THE MONTHLY MOSQUITO

An unemployed 26 stone mother is going blind after drinking 28 cans of Red Bull a day.  Lena Lupari, 26, from Newtownabbey in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, gained so much weight from having seven litres on a daily basis that her brain has become distended.

The mother of three, who drank more than 3,000 calories from the drink every day, was ignorant of the harm she was doing until she passed out in June.  Doctors found that she had developed a condition known as Idiopathic intracranial hypertension, which they said was a consequence of her being overweight.

Ms Lupari, who was dishing out almost £6,000 of her benefits every year, or £450 of her £1,800 monthly handouts, on the high calorie energy drink, says she was dependant on it.

She used to gulp down 28 cans of Red Bull in a day, and only have a meal at night, but it was normally something fast food like a takeaway or a packet of pasta, since she has three young children, one with special needs, and she didn’t have the time to make anything for herself.

She had been suffering from migraines and headaches for about five years, however, she just disregarded them and took pain relievers.  Then her eyesight went, and she couldn’t even raise her head off the bed, and she then ended up in hospital for six days.

Doctors said she has to lose seven stone in order to keep the symptoms at bay, and since she was hospitalised on June 18th, she has completely cut out Red Bull from her diet and lost two stone.

However, Ms Lupari she hopes that the NHS can assist her losing the additional five stone, or the 30 percent of her bodyweight, that will keep away the requirement for medical management.

She doesn’t want a gastric band or surgery, however, she is convinced that the NHS should provide assistance for someone with this, and to give them the drive, something like a boot camp.

Losing weight doesn’t mean that it will go away forever, however, it means that she won’t require surgery.

Intracranial hypertension means abnormally high pressure inside the skull, which might occur all of a sudden, or build up over time and is quite rare.

Idiopathic IH means there is no clear cause for the IH, however, it is most often spotted in overweight women in their twenties, and has been connected with certain medications including the contraceptive pill.

The most common indications are acute pulsating headaches, and changes in sight due to enlarged optic nerves.

A 250ml can of Red Bull contains 80mg of caffeine, which elevates the heart rate, and patients with high blood pressure or coronary heart disease and hypertension are advised to keep away from it.

The drink as well includes taurine, a building block of protein usually found in meat and dairy products, which are reviewed useful in small measures.

Austrian Dieterich Mateschitz, 55, who created Red Bull, is now a very wealthy man. He staggered across a health tonic in Bangkok and launched his version in 1987 with claims that it reinvigorates the mind and body, escalates tolerance, betters response and concentration and helps remove toxins from the body.

A single 250ml can of Red Bull contains 80mg of caffeine, which is about as identical as a cup of coffee, however, investigation has established that drinking more than three cups of coffee a day can escalate the risk of sight loss and blindness.

Even the average amounts of the drink make expanding the harmful eye condition glaucoma more probable.

Glaucoma happens when the drainage tubes inside the eye become somewhat blocked, stopping eye fluid from clearing properly and causing compression to build up.  This can destruct the optic nerve, which joins the eye to the brain, and the nerve fibres of the retina, the light sensitive nerve tissue that lines the back of the eye.

There is no connection with other caffeine products such as tea, cola or chocolate, however, it has been previously informed of other conditions connected more at Red Bull, comprising the larger chances of having a heart attack or a stroke.

A study of university students established consuming one 250ml can of the sugar free version of the energy drink increased the stickiness of the blood and raised the chances of life threatening thrombosis.

Red Bull itself gives guidelines on its website that no more than 400mg. The equivalent of five 250ml cans, should be drunk in a day to steer clear of possible improprieties and consequences of caffeine.

Hopefully, in the end, Red Bull will vanish from the shelves of our supermarkets and community stores before we develop into a generation of diseased heart attacks.

If they can take sugar added Ribena, and Rubicon off our racks in the supermarkets, then they can take Red Bull off as well.

Red Bull is a dangerous product which was once crafted to energise the body, and give additional vitality, however, at present reports are telling us that is dangerous for us, even more so, it’s dangerous for our children.

Nevertheless, it’s an activity that is very profitable, particularly on our funds.  More and more children are gulping down the stuff with very little knowledge on the outcome it could have on them if drunk on a large scale.

School children as young as nine and ten years old are drinking Red Bull and variants of it, and nearly all of these children have no idea of what its outcome could be.

These are just two energy drinks, but did you know that the amount of sugar in one Red Bull is comparable to the sugar level in an equivalent amount of apple or orange juice.

Half-litre cans of Red Bull comprise 52g sugar, and the same caffeine as four cups of coffee.  And biologists are saying that cans are unneeded and ingesting such a high volume can have health aftermaths.

A distinguished nutrition specialist is encouraging people to turn down half-litre cans of Red Bull and other energy drinks since they comprise dangerous levels of caffeine and sugar.  A 473ml can of Red Bull costs £1.99, and contains an astounding 13 teaspoons of sugar and 150mg of caffeine, about the same as four cups of instant coffee.

There is no need for such a high concentration of the substances, as the possible health ramifications comprise fast or irregular heartbeat, raised blood pressure, sleeping difficulties, weight gain, muscle spasms, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, and even unforeseen death.

Every person has their own sensitivity for caffeine, and certain younger people or people with undetected cardiovascular difficulties are at higher risk of experiencing negative repercussions from caffeine.

In fact caffeine blocks signals which are crucial for a good regulation of blood pressure, heart rhythm and blood flow to muscle, kidney function and other tissues.

The amalgamation of high sugar and caffeine and alcohol clearly tricks the brain into the feeling of a high energy level while the rest of the body needs to manage with the opposing consequence of high caffeine and alcohol, occasionally leading to the serious aftermath, like instant death.

Thankfully, some supermarkets have put an embargo on anyone under the age of 16 from buying certain energy drinks.   Nevertheless, that doesn’t stop kids from getting hold of the lethal power drink, as there are a great deal of adults with children out there that still permit their children to drink the harmful concoction.

There should be no seal of approval for this drink, it should be made illegal, and if not suppressed, it should be prohibited like alcohol and tobacco.  Of course, there will still be the odd youngster who will get hold of a can of two, but at least it won’t be drunk in such volume as it is now.

Tesco is taking a range of well-liked soft drinks off its racks, comprising sugary varieties of Ribena and Capri Sun, owing to studies over child obesity.  The measures will see tiny boxes and bottles of added sugar Ribena and Capri Sun withdrawn from stocks as part of a drive to ensure that no-added sugar in any of its juice drinks aimed at children.

Cordial bottles and no added sugar versions of Ribena will still be obtainable, while lunchbox ranges of Rubicon will also be withdrawn owing to the concerns.  It comes after Tesco pledged to decrease the sugar content of its own label soft drinks by 5% each year.

Tesco aspires to assist its consumers to make healthier choices, and that’s why they have promised to continue to cut sugar from food and drinks on their racks.  From September, all the children’s juice drinks they offer for sale will have no added sugar in them because they know it will make a positive difference to children’s health.

Earlier this month, the British Medical Association called for a 20% tax on sugary drinks, noting that a third of the population was proposed to be overweight by 2030.  Poor selection of foods cost the NHS about £6 billion a year, a larger impact than alcoholic drink consumption, smoking or physical laziness.

Nevertheless, there is a broad scope of existing proof proposing that people who have a variation in a gene called FTO are more likely to be over-weight.

New research collated men with two copies of the high risk gene variation with men with two copies of the low risk variant. Men with two copies of the high risk variation had a smaller amount of hunger suppression and less suppression of levels of the appetite stimulating hormone acyl-ghrelin after consuming food. In addition, brain examinations found that their brains responded differently to the hormone and to portrayals of food.

This absorbing investigation puts forward how the FTO variant might change obesity unpredictability in humans. Nevertheless, these discoveries are unlikely to have an instant impact on resolving the obesity problem.

While it may be the manifestation that the FTO variant could make people more susceptible towards eating too much, that’s not the same thing as causing people to eat too much. It may take more willpower for people with the FTO variant to stay in good trim than for nearly all people, however, none of us are swayed completely by our genes.

Consuming a healthy balanced selection of foods, and taking consistent physical activity is a more achievable way to attain a healthy weight.  However, having genetically modified foods as part of our diet is not the way to go, as these are foods that are manufactured from organisms that have had specified alterations instituted into their DNA, using the technique of genetic engineering, and their ingestion is without doubt not healthy eating at all.

Experts say that almost two dozen studies show adverse consequences from GMO foods, such as difficulties with the kidneys, liver and heart, and other organs.  Adversaries say that besides perhaps preeminent to cancer. GMO’s can cause new allergies, and hurt the effect of antibiotics.

It appears our way of life will never be the same again, and we now have no natural habitat, because it’s all about making money, and they don’t care about us at all, whether we live or die.  They say that people that are obese cost the NHS billions each year, yet pharmaceutical companies flourishes on people that are sick, without people being ill, they wouldn’t make a pecuniary gain, and its undoubtedly all about profit making.

We know that smoking eliminates people on a day-to-day basis, however, the government wouldn’t dream of taking tobacco off it racks because they would lose too much money, however, they will tell you that overweight people are taking up too much of their money.

Once again, it’s one directive for us and another rule for them, while the government salivate over fancy dinner parties, banquets, fancy houses that they live in, and holidays whenever they feel like jetting off to some far away place.

They tempt you with commercials about food, however, they don’t want you to go out and buy it, yet they do want you to go out and buy it because the commercials tell you that the commodity that you’re watching on the screen in front of you is excellent, and it conditions the mind to go out and get it.

Nearly everything that we eat is genetically modified, the trouble is, we have no concept of which one is, and which one isn’t because there are so many of them out there that has been engineered.

Makes me wonder on occasion, if food can be genetically engineered, can we?

Tory star Priti Patel has sourced disapproval by labelling innocuous campaigners, some of whom were elderly and disabled, a thuggish gang.  Members of the group were upset and saddened by the Employment Minister’s assault on them.

The campaigners, comprising a wheelchair user, and at least two requiring walking sticks, called on Ms Patel’s constituency Headquarters to appeal to her to keep safe the health service.  After they braved the rain outside her place of work in Witham, Essex, she fired off an enraged letter to Unite union boss Len McCluskey, who she said was behind the campaign.

She said of the campaigners that the intimidation, coercion and thuggish conduct towards residents is shocking.  Comments by Ms Patel, topped as the coming Tory leader enraged the group who says the proposed Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership will lead the way to NHS privatisation.

Malcolm Mead said: “At the age of 78 I never expected to be called a thug by my MP Priti Patel, and that she should apologise, and listen to our concerns. ”

Sandra Piscina, 56, said: “All I did was raise my concerns. ”

We should all be a tiny bit perturbed when MP’s don’t want to pay attention to the general public, who should in fact be keen to listen – that’s what their basic job is, to listen to the public.

She’s not going to be very triumphant as Tory leader if she’s not prepared to listen to her constituents.  She’s just going to drive away public opinion of her in the most disagreeable way possible, and she would be very stupid to be off-side with the public.

Nearly all MP’s wants the support of the public, and they should be clever enough to do so.  They should be familiarising themselves with the public, as this would reward their leadership for the times ahead.  It all goes with the donkey work of becoming a star in the making, and its very unhip to be done any other way.

Expense claims and a Westminster sexual impropriety were removed from MPs Wikipedia pages by computers inside the Parliament prior to the election. Particulars of a police arrest, electoral cheating claims, and the use of chauffeur-driven cars were as well being wiped by people inside the Commons.

The disclosure raises suspicion of MPs or their political parties that intentionally conceal these particulars from the public online to make candidates appear more electable to voters.

More than a dozen online biographies of sitting MPs were doctored from computers with IP addresses owned by the Houses of Parliament in the run up to the election, which should be of uppermost concern and considerable significance.

If online biographies are being doctored from computers, then there is a chance that something bad is amiss, and it should be looked into because if they’re taking off expenses and things about a sex scandal, then that has a very big impact on the public.

After all, we don’t really want perverts and paedophiles in our governments cabinet, even though it appears that anything is acceptable at the moment – anything from embezzlement to a bit of hanky-panky, anything goes these days amongst the hoi-polloi of government.

Calls for comment were made to all the MPs in question through their party press offices, however, just a few responded, saying the changes had nothing to do with them. It seems that an undetectable bot just messed around with their computer systems and removed material to conceal their fuck up…

What do they think that all us plebs out there are that simpleminded that we have no idea what’s going on behind closed doors? What, are we really that uncultured and irritating? Just because someone doesn’t have a degree of some kind, doesn’t make us all halfwits.

The only halfwits that can be spotted around are the government for in fact believing that we’re all dense. Holy cow, with a little bit of restraint, the government could actually be clever enough to realize that the wool can’t be pulled over our eyes for ever and ever, but I can see the government knitting a sweater!

Anyone can emend Wikipedia, an online encyclopaedia kept up to date for users. Nevertheless, each alteration is tracked and coupled to an IP address, a distinctive strand of numbers that recognises each computer using an internet network.

It has been found that tenacious changes have been made to MPs biographies made from Parliament in what appears to be an intentional endeavour to conceal shaming details from the electorate.

They must have been really stupid not to be aware that they would be caught out, and it’s preposterous speculation that they wouldn’t be found out in the end. Plainly these idiots have no idea how a computer system works, however, none of them live in the practical world.

Perhaps they should be more insightful and go back to school, then maybe they wouldn’t get caught out.

It’s not very encouraging when you think about how much they keep harping on about their facts and figures. Yet they can’t even use a computer system, no wonder there are so many poverty-stricken people out there.

Politics isn’t for the faint-hearted, and you need to be fearless as well as disloyal, and you have to know how to betray everyone around you, particularly the public.

Nevertheless, outwitting those that are less intellectual is how they prey on. It’s all about financial gain, and if anyone thinks it’s not, is very wrong. They will take casualties at any price, they have no soul, and they will ruin anyone they can.

However, the changes that have been divulged means that they have been caught with their pants down, following Tory backbencher Robert Blackman’s biography was altered, and it was found that he had been conducting a 11 year affair, which were then conveniently deleted.

Labour MP Geraint Davie’s entry was wiped off the reality that he exhausted £2,285 on his kitchen, and £1,500 on his living room at the taxpayers’ expense through parliamentary expenses.

Tory MP Craig Whittaker’s arrest for a claimed attack on his son in 2012 was removed from his Wikipedia page by somebody inside the Commons – Mr Whittaker was freed with no charges.

The whole segment about expenses on Joan Ryan’s page was removed. Ms Ryan depleted thousands on repairs and decorations at her residence in Enfield prior to flipping it to another property.

The alterations were made while Ms Ryan was not an MP, and she has contested any participation, and then she was re-elected to Parliament this month.

Numerous other MPs pages were added with complimentary segments ahead of the general election, so clearly they were convinced that the outcome in the election were going to be good, and not bad, which is quite insulting when you think about it, because it then makes people think that the whole thing was rigged.

The page of Gordon Birtwistle, a preceding Liberal Democrat MP, was given a whole 298 word record of delivery on the 14th January, four months prior to seeking re-election by his constituents. However, he lost…

Dozens of other tiny alterations to MP pages were made, including adding references to favourable newspaper reports, quoting political awards, and adding Rht Hn in front of names, however, some changes were subsequently reversed by additional users.

Mark Lane, managing director of the information security company Portcullis, confirmed that the alterations were all made from IP addresses that are personal to the Houses of Parliament.

A spokesman for the Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats declined to make a statement, but said that all MPs were informed of these particular alterations, and had the chance to comment separately.

This is rubbish. Joan Ryan did not even have access to the Parliamentary Internet network from which these alterations were made.

In spite of his keenness for sports, Stephen Hammond does not particularly like walking. It has lately been divulged that he is one of the most frequent users of chauffeur driven cars, which convey ministers, or their red boxes across the United Kingdom. He, as well, only lives a piffling six miles from Westminster.

It’s crucial that we see a pattern surfacing here, and it might appear really insignificant to some, but to others it’s the greatest consequence. Together with, if the government is on the face of it, that inventive, then perhaps the public should become inspired as well.

Parliament’s most youthful MP, the SNP’s Mhairi Black, is making waves across the country following one of the most stimulating speeches in recent memory.  The 20 year old politician’s maiden speech has been commended by everybody from individual MPs to pop stars.

Yet how much is well known about the ascending star of Scottish politics?  When she was voted for in May, she became the youngest MP since the 17th Century.  The last holder of record was Christopher Monck, 2nd Duke of Albemarle, who passed away in 1688.

Mhairi Black drove out Labour’s previous foreign secretary Douglas Alexander from the Paisley and Renfrewshire seat, where she was born and raised.  Douglas Alexander had held a seat since 1997, however, it had been a Labour fortress for 70 years.

But Mhairi Black’s success with the better part of nearly 6,000 was an indication of things to come for the Labour party, as seat after seat fell to the SNP.  Mhairi only graduated with her politics degree last month, with first class honours from the University of Glasgow.

She was still studying for her final exam, approximately enough on Scottish politics, after swearing in as an MP.  She had to fit in cramming between Westminster discussions, revising in the Commons Library.  However, before being voted in, she had a career in a fish and chip shop.

If you watch her, she looks like any other normal young girl of her age.  An average young girl going through University, someone that was really unknown at the time, and not that significant in the scheme of things.

Nevertheless, for the record it’s quite clear that this young woman has a really frank and blunt approach, and I have expectations that in time to come she will manage to pollute and blacken the Conservatives for what they really are.

Her major speech since being voted in, known as her maiden speech, pretty much caused Twitter to melt down, with almost universal admiration being showered on the 20 year old graduate.

In her speech, she targeted George Osborne, noting that she was given assistance with her housing, while he’d axed housing benefit for under 21s.

She was stated as saying: “We are now in the ridiculous situation whereby because I am an MP, not only am I the youngest, but I am also the only 20 year old in the whole of the UK that the Chancellor is prepared to help with housing.”

She made aware of the distressing story of one jobseeker who burst into tears in front of her after not eating for five days.  He’d used the money to pay for his trips to the Jobcentre instead, leaving him with nothing to pay his bills.

That grown man was standing in front of a 20 year old crying his eyes out, and when he was on the bus on the way to the Jobcentre he fainted due to exhaustion and dehydration, because of this he was 15 minutes behind schedule for the Jobcentre, and he was sanctioned for 13 weeks, leaving him again with no money.

She went onto say: “When the Chancellor spoke in his Budget about fixing the roof while the sun is shining, I have to ask, on who is the sun shining?

“When he spoke about benefits not supporting certain kinds of lifestyles, is that the kind of lifestyle he’s talking about?

“Food bank use is going up and up.  Food banks are not part of the welfare state.  They’re a symbol that the welfare state is failing. ”

She said: “Tony Benn once said that in politics there are weathercocks and sign posts. Weathercocks will spin in whatever direction the wind of public opinion may blow them, no matter what principle they may have to compromise.

“And then there are signposts, signposts which stand true, and tall, and, principled. And they point in the direction and they say this is the way to a better society and it is my job to convince you why.

“Tony Benn was right when he said the only people worth remembering in politics were signposts.”

I hope this ladies journey is very fertile and flourishes.  This lady comes across as being really level headed, and I hope that her drudgery as an MP is as effective as her maiden speech.

There will be numerous people out there that will entrust themselves to her, and I hope that she’s a credit to them all.  It’s one thing making a maiden speech, but can she in fact make it as effective in practice?

This lady plainly knows where her ancestral roots lay, however, I really hope that she doesn’t get lost along the way.

Call centre staff in charge of helping people through the Tories’ welfare reforms are going on strike in an objection against their progressively harsh working culture.  Almost 1,500 Universal Credit workers are walking out following protests of employee deficits, poor training and money wasted on IT that wasn’t used.

They maintain they’re being given unfeasible goals as the governments top line to reshape is rolled out across Britain, over its original time limit and financial plan.  Bolton and Glasgow staff will walk out for 48 hours next Monday and Tuesday after 84% of the Public and Commercial Services Union Members elected for a strike.  The attendance was 56%.

The strike could roll out to other Universal Credit service centres in Bangor. Basildon, Dundee, Makerfield and Middlesbrough, union bosses said.  It’s the latest in a string of blows to Iain Duncan Smiths bid to roll a package of benefits into one simple payment.

Cost of Universal Credit has climbed to about £16 billion, and it will now take 9 years, a damaging watchdog report established last month.  Enormous costs incorporate £40 million which was used on computer codes which then wasn’t used, with officials admitting in 2013 it would end up having no value.

The PCS survey earlier this year established that 90% of staff still had concerns the IT network wouldn’t be good enough.  A think tank has as well picked holes in the welfare reform itself, saying fractures in the network will leave some people not wanting to look for work.

Yet, more and more trades that are posted state, that along with a requirement to have a degree and skills doing x, y, and z, the applicant must be in employment.  This is becoming ever more widespread as more and more people look for work.

There have been numerous reports about this sort of thing, and this presents a vast stumbling block, since there are plenty of people out there that are keen to work, but as time goes on, and their unemployment becomes long, they then misplace the eagerness to do anything about it.

The ignition to their keenness to work goes out as one day become two days, two days becomes a week, a week becomes a month, a month becomes a year, and then a year goes on until hell freezes over, and in the end the jobless are identified as work-shy and slothful.

There are some extremely hard-working people out there, that by no fault of their own have been made redundant, however, that doesn’t make them lazy, however, our ignorant government imagine that its smart enough to label them so, after all, the facts and figures say so, and they continually make us familiar with the statistics because thats all they have.

Its just a systemised and controlled product of control by the government, an accumulation of people who assemble together in an attempt to harvest human beings into common peasants for their own merriment, however, what they’re doing to us is insulting, and philistine in every way, but they like to be predators.

They love the hunt, like in the film Hunger Games where we are being abused and demoralised.  It’s just a vicious formation of indoctrination using a venom that induces the greatest possible fear, however, we need to reinstate our sanity.

The preference for employing the already working person has gone on for years and years, the distinction was, it used to be that hardly any people were jobless, because unemployment was low, and there was more of a chance that if you were out-of-work, you were at fault.

It’s always been easier to obtain a job when you have a job, and employing somebody is really hard, so businesses use proxies to help them.  We’re all familiar with an extremely simple proxy, the degree.  High school, college, or graduate degrees is in fact nothing more than a proxy for understanding, tenacity, and enough social skills to not get kicked out.

Bosses presume that your school was capable of telling if you were qualified for a degree. So they trust the school’s appraisal of you.  Since its really hard to tell how you’ll perform on the job, hiring managers look and see that another company values your work enough to carry on employing you, and if you don’t have a job, its like not having a degree, however, it doesn’t mean you’re not able, its just another proxy.

There used to be a time when you didn’t need an intermediary, and why should there be any class distinction, if you can do the work, or at least be given the prospect to show that you can at least do the job, one should be given the benefit of the doubt – And what is it with all these Cirriculum Vitae’s?

The idea was that we were a nation of equal opportunities, however, that’s not actually the case.  When they say equal, what they in fact mean is that you can put in an application for the job as an equal, but they don’t in fact have to hire you as an equal, they don’t even have to answer your job application, they can just leave you in the dark like a mushroom, not knowing whether you have the job or not.  Although it’s safe to say if you haven’t heard back from them inside 2 weeks, you safely don’t have the job.

The thing is, we are mushrooms, kept in the dark, and fed shit – It’s all bullshit!  They want to know the ins and outs of a cats posterior, they want this qualification, and that qualification, however, if you’re on Jobseekers Allowance, then of course you can work for free for your money, and it really doesn’t matter what qualifications you have at all, so long as your doing slave labour for a bunch of imbeciles who feed off what they consider the lower classes, its called entrapment.

We’ve all seen the stories about people being fired for sleeping on the job, stealing, being rude to customers or siphoning off thousands of pounds into private accounts.  Somehow our psyches seem to think that those are the only reason why people lose jobs.  Even people who have been laid off in the past somehow think that they were the exceptions, not the rule.  Being unemployed is a big problem, so you’re not taken into consideration.  It doesn’t matter that the higher unemployment is, the more likely you are to have competent people unemployed, the stereotype persists.

Businesses are flooded with candidates, and even some fast food chains require people to be working before bearing them in mind.  Ordinarily, fast food outlets are the first place you’d think would be employing the jobless, however, the mounting unemployment ratio means that more and more people are trying to get any work, and companies don’t like to employ people who want any job, they want to hire people who want this job, and the one way of cutting through applicants is to remove the any job applicants, and these are most likely to be the out-of-work.

The thing is that skills do decline without use, and if say you’re a nurse, and go 9 months without starting an IV drip, it means you’ll require some refreshers and additional help before you’re up to speed again.  If you’re a statistician, and go 12 months without doing a statistical analysis, it means you’ll have to think a little bit harder to do that first one.  Some professions are more skill heavy than others, and some have higher learning curves than others, and companies want people who require the smallest amount of instruction as possible.

The government know all this, however, their comeback is that people who are on Jobseekers are of no significance unless they’re employed, and if they’re not working and on Jobseekers, that they are less important in the food chain, and not worthy, which has constantly bewildered me, since I was under the premonition that everyone is deserving since we are all human beings with blood coursing through our blood vessels.

Finding a job is never simple, and in an economy with soaring unemployment, it’s even more arduous, but don’t presume that because you’re out-of-work you’ll never find work again.  Plenty of people can benefit from making some changes in how they approach their job hunts, and businesses would be smart to put an end the ill-conceived practice of discriminating, albeit legally, in nearly all cases, against the out-of-work before the government steps in and expands the rules.  There are a huge number of quality people who would be an asset to any organisation out there, and companies would be silly to exclude them.

A Tory councillor has been debarred from his local party after he posted a tweet claiming he’d told a Big Issue seller to f*ck off back to Romania.  Yet, four years ago, Mr. Frost, the member for North Deal and Dover District Council, was suspended from the Conservative party for posting about Jungle bunnies on Facebook.

The run in led to him leaving his post as a part-time maths teacher at a Kent school, although he was subsequently exonerated of any wrongful conduct by a standards committee.  Afterwards he used the term rag heads in a Facebook post after going on a Lynx helicopter.

In March of last year, he was tweeting about a potential alteration in management at the Port of Dover, he penned “Sale to frogs, /sons of camel drivers=bad.  Mutual ownership=good.” He as well tweeted last year that Labour voters lived on a diet of lard and fags.

In yet another tweet, posted soon after the election, he referred to Nicola Sturgeon, and her supporters as a ginger munchkin, and her hoard of Buckfast drinking, wife beating, professional welfare dependants.

Bob Frost has now been debarred pending further investigation.  It is felt that following the local comments, and comments on Facebook and Twitter, that these remarks are not appropriate.

Cllr Frost yesterday took a firm stand that he was being jocular, pointing out the blemishes in society, stating that it was sarcasm, pointing out what’s wrong with society, and that it was all an old joke.

Cllr Frost was suspended for four months in 2011 over his former remarks on social media, however, the latest case is to be viewed separately, but Cllr Frost should never have been permitted back onto the council in the first place.

There have been a number of cases where people in parliament have been going onto social media and disparaging people, and steps need to be taken to ensure that this does not happen again, because this kind of behaviour should not be endured, otherwise it looks like a minuscule amount of Satan lives in every Member of Parliament.

Our regard for government is waning, because by their own admission they’re unfolding a can of worms, since they’re the architect of their own labours, and rebellion against others is not the way to go about it, that is just complete and utter intimidation.

The power to fight this sort of thing should be an imprisonable offence.  If it were Joe Blogs down the road running their mouth off like Cllr Frost did, then they would be severely reprimanded for it, or even arrested.

The trouble is it’s an unfair system, and the people don’t have the right to decide what should happen to Cllr Frost, and eventually it will just get swept under the rug and blanked out.   Nevertheless, it has an effect on everyone, and it doesn’t give the government a sound image when something like this takes place.

We exist in a society that utilizes cyberspace on an everyday basis, however, that doesn’t mean that we have to misuse what is a really amazing thing.  The purpose of it wasn’t meant to separate us from each other, it was intended to bring us together, that’s why it’s called the World Wide Web.

All the same, people like Cllr Frost have breached this extremely amazing piece of equipment to his advantage, and that’s to berate people for his own entertainment, however, it’s really not amusing at all.  It merely labels people, and what he regards as satire is very lame for jocular funniness, and people are not laughing.

A study commissioned by the Local Government Association, established that 42% of all apprenticeships created in the last five years went to people ages over 25 years old.  It stated the current policy enabled businesses to train accomplished workers rather than unemployed young people.

The government said the number of young people not in employment, education or training was at its lowest in the decade, however, it has sworn to create a further three million apprenticeships before the close of Parliament in 2020. 

The report, by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), and the Local Government Association (LGA), established 67% of intermediate skilled apprentices were already hired by their company when they were given their apprenticeships.

The study as well, said demand for apprenticeships, especially amongst young people had soared, with one million people applying for 85,000 vacancies last year.

In 2013-14 under 19s applied for 57% of the advertised apprenticeships, however, only 27% were given to them, whereas over 25s made up 7% of the applications, yet occupied 37% of the vacancies.

The study’s authors said the government needed to tackle substantial regeneration of the apprenticeship system, which they stated was failing to get to grips with stubbornly high levels of youth unemployment.

A high caliber apprenticeship system could be utilized to combat youth unemployment, and push higher productivity, however, the system we presently have is failing to deliver.

It needs to be steered in a direction where it gives our teens a chance, and an advantage in the workplace.  It’s actually a no brainer.   If you give an apprenticeship to a young person who is straight out of school, you don’t have to be a bright spark to learn a trade.  

If one is shown how to do the job, one will finally pick it up, and become really adept at it.  We’re all human beings, and we have the knowledge to do things when demonstrated, and that’s worth more money than money itself, to be part of something, and to feel significant enough that someone wants to show us, and make us part of something important.

It’s not always about the wages that we’re going to get at the end of it, it’s about job gratification, and being in the right job for that person, because if we’re not happy in our working environment, then we don’t work to the best of our ability. 

Our children are our future, so we should throw out all the regulations we have now, and centralise on those that are going to make England a better place, if only we gave them a chance, because our children are leaving school with nothing to go on to, and consequently they’re becoming disappointed and bored which is marring their self respect. 

There’s a large gap between the function apprenticeships should have in our economic system, and how they’re being used in practice.  The bulk of apprentices are being used to train older people, and those who are already employed at their company, rather than taking on young people that are out of work.

There are far too many young people that are not in work, and there should be efforts to alter this, by taking on more young apprentices.  It might be tighter on finances, however, the government keeps harping on about unemployment data, and how we must get more people back into employment, so therefore, they should put their hands in their pockets and come up with a programme, and the plan should be to get more young people back into work by tendering an apprenticeship through companies.

It should not be an option for companies to take on apprentices so that they are able to learn a trade. It should be compulsory that businesses take on apprentices.  The hypothesis is, that more young people would be in employment, and that would give them more self respect, instead of thinking, because they can’t obtain employment, that they are unworthy, which induces more problems than it’s worth.

The parents of a five year old were enraged after being informed by the NHS that their three stone son was fat, and needed to go to a fat club.  Paul and Sarah Hurry had at all times considered themselves on giving healthy meals for their six children.

So the couple was distressed when it was stated by a nurse that their athletic and energetic son Max, who at 3ft 6in tall, weighs 3st 3lb, was overweight as part of the NHS’ Child Measurement programme.

The family was even summoned to a healthy lifestyle assessment to train them how to feed their children.

Mr Hurry, 47, from Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, stated he didn’t know whether chuckle about it, or feel infuriated after being given a letter which he depicted as political correctness gone mad.  The note from Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust, which was based on the youngster’s BMI reading, which went on to state that Max’s weight could steer onto grave health difficulties such as asthma and diabetes.

It even informed it might make him more susceptible to bullying and having low self respect.  However, Mr Hurry and wife Sarah takes issue with any statements, and that their bouncy young boy was far from unhealthy.

The father of six had challenged the nurse during the initial meeting back in February when she stated to him Max was obese.  Mr Hurry asked the nurse to look at him, and to let him know how his son was fat, and that he was simply not overweight.

The nurse said he is overweight because that was what the chart said, nevertheless, Mr Hurry was in the belief that there was no point reasoning with somebody who simply has no judgement on these things.

However, after sniggering off the fears, they were enraged to be given the letter purporting they should take part in a fat club.

They laughed it off because he was always out playing football, or on his bike, and eats healthily.

Even so, the letter turned up telling them they we were duty-bound to go to a meeting to talk over how they feed their children.  When they first saw it, they weren’t sure whether to be really vexed, or laugh it off as some type of political correctness gone insane.

They’re still undecided about it.

The pair said they take considerable care to make healthy food for their six children, and had not ever been told any of Max’s siblings were fat.  They all consume identical meals, and they all share the same build.

Mr Hurry stated that Max has an older sister, six year old Matilda, who is disabled and as a result will only eat salmon, chicken, vegetables and a bit of potato, so the whole family would eat the same.

Every night the children have fresh salmon, or fresh chicken with some new potatoes and vegetables.  Maybe once a week they’ll have something less nourishing, just to give a little respite, nevertheless, it will still be something like chicken dippers, not a takeaway or rubbish.

It’s all rubbish, all this governmental insanity gone wrong, and this isn’t the first time with all this political madness, there have been other instances.

A hospital has banned visitors from cooing at babies that had just been born. The principle? It could infringe on the infants’ human rights.  What a load of rubbish, next they’ll be saying to you that you can’t breath on them as well.  It is just insulting our intelligence.

A sign on the crib, said: “I deserve to be left undisturbed and protected against unwanted public view.” However, a great deal of new parents stated they were pleased and delighted to show off their newborn child.

Circumventing the point here, a headmistress ruled in June that girls at her Dorset school must be groomed in trousers at all times. It sourced enraged protests from pupils and parents, nevertheless, Marilyn Warden took a firm stand that even knee-length skirts did not adequately protect their modesty.

A council in Cornwall prohibited a Punch and Judy show following women’s rights objectors mounted objection fighting its beastly storyline.  Ladies handed out pamphlets to kids as young as four, tendering without a charge, confidential support to any woman, including bisexual or homosexual women, who’s going through domestic violence.

For generations, children going to school have enjoyed making Mother’s and Father’s Day cards to take home. Yet, the country’s largest guidance service now promotes its pupils to make special person cards instead.

A band of headmasters disobeyed the public surge in school conker prohibitions, and even called off classes to hold conker championships. The long-established pastime has been criminalised in schools across the nation for health and safety purposes.

Following decades of appropriate memorials to our war dead, a shower of paper poppies at a Remembrance Day service was prohibited because they were a fire hazard.

The trouble is that people are currently so cold-eyed and unresponsive that we without question have no accuracy on what is factual and what’s not, and what’s more is that the standards change all the time.

However, this little laddie, he’s just an average and energetic young lad.   However, the letter from Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust states that the results proposed that the child’s weight to height ratios. In line with the age and sex of the child was a worry.

It went onto state that excess weight could lead to dangerous health troubles, and in short this could result in emotional well being, such as bullying, low self-respect, asthma and the progressive arrival of diabetes.

The letter in addition stated that their GP would like to help, and would be contacting them shortly to invite their son and family to go to a Healthy Lifestyle Review.

Mr Hurry is now taking into consideration going along to the healthy review with his family to question the staff about their fat assertions.  As he wants to know which one of his children are overweight, and what needs to alter in their choice of food, because as far as he is concerned not one of his children are fat.

Most kids have a small amount of puppy fat when they’re younger, however, with exercise, and a sound diet, this minuscule amount of puppy fat vanishes over time, however, the importance is not to make it too much of an issue, otherwise we will end up with kids who are obsessed with being overweight, and will end up walking about hungry, and looking anorexic.

Bullying involves recurring acts of physical, emotional, or social behaviour that are intentional, controlling, and hurtful.  Bullying is a learned behaviour, observable as early as 2 years of age.

Bullying is defined by a power imbalance between the bully and its prey.  A power that can be gained from physical size, strength, verbal skill, popularity, or gender.    

A bully’s target feels tortured, helpless and defenceless, and if you believe that your child is being bullied, you should talk to your child and trust that what they are telling you is true, and not brush it under the rug.

Talk over with your child that being bullied is not their fault, and that they don’t have to face it alone.

The parent should gather as much information as possible about the situation, and instruct the child to not respond to his/her attackers, but to be assertive and walk away, or get assistance if required.

Tell your child to report any intimidation straightaway to a trusted adult, and the parent should get in touch with the school, teacher, or counsellor, and always stay calm.  Don’t ever respond to any bullying.

When kids bully each other using the internet, mobile phones, or other cyber technology by sending hateful or venomous text, e-mail, or instant messages, or by posting hateful pictures or messages about others in a chat room, on bulletin boards, on blogs, or on websites, then they should be reported immediately, but don’t ever react to any Cyber bullying, and screen shot and save all correspondence or postings.

If your child is physically attacked, and when we say physically, we mean by force, hitting, or otherwise attacking, then the parent needs to talk to the teachers and the school principal immediately.

The parent should take pictures of any injuries, and they should have their child write down a detailed description of what happened.

The police should be called immediately if there is any physical violation of any type, which includes hitting, kicking, slapping, tripping, and hair-pulling.

Parents should also talk to a solicitor/Lawyer if the child has been physically assaulted by another student.

In a collective, children and older students do tend to bicker, and some just single others out, some just to show off, and others because of the way that they have been brought up in the home.  

We are not born bullies, we become bully’s because of what we see, and what we’re shown, and so that the emphasis is not on them, but on others.  It’s all about possession, and taking charge of something that they can command because they’re unable to control themselves.

It’s our animal instinct that refers to our behaviour and habits, including body language, elimination habits, hostility, play and communication.  Many common behaviours include hunting and grooming, however, it can change greatly among individuals.  Some might appear to interact with others more easily, while others do not seem to do as well.  In a family with many children, the interactions appear to alter depending on which individuals are present, and how limited the territory and the resources are.

Even so, bullying isn’t acceptable behaviour, and dominance over this should be seen in the home of the parents, nevertheless, this is not always a possibility, particularly if all that the bully is experiencing is hostility inside the home.  Another pattern of bullying is through peer pressure that is influenced in a peer group, when observers or individuals encourage others to change their attitudes, values, or behaviours to adapt to a group.

Peers become a significant influence on behaviour during adolescence, and peer pressure has been called a hallmark of adolescent experience.

Peer conformity in young people is most pronounced with regard to trend, taste, appearance, ideology, and values, and is normally affiliated with instalments of adolescent risk taking, such as willful neglect, drug abuse, sexual behaviours, and reckless driving because these actions commonly happen in the company of peers.

Affiliation with friends who engage in risk behaviours has been shown to be a strong predictor of an adolescent’s own behaviour, however, peer pressure can also have positive effects when youths are forced by their peers towards positive behaviour, such as volunteering for a charity, or surpassing in academics.

While socially accepted kids often have the most opportunities, and the most positive experiences, being in the popular gang may also be a risk element for mild to temperate deviant behaviour.

Popular teenagers are the most socialised into their peer groups, and therefore are more vulnerable to peer pressures, such as behaviours normally set aside for this for more outstanding matureness and reasoning.

Socially accepted kids are frequently accepted for the sheer fact that they adjust well to the norms of teen culture, with good and bad aspects included, and popular adolescents are more strongly associated with their peer group’s likes such as intoxicants, tobacco and drugs.

Many popular pupils also make lower grades than less socially accepted kids. This is perhaps due to the fact that popular students may spend more time vexing about their social life instead of studying.

We perpetually hear about bullying on a regular basis, and sometimes it becomes so high-risk that you also hear of teenagers taking their own lives because of the brutality that another teenager, or a group of teenagers has put on another person.  

In the playground of adolescence we support bullying as a playground caper, and thus reinforce it, and brush it under the carpet.   However, you can title it what you like, but at the end of the day, it’s still bullying, and a hurdle that we must address.  It’s not a brain-teaser. It’s very real, and we must always question why it happens.

We are all born with a blank canvas, we are not born with this congenital enthrallment to bully another human being, however, some of us, as we get older search out others to create havoc upon.  So, this must have been learned from somewhere, and it’s essential that once this bullying is brought out into the open by a student, or the parent of that student that it’s nipped in the bud as soon as possible.

How do we do this, with control, and we need to analyse all aspects of the situation, however, what we can’t do is quash the situation and pretend it’s not happening, when we know that it is.  You can’t conceal bullying because it won’t go away, and whoever it’s happening to can’t fight it off, it’s not as simple as that.

Foremost the student that’s being bullied needs to know that they can approach someone of authority, or their parents without judgement because the student has done nothing amiss, and should not be made to feel that they have.  

It’s one thing the student approaching somebody to confide in, but it’s another thing bringing the bullies forward to acknowledge that they have done something wrong because in their eyes it was all in fun, and they never meant anything by it, when clearly they did, and then the student will go away feeling uplifted that the bully has been chastised for their wrong-doing, but then the student is then bullied once more, but more so because they ratted on the bully or bullies.

With a bully, it’s almost like a line of work, and the prey is the student.  Bullying can also take place in a place of work among adults.  The adult might seem well mannered, but underneath they are really vulgar and ill-mannered, and they will pollute anyone that they can with their gibe like comments. 

Nobody has the authorisation to bully another human being because being a human being means that one is worthy of more than that. Everybody deserves to be handled with esteem, and to be stripped of that respect is a let down on the human species.  Given that we should be permitted to air our feelings about other people, but not to the detriment of another persons life, that is taboo.
