More on the jerk who says,I’d rather recruit ex-drug dealers, convicts and even child molesters

A company boss has compared British soldiers to paedophiles and drug dealers after refusing a request by a recruitment service to provide jobs for former troops.

Karl Winn, 60, said he would rather ‘recruit ex-drug dealers, convicts and child molesters’ than employ former servicemen or women.

His comments came after he was contacted by Forces Recruitment Services and asked if he would consider taking on ex-soldiers at his net design company Webeurope.

Mr Winn, of Taunton, Somerset, wrote back: ‘Personally, I’d rather recruit ex-drug dealers, convicts and even child molesters rather than consider anybody who has been in the pay of the British Government.’

‘The reality for the families of their victims is that there will never be any justice, and there never will be any closure, for the loss of a son, a husband, a child, or a family member who has fallen victim to British Military personnel who are going beyond ‘just doing their job’.

‘Please remove us from your email list. Regards, Karl.’

Despite initially blaming a disgruntled ex-worker who he claimed had hacked into his emails, Mr Winn later admitted to The Sun that he had written them - and stood by his comments.

He admitted they may have been ‘a bit over the top’ but then said: ‘I don’t regret saying it at all.’

‘Even if it costs me money I’ll still stand up for what I believe in,’ he said.

A company boss has refused to consider former soldiers as potential employees

‘If you have a paedophile, at least he goes to court and is seen to be accountable for what he’s done. That’s why I made a reference.’

And here’s the grand offices of this creep’s business. Impressed?

OK, I know ppl have going concerns even operating out of their homes. So what looks to me like a public loo doesn’t mean his business isn’t a good one. Too bad if it is. Here what this guy is all about.

webeurope - press statement

Extract from a Press Statement issued by Relatives for Justice on 13th March 2010
“‘Webeurope .. have heard at first hand the true extent of the role of the British army, the trauma, hurt and anguish caused - importantly they have acted to heal, support and address in their own way the awful legacy left behind as a direct consequence of British state violence in our country. ‘For that we are greatly indebted to them and in particular Karl Winn whose commitment to non-violence means, human rights, social justice, compassion and humanity are an example to us all.’

Background
Karl Winn, Webeurope’s founder and principle owner, has for many years supported numerous organisations (NGO’s), such organisations include: -
The International Human Rights Network - Supporting others in applying Human Rights Based Approaches to UN Agencies, countries, and organisations.
Film Makers Against War - FAW seeks to educate and raise awareness of UK and international war law
Art and Sacred Places - Encourages the interaction of art and religion by commissioning artists to make work in sacred places.

Relatives for Justice – A northern Ireland based organisation that supports and campaigns on behalf of the families of the 367 men, women, and children, who have been killed by members of the British Military and Police services. The campaign seeks to bring the perpetrators of such killings before the courts.

Should you be interested, here’s a link to all of his press statement. http://www.webeurope.co.uk/press-release.php The usual anti war, anti-military and oh how bad the Brit military acted in Ireland, illegally and with murder in their hearts yadda,yadda.  Well hell, you can read it all for yourselves.  Of course, not a word about ira bombings and killings of innocents. Nooo. Only the Brit military did that.  That’s my take and if I’m wrong, let me know.

Here’s a bit more just so you’re clear about this idiot.

‘The reality from the north of Ireland, to Afghanistan and Iraq, is that the perpetrators of such atrocities will always be free to get on with their lives, safe in the knowledge that the policy of the British Government is to ensure their protection from prosecution.’

‘I will therefore continue with my blanket ban on employing ex-military personnel. I understand this will affect innocent as well as guilty people.’

ON YOUR KNEES IN AMERICA AND KISS THE GROUND FOR YOUR GOOD FORTUNE. BE THANKFUL EVRY DAY.

They wouldn’t dare try this crap in the USA. Or would they?  I wish the heck they would.  It might be interesting to see what the reaction, and action, would be.
Perhaps it could trigger the final confrontation needed to rid ourselves of this virus in our own back yard. But it won’t.
Meanwhile, DO NOT place the blame on the muzzies. No,no.  They’ll go as far as the powers that be allow them to go. That’s the nature of the beast.  If there’s any fault, it’s with the BS diversity, left wing libtard, muslim apologists and sympathizers.  Do not blame the muslims.

Blame creeps like this bastard, this filthy lying SOB, this traitor and fugitive from a fetid swamp crawling with slime and disease. Blame ppl like this.

‘I’d rather employ a paedophile than a hero’: Company boss compares British troops to child molesters in rant at job agency

RANT SOURCE

I can’t wish enough bad things on that perv. I can’t even come up with swear words that fit the anger. I’d like to feed him to a pack of rabid wild dogs. No, that’s way too easy.  His comments are way beyond freedom of speech and expression.  It’s life forms like that, that in turn allow things like the following.

Defamation case over Prophet Mohammed cartoons ‘to be held’ in Britain

A Saudi Arabian lawyer has threatened to use British courts to overturn a Danish free speech ruling by bringing a defamation case over cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed that depicted Islam’s founder as a terrorist.

By Bruno Waterfield in Brussels

Faisal Yamani, a Jeddah based lawyer, is planning to take a case to London’s libel courts on behalf of over 90,000 descendants of Mohammed who have claimed that the drawings have defamed them and the Islamic faith.

Cartoon caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed were published in Danish newspapers in 2006 triggering violent protests across the Muslim world and riots which claimed the lives of over 50 people.

According to Danish press reports, the case can be heard in the Britain because the images, including a caricature of Mohammed with a bomb shaped turban, have been freely accessible via the internet.

Danish politicians and publishers are furious that European Union rules reward “libel tourism” by enforcing British defamation rulings across Europe.

Ebbe Dal, managing director of Danske Dagblades Forening, the Danish national newspaper association, is concerned that Britain’s tough libel laws could be used to restrict free speech in liberal countries such as Denmark.

“The Danish courts have decided that the case is not actionable and that we are allowed to print the drawings in Danish newspapers and websites,” he said.

“It would be very odd if a civilised country like Britain could go against that. If this succeeded we would have to pay a lot of money to Saudi Arabians misusing the British courts to make it difficult for freedom of speech.”

Mr Yamani demanded last year that 11 Danish newspapers remove all cartoon images of Mohammed from their websites and issue front page apologies along with promises that the images would never be printed again.

Only one newspaper, Politiken, agreed to the demand leading to the new threat of an expensive British court action backed by wealthy Saudi Muslims.

Lars Barfoed, the Danish justice minister, has complained to the European Commission that EU rules forcing Denmark to enact British court rulings would damage freedom of expression.

“It’s fundamentally reasonable that judgments in the EU can often be exercised across borders. But it would be taking it to the extreme if a UK court could rule against the Danish media and then require compensation and court costs to be paid,” he said.

EU officials have acknowledged that libel judgements in the British courts have become a major issue since “Rome II” rules on mutual recognition of European court rulings entered into force last year.

“We are well aware that there is a problem with libel and defamation tourism involving Britain, where judges can be sympathetic and damages awards are high. There will be a review next year,” said an official.

A British Ministry of Justice working group on libel law is expected to publish a report calling for reform later this month.

“The government is concerned about any potential chilling effect that our libel laws are having on freedom of speech,” said a spokesman.

Political correctness strikes back: Jedi believer wins apology and says he’ll sue. Ah diversity.

Surely this has to be embarrassing for Brits.  This guy isn’t a fool. He knows exactly what he’s doing.  The fools are the people who allow it and cave in with “Oh we are so sorry.” A brick in the face and he’d soon change his religion. My problem with the hood thing is the very same problem that most others have. The association with often violent crime committed by guys (often younger this this fellow) wearing hoods. Referred to as “Hoodies.” And they damn well are intimidating in groups. OK so he was alone. He’s bogus and he can say whatever he wants to about adopting this movie thing as a religion. The fault also is at the foot of the lady who wrote the letter of apology. See it at the link.  This is just another example of the declining culture that’s been allowed to flourish.
I wonder what the end game will look like.  I won’t be here to see it that’s certain, and maybe that’s a good thing.

Political correctness strikes back: Jedi believer wins apology after being kicked out of Jobcentre for wearing a hood

By Andrew Levy
Last updated at 8:48 AM on 17th March 2010

When benefits claimant Chris Jarvis was asked to put down his hood in a Jobcentre, he said he was entitled to wear it because of his Jedi ‘faith’.

When he continued to wear the cowl despite repeated warnings, he was escorted from the premises by security guards.

Yet in a case which sums up the march of political correctness in the public sector, he has now received a grovelling apology saying that the government agency ‘embraces diversity and respects a customer’s religion’. ‘Jediism’ was made up for the Star Wars films.

The father of three now plans to sue Jobcentre Plus in Southend for discrimination, despite admitting he took up the ‘faith’ last year only as an excuse to wear hooded tops.

‘I am a Star Wars follower. It means following the way of the Jedi,’ he said yesterday. ‘The main reason is I want to wear my hood up and I have got a religion which allows me to do that.

‘Someone with their own religious views is allowed to wear what their religion says - the Sikhs are able to carry a great big dagger. My religion allows me to wear my hood.’

Mr Jarvis later wrote to complain. In response, manager Wendy Flewers wrote: ‘Jobcentre Plus is committed to provide a customer service which embraces diversity and respects a customer’s religion or beliefs.

Anyone using a machine gun mount for a 22?

Not being the sharpest tack with knowledge of weapons systems and machine guns, I naturally went to the net and looked up machine gun mounts.
I found this interesting site with all sorts of info. As the more informed on the subject already know and as I discovered, there is a heck of a lot of information available.  The thing that caught my eye and peaked my interest was the last line. Not the shooting waskly wabbits. The part about need a machine gun mount for a 22 cal. rifle.  I don’t understand that, unless it’s a joke. Which I still don’t get.  Seems odd tho. A machine gun mount for a 22?  I guess it depends on just where you’re doing your shooting from maybe.  I’ve used 22s in the far past but never saw the need (for my purpose) of a gun mount. On the other hand, it could be used a lot and I just haven’t read or heard about it.

I LOVE their rock pile.  Take a look. WOW. click the castle for more.

After trying her hand as a motor­cycle mechanic and a racing driver, the career of Lady Katherine Percy has taken another ­unconventional turn.

For the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland is now making stocks for sporting guns for a living. After training with royal gunmakers Purdey & Sons, Lady Katie, 27, left a year ago to be her own boss.

‘She very much enjoyed her apprenticeship with Purdey and is now a self­-employed gun-stock maker,’ says an aide for the land-owning Duke, who is worth £300million and whose ­country pile, Alnwick Castle in Northumberland, doubles as Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films.

When she worked as chief mechanic for Marquass Motorcycles, practical Lady Katie said: ‘I’m dying to get a machine-gun mount so I can rest a .22 on one and shoot rabbits.’

British Airways strike could go global as Unite enlists support of U.S. union Teamsters

About a week or ten days ago it was announced that the post office had caved in to postal union demands, and so the PO will work less hours but will also get a raise.  It’s feared that junk mail deliveries may increase.  That’s okay. We don’t get much mail anyway. Except it becomes a pain in the butt having to shred addresses and separate the trash. But never mind. This could be worse yet.  The union representing airline workers, UNITE, is digging in it’s heels as the heels who head the union and fund the party in power are about to bring down England’s national airline.  BA is hemorrhaging money and has been plagued for some time with reports about bad service etc.  So this doesn’t help.  In fact, I was considering British Airways because of an unusual flight schedule that might have suited us well.  But with this going on, forget that.  I won’t chance it and I can’t imagine too many folks seeing all this buying tickets in this climate.

It looks now as though the evil bastards want to include the unions in the USA.  Can they enlist a foreign union in another country to screw thing up there?

EVIL BLOODSUCKING UNION BAT

* Meeting with U.S. Teamsters union today
* British tourists risk being stranded in Caribbean
* Union claims ‘fast-tracked’ volunteers risk safety

By Tim Shipman

Unite leaders will today meet with a U.S. union as they dramatically escalate the British Airways strike.

Unite is to hold talks with Teamsters, one of the overseas unions to offer its support for their controversial walkout due to start in days.

It has also enlisted unions in Germany, Spain and Italy to an international campaign of militancy that could cause chaos at airports around the world.

Union sources say action from overseas unions could make it impossible to clean, service and refuel BA planes.

This would undermine attempts by BA to keep aircraft in the skies and lead to more misery for the public, who already face massive disruption to flights over Easter.

Teamsters, which has 1.4million members, said last night: ‘We stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters at Unite who are fighting for a fair contract at British Airways.

‘The Teamsters are an active member of the International Transport Workers Federation. ITF affiliates around the world are mobilising to support British Airways workers in their fight for passenger safety and worker respect.’

The move will raise the stakes for Gordon Brown, who yesterday failed for a fourth day to persuade Unite to abandon the strike.

A BA spokesman said: ‘It is sad to see Unite seeking backing from trade unions overseas to support its unjustified strike against an iconic British brand.

Shadow transport secretary Theresa Villiers said the union was ‘hell-bent’ on causing maximum disruption for travellers.

She said: ‘Unite should not be striking at all and trying to spread the dispute to other countries is even more irresponsible.’

Unite has also warned that BA are ‘rushing through’ volunteer staff to work as cabin crew to help break the strike.

Today in History… and other fun stuff

Vilmar reminds us that today is the anniversary of Rachel Corrie’s claim to fame: death by bulldozer. (Google the moonbat yourself if you don’t know/remember)

However, as I reminded Vilmar in a comment on his post, today is also the birthday of James ‘Father of the Constitution’ Madison (also our fourth President)

This evening I was innocently opening the bills in preparation for paying them. The phone bill contained a surprise:

You are Included in a Class Action Settlement Involving Your DSL Service

I hate class-action lawsuits. How dare they include me without my permission! This is just a way for liberal lawyers to attack capitalism. If we ever get any tort reform, part of that should be the outlawing of class-action lawsuits. But I digress. What was the lawsuit about?

A proposed Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging that AT&T failed to deliver DSL Service to its customers at the speeds promised.

It goes on to state that their records show that my DSL service was not affected. However, if I believe it was I can submit a claim for a one-time payment of…

Wait for it…

$2.00!

I get a whopping $2.00. How much did the lawyers get? And how much will my DSL service go UP PER MONTH as a result?

When I signed up for DSL, AT&T offered three different speed plans. I chose the middle one (don’t ask, I don’t remember the speeds) which I’ve had no complaints about. I WILL complain if my rates go up as a result of this ‘settlement’.

Open Carry In Alaska

I saw this over at Alphecca, but I want to go a different direction with it. Jeff, the guy who runs Alphecca, lives in Vermont where concealed carry ( CCW ) is legal without any licensing. That means any adult citizen of Vermont can have a gun in their pocket if they feel like it. Alaska is the same way. No papers. Alaska also allows for open carry ( OC ) which means carrying a pistol at your side in a holster, like a cop or a cowboy. I guess it also means carrying a rifle or shotgun on your shoulder with a sling. Having a firearm in your hands is called brandishing, and at that point you perhaps start breaking laws, depending on why you are doing that.

Anyway, a few people at a town hall kind of meeting in Alaska were OC. Some people noticed and got upset. Some government officials said it was wrong, some said it was no big deal.

My view is that OC is better than CCW in most normal circumstances. I’m not saying that there shouldn’t be CCW, that’s your right too. Just that OC has no sneaky aspect to it.

To which I feel the proper response is “tough shit, this is America, get used it, learn to love it, or get out”.

Guns in Fairbanks: Should you bring weapons to a heated public debate?

FAIRBANKS — Carrying a firearm into a municipal building is legal, but is it wise to openly display a gun at a heated public meeting?

The presiding officer of the Borough Assembly said openly displayed sidearms at a meeting on Feb. 25, when emotions ran high, didn’t bother him. But some assembly members said it concerns them. Borough officials said no one complained to them about the firearms, however.

On the agenda at that Feb. 25 meeting was the introduction of an air pollution control plan, and it drew more than 100 people to the meeting, including vocal opposition. Many criticized the plan and some criticized the municipal leaders. People held picket signs. There was shouting at assembly members and at the mayor. There were threats.

Officials with the three area municipalities said firearms are allowed in most municipal buildings and at public meetings. State law prohibits local governments from restricting gun rights any more than the state’s restrictions.

But that doesn’t mean openly carrying a firearm to a stormy public meeting is an exercise in good judgment, according to Assemblywoman Nadine Winters and Assemblymen Tim Beck, Guy Sattley, Hank Bartos and Matt Want.

“I think it’s an intimidation factor,” Beck said. “And that’s impeding the public process.”

Want, one of the newest assembly members, said if the firearms were meant to intimidate, then that’s wrong.

“I very much appreciate people’s ability to exercise their Second Amendment rights. But to me, if it’s used to intimidate, then it’s an abuse of that right.”

Bartos said openly carried firearms at heated public meetings make him nervous.

Sattley said the fact that bringing a gun to a meeting is legal doesn’t make it advisable.

“I think that’s not the place for it,” he said. “It’s already heated enough without that added to the twist.”

None of the assemblymen said they saw the openly displayed firearms. But Winters did.

“Did I feel threatened the other night or worried? No, not even one little bit,” she said. But Winters said she wonders why anyone would want to openly carry a firearm to a public meeting.

“I can’t think of any reason why you come to a public hearing on something that affects the community and you need to bring a gun,” she said.

Assemblyman Joe Blanchard said he sees no problem with it.

“I think people have the right to carry their firearms wherever they are,” Blanchard said. “As long as you’re not threatening anybody with it.”

Joe Nava, a local firearms safety instructor who formerly sat on the board of directors of the National Rifle Association, said openly carrying firearms unnecessarily upsets people uncomfortable with guns.

Nava made the point in a short essay he posted on the Web site of Fairbanks radio station KFAR, where he hosts a weekly show on gun issues.

“I am not jumping in on any side of any argument that you might put in the newspaper,” he said when reached by telephone.

Ok, fine Joe. Then allow me to do so. No citizen who lives in Alaska has a right to be “uncomfortable” around firearms used or carried in a legal manner. How’s that? It’s friggin’ Alaska fer cryin’ out loud. Where the bears and the wolves outnumber the people 10 to 1. Where a population of 250 is a big town. You betcha!

“Uncomfortable”?? I hear that PC term all the time, mostly from the lefties. What a patronizing, pusillanimous, evasive, agenda-driven, bullshit utterance. How about reaching down into your lacy mini-thong and doing a double touch to see if your balls are still attached, and if so, then just be upfront and mention what your objection is? And what makes you think you have any right to feel “comfortable” in the first place. Isn’t being “uncomfortable” but keeping your trap shut exactly what “tolerance” means?

No, that little rant wasn’t against this guy Joe. He HAS to remain neutral; he has a gun business to run. I don’t. I’m ranting against elitist government employees who know what’s good for you better than you know yourself, who expose that elitism by assuming base motivations about the citizenry, and also against other small minded pissants who use “uncomfortable” as a petty, peevish ploy to get their way WITHOUT even a discussion. Because then they would have to explicitly state what it is that is making them “uncomfortable”, how much, and why, and they just might find themselves laughed out of town. It’s a power play, and 80% of the time it’s a snotty one. Because if it was over a REAL issue, like “stop setting my cubicle on fire you psycho!” you know they’d find a way to express that thought in an instant.

Is open carry a good idea in high density areas with lots of crime and pickpockets? Maybe not. CCW might be better there. Those are not typical, normal circumstances. But I’ll wager the folks in those seedy areas openly brandishing don’t get mugged. They also don’t have to wait on line! And that is a use of firearms to intimidate. But OC at a town hall meeting? Not. At the very worst, it’s a reminder. To elitist government types. Hey, maybe that’s the real reason they’re “uncomfortable”!

BATTLING BRITS IN AFGHANISTAN ….

Nothing for me to add here except to say these fellows are damn good and uphold a long and proud military tradition. They are better and braver then many who are representing them. 

Inside Afghanistan: the sniper’s tale

As part of The Telegraph’s series of videos looking at life for the British Army in Afghanistan, we hear from a sniper whose daily challenge is to kill before he is killed.

Telegraph photojournalist Heathcliff O’Malley spent two weeks embedded with British troops in Helmand, Afghanistan.

In this exclusive series, he shows what life is really like on the ground for the 10,000 soldiers serving in the country.

SHE WEIGHS IN AT 602 POUNDS, AND WANTS TO SET A RECORD BY DOUBLING THAT. MOONBAT CROWN

Ok, this deserves a civilian moonbat crown maybe with skulls(?) as this woman is digging her own grave at some point.  This is GROSS.

Drew ... is there some way to embed just one of the bats on this photo?  I wanted to do that where I have the text on the pix. Jeesh.
This woman needs counseling pretty quick.
If she ever fell down, how would they get her upright short of a construction crane?  And we know who will end up picking up her medical tab.
What was it Texas Guinan said? Oh yeah. [what, like this? Drew]

The super-sized 602 lb. mother who is determined to become the world’s fattest woman

By Daily Mail Reporter

‘My favourite food is sushi, but unlike others I can sit and eat 70 big pieces of sushi in one go,’ she said.

‘I do love cakes and sweet things, doughnuts are my favourite.’

Donna, who wears XXXXXXXL dresses, eats mounds of junk food and tries to move as little as possible.

Ms Simpson already holds the Guinness World Record as the world’s fattest mother, when she gave birth in 2007 weighing 38stone.

She needed a team of 30 medics to deliver her daughter Jacqueline during a high-risk Caesarean birth.

Yet although she can only move 20ft before needing to sit down, she wants to be even bigger.

‘I’d love to be 1,000lb,’ she said.

‘It might be hard though. Running after my daughter keeps my weight down.’

Donna Simpson already weighs 43st, but she is determined to nearly double her size to become the world’s fattest woman.

The 42-year-old from New Jersey, U.S, is set on reaching the 1,000lb mark (71st) in just two years. Remarkably she insists she is healthy, despite now needing a mobility scooter when she goes shopping.

New Image Wanted

The Mad Harriet post earlier gave me an idea.

There are moonbats, and then there are royal moonbats. They may not reign forever, but their excess level of moonbattery ought to be recognized while they are in power.

I’m not a graphics whiz, so I’m asking for submissions. For a Moonbat crown.

I whacked this out quickly with old versions of Fireworks and the MS Photo Editor. I’m sure that OCM and lots more folks could do better. I didn’t even paint the wings gold.

You can email me, or if you’ve got your own place online, just put the url of the image in the comments. Please build your ideas on a transparent background, to make it easier for the rest of us to apply the thing as needed.

I think this could be quite useful down the line.

Insinuating that a woman is not as strong as a man will be “unlawful sex discrimination”

Why heck, we’re runnin’ out of bats for this one. Mz Harperson really demands and intends to leave no feelings or even the possibility that there lurks the intent, or the the possibility that by pure accident, a lady may be offended and thereby have her “rights” impinged.  Hey .. read this and tell us if she isn’t off the edge of the flat planet she is living on.  In fact ... NOBODY, men or women will have hurt feelings or more specifically, their ‘umin rights’ abused or brought into question, as Harperson see those rights.

I will not take the time to go through this and post comments line by line. It’s too exhaustive and time consuming. This legislation is full of so much crap I don’t see how it can pass.  But there isn’t any mistake that Happy Deluded Harriet thinks it a neat idea and worthy of becoming the law of the land.
She is for now, the BMEWS Queen of Moonbats.

Note to Drew.  We need to get her face on a bat to use for that purpose. With a little moombat crown maybe.


What, like this??

Thanks to Doc DETH!

Gym staff could be prosecuted for warning a woman not to lift heavy weights under equality legislation being championed by Harriet Harman.

By Melissa Kite, Deputy political editor

Insinuating that a woman is not as strong as a man will be “unlawful sex discrimination”, under the terms of the forthcoming Equality Bill.
A code of practice explaining the legal implications of the Bill, which is currently going through Parliament, states that being a woman is “a protected characteristic”.

The code, drawn up by the Equality and Human Rights Commission, explains ways in which women might be unfairly stereotyped and defines behaviours that will in future be seen as discrimination.
It includes a long list of examples of “unintentional less favourable treatment” including what might happen to a woman when she joins a gym and begins lifting weights.

It states: “A general stereotype about men and women is that in terms of physique, most men are stronger than most women. Nevertheless it is likely to be unlawful sex discrimination for a gym to test every woman’s strength but not every man’s before allowing them access to weightlifting facilities.”

The code makes clear that it will not be seen as an excuse if the motive of the gym staff is to help a woman or save her from injury.
“It does not matter what the service provider’s intentions are or whether the service provider’s less favourable treatment of the person is conscious or unconscious.

“The service provider may even think that they are doing the person a favour, or simply be unaware that they are treating the person differently because of a protected characteristic.”

The Bill, championed by Ms Harman, the Equalities Minister, has already courted much controversy and attracted the criticism of the Pope when it proposed that churches would be prosecuted for refusing to employ gay people.

The legislation also provides protection under the law from discrimination for “any religious belief or philosophical belief” and even “a lack of belief”.
Last week it emerged that vegans would be protected, along with members of cults and “new religions” such as Scientology.

Advertisements giving preferential treatment to men or women could also be illegal, meaning the end of “ladies’ nights” at clubs, when women receive cut-price drinks or free entrance but men pay full price.
People for whom abstention from alcohol was a way of life would be given new rights to protect them from discrimination.

The Bill will give more scope too for the prosecution of shopkeepers and club owners who refuse to allow entry to certain types of people.
It says that shopkeepers who refuse entry to black teenagers, for example, after stories in the local press about thefts in the area by black teenagers will be prosecuted for race discrimination.

The Bill also creates a new offence of discrimination by association. The code states that if a nightclub refused entry to three Polish people and an English man, the English man could claim he has suffered racial discrimination by association.

If a boy is refused membership of his local football club and his parents are two lesbian women, he could claim “unlawful direct discrimination by association because of sexual orientation”.

A link from Vilmar

Oh sure, they called it something else. Something all fancy, named after some toff Lord So and So. But where the Susquehanna met the Chenango there was water and dirt. And above them in the sky is the pivot point for nearly every weather system that comes across the northeast. Which means double the usual amount of precip almost always. It’s also the only decent sized bit of flat valley for miles and miles, surrounded by mountains on all sides; it’s uphill in all directions, so all the water came to us.

They told us the official school colors were green and white, but we knew better. The real colors were grey and brown, reflecting the clouds above and the mud below. Freshmen were quickly introduced to an odd variety of high topped footwear called “duck shoes”. And urged to buy a golf-sized windproof umbrella and a stadium length parka, woolly mittens and the biggest Champion sweatshirt they could find. Nobody listened. You know how upperclassmen are, always trying to play a fast one on the noobs. Besides, they’d all been up to campus in the summer, and it was lovely. It was still green and mild in August when their parents dropped them off, and only the slightest hints of early fall were showing a few weeks later at the first school holiday of “Rusha-Home-a”. Even on the bus trip back after that weekend, 200 miles upstate from The City, and you hardly even needed a light jacket.

And then Monday came, and the sunlight went away, the clouds arrived, and the weather began. Every year. And it never stopped.

The first year I was up there we had 11” of snow on October 8th. I have a whole series of pictures of Halloween snowmen. One year, living off campus, when the snow started to melt away in late April, we saw this lump out by the street. What on earth? It turned out to be the Christmas tree we’d put out for pickup in January. It had been buried the whole time. Winter snows were followed by rain. Never ending rain. One year is rained for 44 days in a row. All day, all night, never ending cold hard rain and wind. Six solid weeks.

At some point in April, when the never ending wet, dim, cold started to cause depression and thoughts of suicide, there was the annual campus event called the Stomping Of The Coat. A short festival, and excuse to pass a bottle around outside. Sort of a reverse rain dance, a tantrum against the sky. Enough! We can’t take it any more!! I’ve lived in this damn parka since October and I’m sick of it!! The festival often had to be held indoors because of the weather.

“Spring” was this concept that only existed on the calendars. I’ve seen it snow as late as the 3rd week in June up there. But almost always the snow would melt, and the rains would cease, and the sun would come out and let the grass rush to green up and the flowers rocket out of the ground ... just in time for finals week. So that nobody had a chance to enjoy the brief nice weather. And when the parents came up that 3rd Sunday in May, it was always warm and lovely. Just like that drop-off weekend in August had been. They never believed their kid’s tales; this is a lovely campus and a fabulous climate!

Next fall, those returning for their Sophomore year would try and tell the incoming freshmen what they were in for, and to introduce them to an odd variety of footwear called “duck shoes”. They didn’t listen. They never did.




And we had our Casey, a bit of a local legend. And supposedly one of those farm teams back in the long ago had gone by that famous soggy name. Not officially of course. Likely they were called the Triplets or somesuch.

Local legends? Probably. What the heck, people need something to believe in, and sometimes even cartoon dinosaurs and cavemen on everything isn’t enough. Fun, but not enough.

Gosh, I haven’t had a good pile of halupkies in ages. Or those great pork spiedies that had marinated for days and then got flash burned on the grill.

Spring Forward Tonight

Bah, it’s that time again. Daylight Saving Time starts tonight at 2am. So when you get up tomorrow at 8, it will actually be 9. You have been reminded.

European countries don’t make the shift until the end of March, and Arizona and Hawaii don’t even bother. And if you’re in Kyrgyzstan you don’t bother because your country runs on DST all year long anyway. Borat of pride for little brother-stan! Who is turn it is to wear the national wristwatch this month?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
