this as well, for the vaping culture has cut into their US revenues and both big tobacco and local and state governments are losing out.
Key Pointers:
The long and the short of it is that by medicalising vaping they can put the brakes on an industry that they feel is under-regulated and under-taxed, and in so doing, slow down tax loses from tobacco revenues and appease the lobbyists of big tobacco.
This is all very well and not very surprising, but the problem with vaping is that the key ingredients of vaping fluid are fairly common-place, essentially propylene glycol or vegetable glycerine for the liquid, diluted nicotine and flavouring.
So excessive government intervention at this stage could probably lead to the entire industry going underground as home-made or black market manufacture. Given the pressure on tax revenues and from tobacco lobbyists I suspect that draconian is going to be the way to go for quite a while…
E-cigarettes are poised to be taxed at a higher rate across Europe, with France and two other nations calling for a minimum excise duty to be set at "the highest common denominator".
EU diplomats unanimously agreed a call for the European commission to prepare a legislative proposal by 2017, in a draft document seen by the Guardian that EU finance ministers will sign off at a meeting next Tuesday.
No proposal will be tabled until after an exhaustive process of impact studies, technical analyses and public consultations. But if these hurdles can be cleared, officials say that taxing Europe's growing vape industry could be desirable.
"There is an argument that it would be quite good to do something like minimum levels of excise duty for e-cigarettes. Member states could then decide whether to raise them higher or not," one official said. "At present they don't fall under excise duties like cigarettes, so maybe we would set a minimum threshold."
At least 57% of the price of a pack of cigarettes must come from excise duty under the UK's customs rules. Another 20% of the price comes from VAT, which Brussels has no powers to regulate.
I know, I know, ex-smokers are always the worst but FFS! a product which helps people avoid the worst carcinogens of tobacco whilst still getting their nicotine fix is being targeted by the EUrocrats for the simple reason that it is depleting tobacco taxation without providing matching taxation elsewhere.
It just goes to show that as well as being pariahs as far as the health lobby are concerned the statists just want to milk vapers for tax like the good Milch cows that they are.
The harassment of tobacco users through both the health nazis and the sin taxes on tobacco have been a big motivator for people to switch from tobacco to vaping as it is and both their health and pockets are better for it – cue the bitching from the statists as they are cut out of the loop and hence this draconian proposal.
Your average man-in-the-street who vapes is not going to pay £60 for something that currently retails at £9.99, nope. What they will do is go down to Abdul at the local corner shop who gets them for £200 for a thousand from China and then buy them under the counter for £10.
As for the vaping fluid itself, it is fairly simplistic to make, consisting of commonly available substances +nicotine +flavour enhancer. The current price of a 10ml vape liquid is £4 and is about equivalent to 80-100 cigarettes which would cost around £45 depending upon the brand.
Anyone who thinks that vapers will suddenly put up with getting stiffed for a 1,000% increase because of some bullshit about "equal treatment" is hallucinating. Nope, what will happen is that it will be manufactured locally and Abdul's corner shop will be flogging it for £5 once again.
Can we leave yet?
British men who use prostitutes while abroad on stag parties should be prosecuted in the UK under new laws that make paying for sex illegal, according to a report backed by a senior MP.
Sex tourists and businessmen who pay for prostitutes on expense accounts would also be criminalised under the proposals in the Sex Buyer Law report published today.
The report, commissioned for the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Prostitution by the campaigning group End Demand, says payment for sex in the UK should be made illegal and recommends Parliament "strongly considers" extending the offence to payments abroad.
Sex tourists who pay for prostitutes abroad 'should face prosecution in UK' (Independent)
So not only are we talking about the government proposing to turn the dynamics of the sex trade upside down and making what is already a grey area in UK law actually illegal (for the men so desperate for a shag that they have to lay out cold hard cash for it), but we are also going to criminalise that which other countries have already decriminalised and some of them (like Germany) only relatively recently.
How's that going to work then? PC Plod & co. outside the whorehouses of Old Amsterdam then? No. Thought not. Just because the US Government thinks they can get away with extra-territoriality (one of the worst aspects of good old British colonial justice), the UK's own Social Justice Warriors want a slice of the action.
Whilst this is allegedly meant to "help" your average streetwalker in that she can no longer get done by the police for soliciting (and therefore presumably no longer has to do "favours" for the boys in blue to turn a blind eye to her activities), what will not help her is if the "Johns" are too shit scared to approach her for fear of being arrested for what is already a somewhat fraught exchange at best.
As with drugs the current model of legalisation used in Holland and Germany strikes the right balance between allowing the ladies to go about their business in a non-threatening environment with tax being collected and their health being monitored.
The Swedish model does none of that, it simply persecutes the male (who are the primary purchasers of sex), without providing any other benefit in the name of "reducing demand" because of over-exaggerated claims of "sex trafficking".
The authors of this report, the All Party Parliamentary Group on Prostitution should be all given "a short drop and a sudden stop" preferably with hempen ropes, because it is the only way to stop this sort of bansturbating nonsense.
Christ on an electrically charged moped give me strength.
A meta-context is not a philosophy or a political belief, but rather the lens through which someone sees the world. It is a tradition of thought, a vibe, set of 'givens', the frames of reference within which questions are posed and answers found.
A person's prevailing meta-context has an enormous impact on the way they make decisions and evaluate evidence.
The house of delusions is cheap to build, but draughty to live in, and ready at any instant to fall
I was not born a libertarian (small 'l'), but became one through a process that can best be described as "painful self-enlightenment" over several years, which is I suspect the same for most of us.
There was one specific point though, something that I can best describe as my "Road to Damascus" experience that forever killed the tribal Labour voter I had been up until then, and that was the proposed introduction of ID cards into the UK by the Labour government of Tony Blair.
This fundamentally illiberal proposal (which was murdered by infanticide by the NO2ID campaign) left me with an undiluted hatred of both Labour and more generally of the state itself. Over the five years from 2005 to 2010 when it was finally repealed, my entire meta-context – the way I viewed the world changed from that of a typical centre-left socialist to what I would now describe as libertarian minarchist.
As Perry wrote in the article above, nearly 14 years ago, most of the arguments that we see taking place in the mainstream media exist only within the meta-context of "the state-is-society" and any views that are contrary to this are treated as insane or anarchistic.
Indeed, for many years (before reading Atlas Shrugged) I inaccurately used the label of "anarchist" as a self-descriptor as it seemed the only label that described my fundamental opposition to the state itself.
During these years I took great pains to remove myself from the system, acquiring an Irish passport through my mother (who was born in Ireland), rehousing my family back in my wife's homeland of Penang, Malaysia and for a while returning to live in Port Erin in the Isle of Man, which had been a refuge for my mothers family since they fled sectarian violence in Ireland during the late 1950′s.
All of this I did to express my outrage and attempt to repudiate the unfair claim that the British government had made over me, but it made me realise the meaning of liberty in its original sense and recognize the price that I would pay for my own personal sovereignty.
With hindsight, my actions were draconian and directly led to the alienation of my wife and child and various professional consequences that cause me problems to this day, but I still feel that I could not do anything other than I have done. It was a necessary evil done for the sake of my sanity and my soul.
The problem is that I am now left looking at a world which I no longer recognize nor really understand. It is like walking through the halls of Bedlam with everyone focussing upon their own delusions, from apocalyptic visions of climate change to the 3rd wave feminists and SJW's with their micro-dissection of perceived injustice.
I used to think that I was paranoid, but now I just feel that as a society Western civilisation has become complacent, corrupt and decadent. As with the last years of the Western Roman empire, we are beset by invaders without and traitors within…a combination that cannot last for long.
It seems to me that the meta-context of "the state-is-society" is fundamentally self-limiting, that in it's very nature of ever expanding growth and scope the state contains the seeds of its own destruction.
I wonder why others who are far more knowledgeable about history and far more intelligent than I cannot see the same thing. Is it not obvious? The only conclusion that I've come to is that they either have too much invested in the current system or see the outcome as inevitable.
So the shadows lengthen and darkness falls…
THE Swansea woman who posted a grossly offensive comment about Down's Syndrome on Facebook in a hate crime has been handed a suspended prison sentence.
Ursula Presgrave cut and pasted a comment from a website saying people with the condition should be put down – promoting what was described in court as a "tsunami" of responses online, including death threats.
Swansea Magistrates Court heard that people complained to South Wales Police about the message, and the 23-year-old was arrested.
Presgrave, of Talfan Road, Bonymaen, had previously pleaded guilty to sending an offensive message by means of a public communications network when she appears before justices today for sentencing.
Call Centre's Ursula Presgrave given suspended sentence for Facebook Down Syndrome comments
Is society going to collapse because a Z-List celebrity and newly inducted member of the hasbeenerati placed her foot in mouth and posted a comment on
LifeInvader sorry FaceBook that the perpetually offended are (quelle surpise) offended by? In short No.
How many children with Down's Syndrome were led to their deaths because of this woman? Zip. Zilch. Zero. Nil. None. The square root of sweet fuck all.
Ergo, who are her victims? what is the real crime here? because if we exclude the world of the SJW's, the 'Perpetually Offended of Tumblr Wells" then the only guidance that we can receive from this posting of Ursula Presgrave is that she is a narcissistic idiot. The last time I looked in the Hansard index, being an idiot was not a crime, more a state of being.
In all fairness, I am in favour of the exposure of idiots, indeed it is one of the great pleasures of modern society that idiots, like prophets are self-announced and seldom recognized in their own country.
Jeremy Corbyn is an idiot, still supporting the Marxist / Leninist diatribe despite 70-years of Communism clearly demonstrating that it doesn't work. Do we silence his monumental acts of idiocy over Trident or support for Hamas? No – we splatter it across the pages of the daily newspapers so that we can reveal his idiocy for all to see, we don't sentence Jeremy for having offensive views (certainly I find pretty much everything about Jeremy offensive), so where do we draw the line?
The common-or-garden idiot (also known as the female "lesser spotted tattooed fuckwit") in mating plumage
Are some kind of idiots worth saving because of prestige or is it only the common-or-garden idiot that needs to be ground into the dust? Maybe this is just elitism in another form? Jeremy Corbyn – another string to your bow perhaps?
In light of this, I think it is time to start a campaign, write to our MP's and let them know – the common-or-garden idiot should not be persecuted for its behaviour; it should be brought out into the sunshine and lauded for the depth of its ignorance and stupidity.
Save the Idiot!
Antony Flew cites an observation by Bertrand Russell, and an Islamic manifesto from the Islamic Council of Europe:
When in 1920 Bertrand Russell visited the
USSR — decades before the Politburo found it convenient
to present itself as the Protector of the Arabs — he discerned
similarities between Bolshevism and Islam: "Bolshevism
combines the characteristics of the French Revolution with
those of the rise of Islam"; and "Marx has taught that Com-
munism is fatally predestined to come about; this produces a
state of mind not unlike that of the early successors of Ma-
hommet." So Russell himself concluded:
Mahommedanism and Bolshevism are practical, social,
unspiritual, concerned to win the empire of this world
… What Mahommedanism did for the Arabs, Bolshev-
ism may do for the Russians.
As a clear, commendably honest and altogether authoritative
epitome of the totalitarian character of Islam consider this
manifesto issued in Leicester, England, on behalf of the Is-
lamic Council of Europe:
The religion of Islam embodies the final and most com-
plete word of God … Departmentalization of life into
different watertight compartments, religious and secu-
lar, sacred and profane, spiritual and material is ruled
out … Islam is not a religion in the Western under-
standing of the word. It is a faith and a way of life, a
religion and a social order, a doctrine and a code of
conduct, a set of values and principles, and a social
movement to realize them in history.
—–From "The Terror of Islam," 1995.
The home secretary, Theresa May, this week invited the biggest US internet firms and British telecoms providers to a meeting to seek their support for the legislation, officially known as the draft communications data bill.
The legislation is expected to include powers that will require firms to collect and store for 12 months the browsing history of users, along with records of voice calls, messages and text services. It might also require firms to give the police and security services access to the data.
But requirements to store browsing history can do nothing if the communications are encrypted, as are an increasing proportion of online services. More and more web surfing is done through a secure connection, represented on the web to the user by the https prefix in a browser address bar.
Now don't get me wrong, the chances are that the Home Secretary (equivalent to the Minister of the Interior / Homeland Security), may be either being really clever or really dumb. Given past experience of politicians I would go for the latter…in fact really, really dumb would be closer to the truth.
The reason why we have switched to more-and-more sites being https:// as opposed to http:// (i.e. unsecured) is more about being perceived to be secure than actually caring about being secure.
I remember having this conversation at my .com business in 1998 and the argument was along the lines of "If we switch from http:// to https:// we can bang on about how secure customer data is based upon it being encrypted rather than the fact we are flogging our customer mailing list to all and sundry for 40p a name".
Now don't get me wrong, those were cynical times and I was (and still am) a cynical person, even though I exited the Internet business in Autumn 2001.
Nevertheless, for a small but significant part of the population (i.e. those with > 50% of their brain functioning), they will object to Frau May's suggestion and indeed will ratchet up their encryption levels accordingly (as in continuously connecting to a non-UK VPN as I and many others already do to bypass such draconian intrusion).
Those who are in the terrorist business already will be using 'alternative means' of communication anyway, so the only people likely to be caught out by this are the idiotic self-radicalised Muslims who are looking to bomb their way to paradise and a golden palace filled with virgins (gender unspecified).
I wonder how long it will take for some crowd sourced app site to come up with "F*ckTheSnoopers" app, which generates 10,000 fake URL requests for every real one, whereby actual activity would be drowned out by a dense fog of noise and bullshit.

Well, dear Reader, from the title you would be justified in wondering whether Fossil Fuels even have ethics. Are FF's conscious? Can they think? Are they more Platonic or Aristotelian, or perhaps even Hegelian in their metaphysics?
In this little number, Alex Epstein — a former fellow of the Ayn Rand Institute and the founder of the Center for Industrial Progress, a think-tank thinking about energy resources — debates one Bill McKibben, sometimes said to be on the same plane of Enviroloonyism as the Bore.
I present this not because I think you will wish to watch the whole thing (unless you are into masochism), nor because I think Mr. Epstein, be his heart every so rightly placed, is the greatest debater since Socrates or somebody (he could learn a lot from James O'Keefe), but because I am genuinely interested in whether Mr. McKibben's performance strikes you as it does me. It might take you a mere 10 minutes, or maybe half an hour, of watching and hearing the man. If no one cares to commit his gut reaction to pixels, I will tell you what I made of the McK performance, in a day or two.

"Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always."
- Mohandas K. Gandhi
Unlike some members of this parish who maintain a pretty pessimistic view on life, I've always been an optimist, a "glass is half-full" kind of guy. Why this is the case I couldn't tell you, partly hormones I guess, partly genetics, mostly just having the ability to shake of the blues, look out of the window and say "Let's Go!".
This is also why, when people worry about the ever more draconian laws and regulations being passed by their legislatures, the security diktats of their executive or boundary creep of their judiciary, I just smile and nod, because we've been here before, time after time and whilst periods of collective totalitarianism do occasionally arise, they always contain within themselves the seeds of their own destruction.
Regimes, like the Nazis under Hitler or Mussolini's Italian fascists tend to be based upon the cult of personality and when the leader is dead, everything else will wither away too, soon enough.
A modern example of this in progress is Zimbabwe under Robert Mugabe. The man is a classic kleptocratic tyrant who is largely maintained in place by those tainted by their own actions during the civil war and throughout his long tenure as de facto dictator.
Mugabe's underlings know full well that after his inevitable death (he's 91 after all), there is little likelihood of a smooth transfer of power to another of his lieutenants and certainly not to his fucking wife (as Mugabe himself has suggested). The likelihood is that after his death they will be on the run, either from their own compatriots or from the long arm of the law.
Socialist regimes tend to be different, in that although they are often lead (initially) by charismatic
leaders nut cases (Lenin, Castro et al), their underlying support is collective.
Soviet leaders after Stalin were fairly representative of this "representative of the collective" model leader, with each one somehow older, sicker and more lacklustre than the last until Mikhail Gorbachev, whose idealistic reforms brought the whole thing crashing down.
Could such regimes exist in the West during our lifetime? Possibly.
Certainly the European Union is more similar to the Soviet Union of old than the chrysalis of an emerging "United States of Europe", but as Stalin once quipped of the Pope "How many divisions has he got?"
Whilst the European Union is deprived of military capability and real economic and political power, it will remain as little more than a retirement home for failed European politicians and a gravy train for bureaucrats.
As for the United States, I'm not so sure. Their civil and provincial police forces appear to me more akin to South American paramilitary units than coppers applying the "Peelian Principles" of coppering (certainly as Sam Vimes would appreciate it), which seems to demonstrate the point that the US government is more afraid of an uprising of its own people than real "enemies, both foreign and domestic".
As I say in the title though, ultimately freedom is a state of mind and with all of their draconian laws, re-education camps and killing fields, freedom of the individual is a flame that is hard to quench and as the fall of the Berlin Wall demonstrated, once freedom is let loose once more it burns brighter than ever.
This is why in a world filled with those who hate us and collectives that would restrain, imprison or murder us, I still have hope for the future, because the future will not be theirs, it will be ours.
The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers."

Unfortunately they're doing it wrong.
For once Residents Action on Fylde Fracking and I have something in common. Sort of.
Who is Halite? Once calling themselves Canatxx they are the people who want to store pressurised gas in salt caverns slap bang in the middle of a geologically unstable area, full of brine wells, a collapsed salt mine and geological faults, in my neck of the woods. The YouTube video I have linked to will explain why 40,000 local residents have been fighting for years to resist this insanity.
There are no weasel words like might or could or maybe. Brine wells at Preesall have collapsed in the past and one is in the process of collapsing. The depression in the ground is growing fast and an entire field has been lost to it already Another well is filled with God knows how many tons of mercury sludge courtesy of the now departed ICI. Just image what will happen to the water table if that bad boy collapsed. And Halite want to store pressurised gas right next to the brine well field. Let's not forget the partially collapsed salt mine. And did I mention the natural faults that gas can migrate along? Well it needs saying over and over.
Anti-fracking campaigners have reacted with anger and frustration at a Government decision to allow a controversial gas storage facility on the Fylde Coast.
And I agree with their reaction. Three applications from Canatxx/Halite have been rejected by local government because of the real danger of catastrophe yet some cretin in central government has given the green light to this insanity.
Energy minister Lord Bourne has, on appeal, granted permission to Halite to create a huge underground gas store in salt caverns at Preesall despite three rejections of the plan and massive public opposition.
Now residents and campaigners opposing shale gas say that decision by the Department of Energy and Climate Change was undemocratic and bodes ill for their own battle against energy company Cuadrilla.
But this is where my strange comradeship with RAFF and their associate anti-fracking groups parts way. You see their "protest" appears to be purely selfish. They don't seem to care about the real dangers of the Halite proposal. They only seem to care about how it will affect their own cause and how they can exploit it.
Two bids by Cuadrilla to test frack on the Fylde were rejected last month by Lancashire County Council, but the shale gas explorer could yet appeal to a Government inspector.
It's not about Halite, you see. It's about Cuadrilla and the appeal they will no doubt be submitting. A real danger has been hijacked to support an anti-capitalist cause that really would benefit all if fracking were permitted to go ahead. That really piddles me off.
Barbara Richardson, from the Roseacre Awareness Group, said: "We are appalled by this decision to overrule local democracy and fear that Westminster will try and intervene in the fracking debate too against the wishes of the people and elected representatives.
What Barbara doesn't tell you is that Mike Hill, who was campaigning on an anti-fracking ticket, was wiped out during the GE by the Tory incumbent who I believe is actually pro fracking. It seems that democracy is something of a loose concept in Barbara's world. At this point I will add that the proposed Roseacre site is highly problematical because access will be a nightmare and Barbara does have a point. However there is no such problem with the Plumpton proposal which I support and Barbara doesn't. She is opposed to fracking absolutely.
"We elect local councillors (parish, borough and county) to represent us and this is democracy in action. Local people understand local issues and the will of the people.
Yeah, I saw how the craven sods at Lancashire County Council were cowed by a few tens of anti-fracking protestors and voted against the advice of their own legal department. Democracy my left nether cheek. Perhaps you think the 40,000 plus local residents fighting the Halite plans can be co-opted by proxy to your own cause, eh Barbara?
"To blatantly ignore this is sheer arrogance and a recipe for disaster. We will stand with the people of the Wyre.
That'll be a "yes" then.
"They have spent years to successfully defeat this, with good grounds, and even had the support of the Planning Inspector as well as local councils. They must be absolutely devastated.
We are devastated and we are still fighting. But Barbara, where were you and your pals all those years we were fighting Canatxx? How come we get your support now?
"Fracking is an altogether different game as it could affect over 60 per cent of the UK, and should Westminster intervene again, I am sure it will have serious repercussions."
Whereas gas storage is a dangerous game and has the real potential to affect more than 60% of the residents of Fleetwood, Knott End, Presall, Stalmine, Steynall and parts of Thornton if the storage caverns rupture following the collapse of a brine well (it has already happened in the US which is why storage of the type proposed for Preesall has been banned in the US on safety grounds), the gas escapes and finds an ignition source. All thanks to Westminster intervention.
All that seems to bother Barbara is the precedent set by overturning a decision made by local government.
Alan Tootill, from the Preston New Road Action Group, said: "This confirms our worst fears.
"This government has no concern for local democracy and local decision-making.
"Over 40,000 people objected to the Preesall applications and three times the plans were turned down at local level.
I didn't hear your voice raised against the initial Canatxx/Halite proposals either Alan. I don't recall you standing up at the many meetings and voicing your concern.
There is also a familiar name mentioned in dispatches. You'll find her in the comments below the Mike Hill post.
Tina Rothery, from Residents Action of Fylde Fracking, said: "It is awful news not just for the people of Wyre but for the rights of local people anywhere in the UK.
"That central government can overrule the clear will of the people and their Council that has three times rejected this application, makes a mockery of our 'democracy'.
"Many of us have been fighting to keep fracking out of Lancashire for nearly four years now and the recent support of Lancashire County Council was very welcome; with this announcement today though at the overturning of the decision on Halite, we are of course deeply concerned about what will happen next in this campaign as well.
See what I mean? They've tagged on their anti-fracking campaign to the Halite fight. I know Tina by sight having seen her on TV and in the papers several times but I don't recall seeing her at the Stop Canatxx meetings either. All of a sudden the Canatxx/Halite cause has become the No Fracking cause. At least in the anti-fracking eyes.
Friends of the Earth energy campaigner Tony Bosworth said: 'This decision raises big questions about the Government's commitment to local democracy because this facility was turned down several times before Westminster stepped in to make it happen.
Then maybe Friends of the Earth ought to hand back the millions in taxpayer money, whether taxpayers agreed with it or not, that has been handed to FoE by various governments over the years. It's obviously a matter of principal after all. But I guess, like Barbara, your perception of democracy only goes so far, eh, Tony?
"This must not be repeated in order to force fracking on Lancashire after the county refused to swallow the hype from central Government and the fracking industry."
"This must not be repeated in order to refuse fracking on Lancashire after the county swallowed the hype from minority anti-frackers and the Big Green industry."
There, fixed it.
Energy and Climate Change Minister Lord Bourne, who is the Minister responsible for energy planning consents, said the Halite plan was strategically important for the nation.
Yeah, because what the Scammell truck would a Professor of Law know about geological faults, collapsed mines. the unsuitability of layered salt beds, unsafe brine wells and other unimportant shit that affects the lives and safety of tens of thousands of locals? Oh and we're considered an area of Special Scientific Interest too because of the rare fauna and flora living in and around Morecambe Bay which will be grossly affected by the brine outfall. Why, after so many years, has central government, after even that towering intellect, John Prescott, recognised the serious flaw in Canatxx/Halite's planning applications, suddenly made this perverse decision? Well I have a theory.
Wyre has been a marginal seat for a long time. Since 1997 it has been tinkered with twice which gave us Hilton Dawson (Lab) a decent MP who worked hard for the constituency before resigning and returning home to his native Northumberland. Then came Ben Wallace (Con) who also fought hard on the Canatxx front and moved over to the newly created Wyre and Preston North in 2010. Despite Labour stacking the boundary decks in its favour we got Eric Ollerenshaw (Con) clinging to his seat by the skin of his marginal teeth, only ever rebelling (well abstaining really) against the Tory whip once but who still recognised the dangers posed by the gas storage proposal and added his effort to the fight against corporate venality and stupidity.
Then in May, 2015 we get Cat Smith (Lab) also on the slimmest of majorities, with her BA in sociology and gender studies who, while paying lip service to both the anti-Halite and anti-fracking camps, clearly hasn't got a bloody clue what she's talking about. Perhaps, once in a while, when she isn't too busy identifying herself as a Christian, socialist, feminist, republican, trade unionist and LGBT, she'll pick up and read The Idiot's Guide to Wyre Estuary Geology so she doesn't look a total fool and will finally be able to tell the difference between a landslide and a great big Scammell off sinkhole. Meanwhile we get the
standard leftie gobshite response to Lord Bourne's decision by calling for the "launch of a new action" and "seeking urgent clarification" rather than going up to the idiot and hitting him with FACTS. But then she did previously work for Jezza Corbyn so she quite possibly has a good grounding in political stupid.
And my theory? Well Lord Bourne has nasty previous when it comes to the opposition. He plays very dirty tricks and then lies about what he's done before being forced to come clean. Ask Rhodri Morgan. Lord Bourne got handed this particular chalice when it turned out that Amber Rudd's brother , Roland, heads a lobbying company, Finsbury, that numbers Halite amongst its clients. Given Bourne's scandalous history could the recently tinkered with constituency returning a Labour MP be an underlying reason for his perverse, against all common sense decision? I think we should be told.
Here's the "offical" reason for the decision.
He said: "Investment in new energy infrastructure is essential if we are to keep the lights on and bills down.
"This is a major project which will benefit the local economy by creating jobs and stimulating businesses.
Yes, we've seen how central government keeps the bills down with bills hiked up to feed the heavily subsidised and deeply despised renewables monster. As for the local economy, destruction of the environment aside, there may be a temporary injection of jobs to construct the storage caverns and build a pipeline to connect with the main grid at Garstang. But honestly, long term, how many people will it take to press a button at the control station in order to release or store gas? Three hundred? Four hundred? Try a handful.
What is the impact of millions of gallons of concentrated brine that Halite propose to pump into the sea off Anchorsholme as they carve holes in the salt? What will happen if the geology ruptures a cavern and the project goes sky high tits up? The infrastructure to deal with an explosion doesn't exist. There are mainly small villages and narrow country lanes in this part of the world. That is providing, of course that no structure damaged in the blast doesn't block those narrow country lanes and blocks access to the grossly inadequate emergency services.
Oh and the storage capacity that Halite proposes will give a close to zero contribution to keeping the lights on. Selling the gas back to the grid at premium rates will keep bills down how? The man is a moral bankrupt and a weapons grade pudendum
"Gas is also the greenest fossil fuel and helps us lower our carbon emissions, which is important in the UK's move to a cleaner energy future."
I agree but what would be the point of pumping gas from underground only to pump it back underground? The only people to benefit from storage is Halite who will buy cheap and sell at a premium rate at great risk to the locals. Halite propose to do it here because back in their native US they would be given very short shrift. You see storing gas in layered salt, most particularly anywhere near a field of brine wells (we have more than a hundred of them), is banned because it is demonstrably unsafe and a threat to life. Is that what Bourne calls stimulating businesses?
And if he really believes that gas is the greenest fossil fuel will he be insisting that the Drax power station will be converted to gas instead of burning CO2 producing wood pellets from felled US forests?
No? Thought not.
You would think that politicians large and small would have enough incentive not to make utter fools of themselves before national audiences on TV or the front pages of national and even local rags, but evidence suggests not – hyperbole before idiocy it seems.
I've never been involved in the legislative process, only in the attempted implementation and enforcement of pollution legislation for Her Majesty's inspectorate of Pollution (HMIP) as an IT consultant back in the early 90′s, but one of the most important aspects of any proposal must surely be not to propose legislation which is unenforceable. Surely?
The passage of unenforceable laws (such as the various alcohol/drug/gambling prohibitions in the US) or laws which can be easily circumvented/ignored (censorship/licensing of pornography for example) end up bringing the law as a whole into disrepute.
When police officers are catching bank robbers and muggers they have the support of the law-abiding majority, but when they end up as petty enforcers of public morality or expression then such widespread public support is lost.
Take David Cameron and his idiotic "ISIS use encryption, therefore lets ban all encryption" viewpoint. Even the most cursory understanding of how the internet works would make you realise that such a proposal if implemented would mean the end of internet eCommerce in the UK, to highlight just a single instance.
The only purpose of such unworkable schemes seems to be to lay the groundwork for ever more draconian (and expensive) monitoring regimes which either never work or are so intrusive that people go elsewhere.
One insider at a major US technology firm told the Guardian that "politicians are fond of asking why it is that tech companies don't base themselves in the UK".
"I think if you're saying that encryption is the problem, at a time when consumers and businesses see encryption as a very necessary part of trust online, that's a very indicative point of view."
Maybe I am being naïve, but the only beneficiaries of this sort of thing are civil service bureaucrats and the massive IT and outsourcing companies which win the contracts to implement all this crap.
The price of a pack of 20 cigarettes could reach £15 by 2020, suggests a report by the Independent Cancer Taskforce.
A pack of 20 ciggies currently comes with a £9-10 price tag, but guidance from the report's 'six priorities' suggest a cost increase.
Setting the nanny state healthcare diktat aside, I can think of nothing worse for UK customs evasion than the current moves towards plain packaging and draconian cigarette duties. Presumably the view of the health lobby is anyone who pays £15 ($23.40 USD, $31.74 AUD) for a pack of 20 cigarettes is an idiot anyway, but this simply exposes the ignorance and patronizing attitude of the health lobby itself.
Detailed studies of the impact of cigarette taxes going back to the 1920′s and 30′s have shown that when cigarette taxes rise disproportionate to the surrounding states then smuggling rises and total revenue collected falls, this can occur even when the marginal duty rise is quite slight if the rise breaches the revenue maximising point on the taxes notional "Laffer curve".
The New York Times reported in 1938 that opponents of the tax argued that two types of "border activity" would result from imposing taxes on cigarettes.
The first, border shopping, occurs when consumers purchase cigarettes directly from retailers in low-tax jurisdictions. The second, cigarette bootlegging, occurs when criminals illegally transport cigarettes from a low-tax to a hightax jurisdiction to expropriate the tax differential.
The warnings from the 1930s turned out to be highly prescient: both of those types of border activity soared in subsequent decades as cigarette taxes in New York rose.
Cigarette Taxes, Black Markets, and Crime – Lessons from New York's 50-Year Losing Battle
As part of the never ending escalation against smuggling ever more sophisticated duty labels came into use along with more draconian enforcement against personal-use, small-scale and wholesale (criminal) smuggling – all of which costs and behavioural changes are seldom mentioned by the proponents of higher taxes.
Smugglers have traditionally tried to source original, foreign market replacements as illustrated by French, Spanish, Polish warning labels on smuggled packets. However, higher margins can be obtained if they can successfully pass-off off their own packed-and-packaged counterfeit cigarettes as home market originals.
So something costing 30 pence per packet to manufacture, filled with higher toxicity "chop-chop" tobacco will flood the streets and more disreputable corner shops. Even at half the £15 per pack price of the duty-paid originals, they will sell like hot cakes.
None of that revenue will go to the exchequer and overall the health of smokers will be worse as they will be smoking cigarettes with higher tar, particulates and carcinogens than duty-paid originals.
My conclusion – The health lobby really hates smokers and wants to kill more of them faster while depleting the treasury. I bet you won't find that anywhere in their report.
In this fight to retain our freedom, which is the root of the Garland flap, Shari'ah Law and Islamicisation of the West are the adversary. But the principles for which we fight are just as much if not more at risk in the project to Fundamentally Transform the Whole World into some Marxist-Leninist-Progressivist nightmare, and the means by which we fight Islamicisation are to be applied also in this other, all-encompassing fight.
As for the present instance: If we held such events as "Draw Mohammed" every month (but responsibly, as the Garland event was held); if we met every attempt at intimidation by being unimpressed, for instance if our own papers had published the Danish cartoons; such actions would show our enemies that we mean what we say, we will stick by it, we will stand by our principles and defend them in word and deed. If the enemy then wants to impose his will on us by force, by terrorism and war, he will have at least some evidence that we will not run from the fight, fearfully and virtuously clucking our disapproval of it.
With luck he might conjecture that while we would prefer not to meet force with force, we certainly will do so if it is necessary in order for us to live our lives as free men and women and not as serfs or slaves who are at the disposal of other human beings and who are allowed to exist only at their pleasure; and that if we are forced to war in self-defense, we have more than enough strength of will to prevail.
In the '30′s, Britain and France telegraphed their reluctance to face the facts and to defend themselves against force with force. The guy with the moustache picked up the message and calculated that he could get away with it…and almost did.
How many times must we repeat the same mistake!

Examining today's available disk backup solutions
Brien Posey discusses the variety of disk backup solutions available today in this Expert Answer.
This Article Covers
Disk backup
Can you outline the various types of disk backup options available today and explain how they differ from each other?
A virtual tape library is a backup solution in which disk-based storage (typically a SATA or SAS array) is virtualized and presented as tape storage. Virtual tape libraries offer three main advantages. First, they work with almost any existing backup software since the storage media is presented as tape. Second, virtual tape libraries offer better performance than tape because data is being written to disk. Third, virtual tape libraries eliminate the problems commonly associated with streaming data to tape. Although it is common to make a second copy of a virtual tape library's contents on tape, doing so is typically more efficient than backing the original data sources up to tape directly because the data is being read from a centralized storage location.
Free Download: Drill down into today's new backup approaches
Due to the features of most modern backup software – which include snapshot management, DR elements, cloud support, VM protection – backups can do so much more than simply restoring data in the event of a storage or server failure. Download this guide and not only discover the latest upgrades to today's top enterprise backup vendors, but also learn where backup software works best in your computing environment.

Deduplication arrays are storage arrays that are specifically designed for backup and recovery purposes. These devices use deduplication to maximize the amount of data that can be stored, and typically also include load-balancing features designed to maximize data throughput. Deduplication arrays may also support hardware-level replication as a way of protecting against failure. However, these devices typically don't emulate tape drives like a VTL. This is less of an issue today, as newer backup software platforms can write data directly to disk.
Integrated backup appliances are systems that offer a deduplicated storage pool with backup software and a media server in one device. These appliances are designed to be entirely self-contained, which allows them to be plugged into the network and rapidly deployed. Because they are self-contained and run hardware and software provided by a single vendor, troubleshooting problems tends to be comparatively easy. Critics of integrated appliances say these systems are not as scalable as other systems and vendor lock-in can also be an issue.

The Soundscape music festival hits Hamilton again this Saturday and among the more than 40 acts performing are Hamilton duo Aum.
Aum comprises of Jeremy Graham and Daryl Turner, and unlike other DJs, all their music to be played at Soundscape was created by them.
The pair, both in traditional bands before they got involved with electronic music, will also incorporate live instruments into their set, sometimes playing the guitar or keys along with pre-recorded tracks.
Soundscape, R18, will close off part of Alexandra St with acts performing on seven stages in surrounding nightclubs and on the street. It will be Aum's first live gig for a while, as Graham has been in Ireland and returned only recently.
Graham and Turner met while studying music production at Wintec and began making music together, first playing electric and bass guitars in a psychedelic dub band in 2006, then after a two-year hiatus the duo were inspired to move into the broad genre of electronic music. In 2009 they released their debut LP Aletheia.
Their distinct sound varies from ambient works, to chilled-out downbeat, to dubstep and drum and bass.
''In a nutshell it's ambient kind of stuff, rolling funky drums and of course the sub bass and then what we put around that depends on our mood at the time. I played keys and the bass guitar for years and so those elements often come into it as well,'' said Graham.
''We are originally musicians and we wanted to make a live show of only our stuff. What we try to do is half way between DJing and playing live music. That extra live element means there is an element of improv as well.''
The last Soundscape, held in March sold out with 3900 attending but organiser Greg Stack said this had the potential to be the biggest Soundscape yet, with 4500 tickets up for grabs. Organisers have also secured an extended 4am liquor licence.
''We are really happy with the support from the council. We always thought council was there to support events coming to the city and they have proven that by helping us.''
Mr Stack said this was the first Soundscape where they were pushing live music and one of the highlights would be a rare acoustic set performed by Tiki Taane who would also MC over DJ Downtown Brown. There are also international acts such as Dem Slackers (Netherlands), DLR and Octane (UK), as well as big national names like Aural Trash and Sam Hill.
- Soundscape, Saturday July 16, tickets $20 for a first-release ticket, $30 for a second release, from iticket and Texas Radio. Students $15 from Waikato Student Union

Linux Top 3: Red Hat Enterprise Linux and KDE Updates as Puppy Goes Woof
1) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.10
Red Hat first introduced Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL) in 2007 and has been updating it ever since. RHEL 5 is now technically in what Red Hat refers to as Production Phase 2 which is a phase in which stability and not new functionality additions are paramount.
"We elected to help preserve the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 customer base's investment in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and open-source databases by updating from MySQL 5.0x to MySQL 5.5, which was the most stable version available during the development window for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.10," Ron Pacheco, senior manager, platform product management at Red Hat said.
2) Puppy Linux
Puppy Linux is a well known and love small footprint Linux distribution created by Barry Kauler. Kauler announced this past week that he's nearing the end of the road for his involvement after a ten year run.
The plan is for Kauler to put Puppy into a maintenance mode for a period of time.
"Maintenance mode" means that I will continue to work on Woof, but just focused on essential fixes, rather than any new features," Kauler wrote in a blog post."I will likely keep my "hand in", doing some Puppy-related things."
One of those Puppy related ideas, is the creation of a Debian package that could transform an Ubuntu installation into something that is more Puppy-like.
"It would be nice to have one DEB to transform the user interface to a close-to-Puppy experience," Kauler wrote.
3) KDE updates
The KDE open source desktop project has updated its namesake desktop to version 4.11.2. The update is a bug fix and stability release.
"More than 70 recorded bugfixes include improvements to the Window Manager KWin, the file manager Dolphin, the personal information management suite Kontact, and others," the release announcement stated. "There are many stability fixes and the usual additions of translations."

Why Alber Elbaz's New Collab Gives Him (And Us!) "Happy Eyes"
As part of his ongoing effort to make your life a beautiful, happy fashion wonderland, Alber Elbaz is teaming up with Lancôme for his first-ever makeup line. The collection, Hypnôse Show, comes with a super-cute special packaging in the spirit of his uncanny ability to make even the most high-end of brands like Lanvin seem approachable and fun.
This collection will include mascaras, eyeshadow palettes, and false eyelashes. "After school, I moved to New York, and every time I would go back home I would stop at Lancôme and buy my mom a gift," Elbaz told WWD. And, that's when things got weird, in a really great way. While explaining how he originally envisioned his contribution to cosmetics, the designer recalled a memory of holidays past: "Once I was in a fancy place where there was this group of people that were all shining. The shoes were shining, the hair was shining, the skin, watches and diamonds — but the eyes were not shining," he said. "I thought if I were to do a project I would love to do a 'happy eye' project to make the eyes shine."
If that's not Proustian, we don't know what is. Either way, this one's on our beauty shopping list when it comes out this June.

Go outdoors really are trying to be competitive and give you the best price for your product. I wanted a carpet for the Icarus 500. I found it cheaper at Blacks, Go outdoors as they guarantee to beat the price by 10 %. Fired an e-mail to Go outdoors support team and they checked the detail, e-mailed me with my new price. Point to note this was already on top of the discounted offer price. So a real bargain. Make sure you compare prices you can save money.

Three months after the site was acquired in a bankruptcy auction, LNT.com is back in business. Besides bedding and bath products, the new site features pet supplies, baby gear and luggage.
The e-commerce site of Linens 'N' Things, LNT.com, officially relaunched today, three months after it was acquired in a bankruptcy auction.
Besides bedding and bath products, the new site features pet supplies, baby gear and luggage. The site also offers a 10% grand opening discount on orders over $50 and free shipping on purchases of $99 or more.
Gordon Brothers Brands LLC and Hilco Consumer Capital L.P. purchased in February the intellectual property assets of Linens 'N' Things, including the LNT.com web site and other Internet domains owned by the retailer, which declared bankruptcy in May 2008.
The LNT.com web site ceased operations in mid-February, then quietly started up again about a month later, says Carlyle Coutinho, vice president of operations for Hilco.
"It was a soft launch, we weren't doing any real marketing, just testing the site, letting consumers do commerce and increasing the number of vendors," he says. "We're officially relaunching today and starting our marketing campaigns." Those campaigns will include e-mail marketing to the more than 3 million consumers on the Linens 'N' Things e-mail list.
The new site operates on a platform provided by TorreyCommerce, an outsourced provider of e-commerce technology primarily for retailers and manufacturers that market to women. GSI Commerce previously had provided the e-commerce platform for LNT.com.
Semantic search can grasp the intent of the consumer, but it requires a retailer to ...
