A Grin From The Den….....
MommaBear must admit that she did quietly smile after reading Andrew’s commentary about the so-called ‘rules for women’ post, which, in turn reminded her of a rather humorous bit that occurred whilst she and PoppaBear were in Scotland for a month during one summer.
. . . . . . . . .
set scene
...almost midnight on a Scottish summer evening, meaning really still only twilight…
a lovely barbecue, by invitation, only, set in the countryside; almost 150 people,
...no access to ‘public/private facilities’, so provision is made by digging a standard latrine trench, but, to dress it up, an old seat/bowl from a discarded toilet is placed on planks over the trench and tarps hung round for privacy, sort of…highway department warning lantern hung over door for a wee bit of light and mark it for location, complete with sign designating ‘this loo for women only’... [btw, the men got only an opening in the privet hedge]
The daughter of a friend was deemed old enough to attend this special annual get-together for the first time, but when she asked her Mom about ‘how to use it’, this was the answer she got:
...well, you go in and sit down and do what you usually do, then you stand up and make a swishing sound of the water going down, arrange your clothing, and come out…

Blood & Soil is the name of a chilling article about the anti-human (aka animal rights) movement and its descent into violence. Ends with this little ditty from the head of PETA:
“Six million Jews died in concentration camps, but six billion broiler chickens will die this year in slaughter houses.”
Nice, isn’t it? Dead Jews are no more important than the chicken we eat every year. Not really a surprise, since these groups’ actions ape the Nazis. The Nazis were radical in their enviromentalism, and many of its leaders were vegetarians or vegans.
Jan Arild Snoen should be commended for exposing the nasty side of the so-called “animal rights” activists. First Pim Fortuyn, then, who knows; these loons might actually find it in their twisted hearts to co-operate with someone like Al Queda to return the earth to a “simpler time”. Maybe they can meet up with Al Queda at the same meeting where you will find those idiot Christian so-called “pacifists” who are praying for America’s defeat, like the scumbag mentioned here.

Wimbledon Fortnight is a time when it is amusing to be in London. Not because of the tennis, a sport that bores me as much as any other, but for the weather. The locals assume that it will pour most of the second week of the tournament, and it duly does. One wonders is this because: 1. God has a sense of humour; 2. God listens to the British public’s assumptions and does not want to disappoint; 3. Because the entire nation believes it will happen, it does (self-fulfilling prophecy); 4. The government seeds the clouds in order to aid the English players who are used to playing in the rain; 5. There is little or no chance of having 14 straight days rain-free in London in the summer.
Those of us who suffer when there is a high-pollen count don’t care how it happens. The rain is a welcome relief from the overly high pollen counts last week. I love the English weather, always have, always will.

Blunkett seems to think ID cards are a good idea for the UK. While we are promised they are not mandatory, they will be required for anyone wishing to acquire state services. They might include a fingerprint and medical records. It is possible Obergrupenfuhrer Blunkett might get his wish. He has the BBC wondering why anyone is upset about this, and a whole slew of Conservatives who sincerely believe “if you have nothing to hide why do you care about ID cards”. Today’s one o’clock news saw the Beeb interviewing a bunch of non-plussed French about it. Most were shocked the UK did not have required on-demand IDs already.
It may, in fact, be the Labour Party backbenchers who save the day for liberty. Alas, this may be a mute battle as the EU wishes to see mandatory ID cards in all member states. If Blunkett fails to get his cards, they will be snuck in under required EU legislation with MPs none the wiser.
One wonders, did Blunkett realise that right as a he launched his latest daft idea, a movie about the big-brother state, Minority Report is on general release? I know he would have seen the posters or the adverts on the telly, but at least someone at the HO could have told him.
Update:A leader in the Telegraph takes on the Home Office’s obsession with ID Cards. A serving bobby expresses his grave concern about Blunkett’s recent pronouncements.
