Man stabbed at T music festival

A man has suffered multiple wounds after being stabbed at T in the Park, Scotland’s biggest music festival.

We haven’t gone for the last couple of years as the whole thing seems to have succumbed to the scourge of commercialism and to be honest the increase in the crowd capacity has just spoiled things.

This poor bugger has gone for a good time and ended up being stabbed - it’s very sad.

T Camping!!

Perhaps if the police spent a bit more time making sure the neds didn’t get in with blades rather than trying to stop those with a little bit of dope this would be less likely to happen.

I’ve never seen a stoned person commit a violent act but we have to remember who sponsors this event - Tennents.

I’m sure the police were just trying to make sure that everyone got pissed rather than stoned so that Tennents profits could be protected.

I’ve never felt threatened at T but the last time we went the place was awash with neds and chavs, particularly on the Sunday - I suppose they don’t have to bother with work on the Monday.

The place was littered with Buckfast bottles even with a ban on glass containers.

We live in a funny world don’t we?  Try to get a bit of blow in and the police dogs will be on you in a flash but it seems you can stroll in carrying blades and bottles without too much trouble.

I wonder if the Boys in Blue had their dogs backstage among the artists - I doubt it!

Don’t get me wrong, I still love T and will definitely be back when the line-up is worth it.  This year’s bunch are all the usual suspects - we’ve seen them all before, in some cases (Kaiser Chiefs) virtually ever year.

And no, I’m not advocating that everyone should be smoking dope but I am a libertarian and I believe that you should be able to choose what you do to your own body - I don’t see how this kind of distorted policing helps.  After all alcohol causes more problems than dope yet it’s promoted by society.

Alexander quits as Labour leader

Wendy Alexander has quit as Scottish Labour leader amid the row over donations to her leadership campaign.

What a shame!  She should have been prosecuted before she had the chance to resign.  And we need to ensure that criminals are not permitted to stand for public office in the future.  I’m sure the good people of Paisley are delighted that they’re represented by such a disgrace.

You only have to have a look at Paisley to see what generations of Labour rule have done for them - fuck all.

Sorry Folks, I won't put her mug on again!

Yet she continues to blame everyone else for her blatantly criminal behaviour.  She even admits that she broke the law put in place by her own administration!

But, of course, she “acted in good faith” - yea right!…

…just make that cheque for £995, no need to make it a round thousand!

The time has come for the Labour Party in Scotland to grow up and realise that they no longer run the show (for their own benefit).

So another leader needed - that’s going to be fun as they are ALL a shower of no-hopers and hangers-on.  We have Cathy Jamieson as interim leader - nuff said.

Stupid, but no big deal…

Smokers’ groups and manufacturers have condemned government proposals to clamp down on cigarette vending machines and packets of 10 in an attempt to stop children and young people smoking.”

The NannyNazis are rapidly running out of ideas in their campaign to “de-normalise“ smoking.

These latest ideas are just fucking daft. They won’t have any effect on youth smoking, other than to make it more appealing. It’ll be a challenge to get your hands on a packet of fags - and the guy with the fags will get “respect”.

I’ve never once said that smoking is a good thing, indeed I think we should use all the available existing laws to stop young people from buying tobacco.

Gee's a fag...

We have good enough laws in place - just enforce them. Any retailer found to be selling fags to minors should lose their licence to sell tobacco - no questions, no appeals just take the licence away. And the same goes for drink, by the way.

Scotland has increased the legal age to buy tobacco to 18 - good I say.  But once you reach 18 then you’re free to choose whether you smoke or not - in exactly the same way you decide to climb mountains or not or drive very fast motor bikes or not.

These are all risky activities but we should all have the choice about which risks we want to take in life.

As far as banning fag-machines is concerned I couldn’t give a fuck! They’re a complete rip-off anyway and I’d be delighted to see the greedy bastards who operate them out of business.

No branding? So what, I don’t smoke the packet so a plain white one is fine by me. Actually leaves more room to doodle on it - unless they cover it with pictures of dying people or diseased organs.

Many great inventions started as a scribble on the back of a fag packet!

Hiding them under the counter? Sounds OK to me…

…Or am I supposed to feel like a dirty old pervert when I go into a shop and surreptitiously ask for 20 in a plain bag please!

This is de-normalisation at work.

So no, I’m not one of the pro-smokers complaining about the latest ravings. I don’t care - these measures are bound to be completely pointless and will do nothing to stop youngsters seeing smoking as ‘cool’.

And anyway, how will they roll a decent joint with out some baccy.

Maybe they’ll just skin-up with pure grass instead - looks like it’ll be easier for them to get a hold of than tobacco.

Ban on drunken chat-up for thief

A convicted rapist who stole underwear has been banned for life from making sexual advances towards women while under the influence of alcohol.
blog it
I fucking love it!

Sorry, I don’t mean to trivialise the seriousness of mysoginistic crimes perpetrated by fuckwits like this.

I just wanted to point out what a stupid fucking order this sheriff handed down;

The Sexual Offences Prevention Order prohibits Allan for life…

from approaching any females who are not known to him whilst under the influence of alcohol and using sexualised and/or threatening behaviour towards them.”

So I take it it’s OK for him to do all of the above if he is not under the influence of alcohol?

If he doesn’t understand that this kind of behaviour is not acceptable then why is he not locked up?

Another NannyNazi Hypocrite

Alcohol expert given driving ban

A government alcohol abuse expert has been banned from driving after he was caught drink driving twice.
Just another example of an overpaid, idiot. Paid for with YOUR taxes.

This twat spends his time preaching to the great unwashed about the dangers of alcohol while getting pissed in his garden shed to avoid the wife, or so he claimed when police visited him following a report from a worried taxi driver.

Drunk Drivers

So he’s not just a hypocrite but a fucking liar to boot.

Good title BBC, he is indeed an alcohol expert…

…expert at drinking the stuff and then driving a car!

BTW he thinks it’s “ironic” that he finds himself in this position.

Ironic, my arse, it’s a fucking disgrace and he should be debarred from any public office or consultancy in the future.
