The Anti Arty Farty Party …thoughts of an Ageing Hippy Highlander

Talk about one rule for the rich and one for the poor.

This stupid lassie took money that wasn’t hers to take and that is surely wrong but to send her to prison for 18 months is just ridiculous.

The bankers spend this kind of money on dinner for fucks sake! I don’t see many of the criminals recently exposed in the Great Banking Fiasco being sent to jail.

She didn’t even take a month’s worth of Fred the Shred’s MONTHLY pension FFS.

I was led to believe that jail was for those who are a danger to society — so what’s so dangerous about a pregnant 24 year old, albeit a greedy, thieving, pregnant 24 year old ?

I feel sorry for her as no doubt she’ll end up in Corntonvale with a shower of rogues, junkies and no hopers. I despair.

Why not simply order her to repay every single penny even if it takes her the rest of her life. Would seem like a more appropriate sanction to me. Take 10% of all earnings, at source, until the debt is paid.

Man stabbed at T music festival

clipped from news​.bbc​.co​.uk
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.

Stupid, but no big deal…

clipped from www​.independent​.co​.uk

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.

Wot’s all this then?

clipped from www​.dailymail​.co​.uk
Imagine a country where strangers have the right to ask intrusive questions and store the answers on a database.

I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when I read this.

If anyone needs any more proof that we’re drifting to a Police State then here it is.

This kind of “interviewing” of the young and vulnerable by the NannyNazis is bound to be abused by the over zealous.

So, your kid has an argument with you and later they get interviewed by some fucking social worker type who decides their quality of life is being affected…

…you know the rest, it’s already happened many times.

The Diversity Police Cometh

So a report has said that the print industry in the UK is not employing enough minorities and their workforces do not adequately reflect the make-​up of the population.

This could be good news for ugly lassies trying to get a job as a lap-​dancer as I’m convinced they don’t have a workforce that reflects the general population either!

Quotas need to be set so that the ugly and fat are not discriminated against by employers in the Adult Entertainment industry. And what about we blokes? There seems to be 100% discrimination against men working as lap-​dancers, it’s a disgrace of epic proportions.

Thought this was an appropriate image for such a serious subject

We’ve seen this kind of flawed thinking time and again.

Set quotas for women candidates in elections, more ethnic minorities in the Police, Fire Service etc etc.

Has it never occurred to the Diversity Police that perhaps members of the various minority groups they claim to be protecting may not be applying for jobs in these sectors?

We already have, quite rightly, very effective laws to protect people from racial or gender discrimination and if they need to be used then they should be rather than telling employers that they have to employ certain percentages of minorities.

And anyway why do industries have to have workforces that reflect society?

Should we make sure that we have the correct percentage of stupid people working as doctors? I suppose we’ve already achieved that with politicians.

I’m all for equal OPPORTUNITY but I can’t stand this kind of ignorant social engineering that ultimately sets one group against another by creating victims where there are none.
