Lawyers. Who needs them?!

I really don’t get on with lawyers. Not entirely true. There are a few I would consider good friends. But for most of them, especially in my business area of pensions, I would much prefer to work without them!

Pension lawyers are not the worst though. How about those who advise the poor old manufacturer? I came across this individual portion of butter the other day. It warns me that butter contains milk! (And someone paid a lawyer for that packaging advice!)


Then there is the salt sachet that warns – you’ve guessed it- this salt sachet contains salt!


Not content to moronically instruct us on butter and salt, we are then advised that a bag of peanuts…. Well, you’re ahead of me by now, I’m sure……

No Pain. No Shame?

The Royal College report was released last week. It advises that at 24 weeks, the child in the womb can feel no pain. This seems to have been latched on to by the ‘pro-choice’ abortion lobby as reason for abortions to continue up to 24 weeks.

However, science also shows that the heart begins to beat from 21 days and that the brain begins to function after 40 days from inception. Children have survived out of the womb from 20 weeks onwards.

Is it any comfort that the child feels no pain as their head is crushed by the forceps?

It is said that the 1.1 million Jews who died in the gas chambers of Auschwitz, the second world war concentration camp, felt no pain as they died. It is said that the 200,000 UK children killed in the womb every year feel no pain as they die.
