Friday Funny – Farmer answers Greenpeace fracking protesters with manure sprayer

This farmer decided to fight B.S. with B.S., literally.

Josh writes: Emma Thompson is in the news again with her mobile bake off protest against fracking in Lancashire.

The actress joined Greenpeace fracking protesters by occupying private land slated for gas exploration that had been posted as “no trespassing” by court injunction, even mugging for cameras as they climbed over the fence.

Isn’t she the most annoying cow? A few years ago she sent her adopted (black) son to a predominantly white Exeter University…then complained that he was he was given an unpleasant experience. The poor bloke deserves better than to have that as a ‘mum’.

Maybe ‘CS for BS’. A couple of years ago during our Heritage Days weekend I was standing on the sidewalk down town when a chicken poop truck drove by. As it did you could here a couple of tourists loudly complaining about the rather noticeable odor. A couple of local ladies were standing next to me. I had to laugh when one of ’em told the other: “Smells like money to me.” And her companion responded: “Sure does, don’t it.” … Guess it’s all in your perspective.

Those who identify as liberal are mere shadows of their former selves. It’s as if they’ve abandoned their core values and have gone full-on authoritarian. In fact, I think more right leaning people are more liberal, in the traditional sense, than those who claim to be liberal and this isn’t the first time we’ve gone through a polar flip…I think the last time we did was back in the 60s?

When I was a pup people would describe themselves as small ‘l’ liberal or small ‘c’ conservative and we would know approximately where they stood.
These days, it’s hard to know what ‘liberal’ means. It may be one of those words whose meaning might have changed (more than once).
In my own case, I am reduced to: “A yam, what a yam.” link

At one time most Liberals were what some today refer to as “Classical Liberals” (a dying or perhaps dead breed), that is those Liberals who believed in Liberty, not Statism. Unfortunately many Conservatives today are also Statists, although to a lesser degree than today’s Liberals. Both “Classical Liberals” and “Classical Conservatives” are on the endangered list especially with most of today’s politicians. You certainly wouldn’t call the current Conservative British PM a Classical Conservative..

The same strategy works with cats. Spray with a little vinegar and eventually they’ll stop scratching the furniture.

That only works if you do it while they’re not looking. The trick is to make them think the thing they’re scratching is spraying them but if they see you…the jig up!
Perhaps the same logic could apply to this?

When I was at primary school (mind you that was on the other side of the Iron Curtain) if anyone held pencil the way that policemen does, it would get a ticking off with a long (about 50cm) wooden ruler, known as the ‘enforcer’. We all had to learn to write holding pencil with thumb on one side, index and middle finger on the other, with remaining two fingers folded under. Kids had to learn from very young age to obey the authority.

Vuk: “We all had to learn to write holding pencil with thumb on one side, index and middle finger on the other, with remaining two fingers folded under.
That’s exactly how I was taught too – not behind the Iron Curtain but in England during the War (Second World, not the First!).

“Subject to a court injunction” means a violation is technically “contempt of court” – an infraction which is entirely subject to the decision of the judge (no jury required) and which has no sentencing guidelines. There is photographic evidence that they were aware of the injunction and chose to disregard it anyway. No plea required.

April 29, 2016 7:45 am

I’ll bet those wild eyed one worlders never even noticed since none of them have bathed in years.

A few decades ago, I decided that the best way to control any unruly crowd, was for chemists to come up with a gas (like teargas), that would cause an instant release of protesters’ bowels. They would become their own instant sh.t storm. Problem solved.

One of these times, a protest will go like this: the Usual Suspects will chain themselves to a fence, someone will open another gate, let in the trucks, and then go about their business. Then everyone will go home as the police are under no obligation to bring bolt cutters with them.

April 29, 2016 8:08 am

Yeah, and besides, there weren’t any protesters there. The sign said it was forbidden so if the government decrees it is not allowed, well then of course that takes care of the matter and no one could possibly be there, right?
How could that farmer be doing anything but spraying manure on his field?

I hope that she didn’t bake those muffins in a gas oven.
Or an electrical over powered by the gas reliant grid.
I expect that those muffins were baked by magical pixie power, which is accessible only to those who try really really really hard to believe in a magical future where cakes bake themselves.
And where solar panels work during dark winter evenings whilst all the mummies are baking muffins for their darlings in the dream utopia of tomorrowland.
Don’t these idiots realize that we need MORE gas generation capacity BECAUSE of the solar and wind that they themselves are trying to promote.

It’s not just a symbolic detail.
Encouraging vast numbers of people to take to their ovens really will have upped the national consumption of energy.
Since home-baking of novelty cakes is a very energy intensive way of manufacturing unhealthy and non-essential food.
These people really are the perfect useful idiots – convincing U.K. people to use more gas and electric, whilst protesting against U.K. energy independence and on-shore gas development.
It’s really amazing to watch them in action.
Robots programmed to destroy the infrastructure of the target nation, could not do a better job!!!
