Kid cant do anything these days, unless it costs the parents a fortune.
Cant climb trees 'coz some prat complains to police that the tree is being vandalized and that it dangerous to let them climb trees
Cant build dens 'coz some prat complains that its lowers the tone of the area. Police and council demolish the dens and warn the parents that there was no planning permission granted.
Cant play in farmers fields just incase they fall and hurt themselves. If they did fall then the politically correct parent would sue farmer.
Cant play, out of hours, football or other games on school fields 'coz there are to many people complaining about noisy kids, and schools are scared of being sued if kids hurt themselves on playing fields.
Cant eat mud and worm, case they die. No wonder these kids immune system is carp.
Cant play hop-scotch 'coz drawing on pavement with chalk is deemed vandalism
Apple trees are full 'coz kid wont touch them because the politically correct deem it to be theft
Cant play conkers just in case they hurt themselves
Cant go for walks if there more than 4 of them, if they do some prat informs the police that theres a gang of kids walking around the area.
Cant camp overnight 'coz the prats report them for having too much fun and are laughing to loud
Cant dangle worms in a river unless the parents fork out for a licence and permit, and correct fishing tackle.
Cant chuck stones into sea or lake 'coz some prat decides its dangerous and pure vandalism.
Cant sit or climb walls 'coz some prat has decided that the kids will damage the wall and pinch the stones
Cant try cooking food on an open fire 'coz they might get a dickie stomach, an some prat thinks its arson and calls fire service and police,
Cant be seen covered in mud 'coz the prats think it common
The list is endless. The wise amongst us have already realised why there are so many angry kids out there. They have lost their freedom from a young age and are always on the defensive.
When the get to school leaving age they look like death, pale and whimpy. cant lift or do any manual work 'coz they were never allowed to exert themselves. They cant solve mechanical problems 'coz they never had too. The only tools they can associate with are keyboards and joy sticks.
If they get wet in the rain then they will die of some horrible disease.
As for common sense, if the computer says NO then thats it.
Its bloody hard work toughening up these whimps.
If they cut themselves or worst develope a blister then god help us. They need major surgery, sick leave and compensation.
Even, some, sane politicians are now realising why the kids are so angry.
Its about time the Victor Mildrew's gave these kids some slack and let them grow up gradually. Not all kids are the same so why are they all classed as thugs.
The blame falls on the older politically correct do gooder that were never kids themselves
Its about time the bloody government opened their eyes, they might then see that this shiite country does home people under 16, and that these youngsters deserve some attention.
Kids cant vote for them can they.

Coal burning and acid emissions have nothing to do with C02 output, they are to do with the fact that British coal has a high sulphur content. This can be scrubbed from the waste gasses and be processed into useful chemicals such as sulphuric acid.

If you didn't burn the coal you wouldn't have any CO2 output - so how can you say there is no link? Coal is pretty much pure carbon and when you burn it in oxygen it combines to form (and release) CO2. How can you say it has nothing to do with it?

Because carbonic acid is very very weak. pH 6.5 i.e nearly neutral.

Oh, and coal is not near pure carbon, its a hydrocarbon, with more hydrogen by percentage (not mass) than carbon.

Eh?
It was never a good decision to squander our limited natural gas reserves on generating electricity. Now we have to import gas and the suppliers have us over a barrel. There were other paths that could have been taken.
the ph is 6.5 would make good gravel
Thatcher wasn't as good as the neo-liberals try to claim, and she wasn't as bad as the left try to claim. The trade unions had far too much power in the 1970s, and esentially held this country to ransom through pure greed because they were allowed to. Thatcher didn't let them, and the left will never forgive her for kicking them off the biggest gravy train they ever had.
Thatcher cannot be blamed for the collapse of the coal industry- Scargill can. The market for coal had collapsed with the advent of North Sea gas, as only heavy industry used the stuff, and they didn't need as high a quality as domestic customers. Scargil tried to bend Thatcher over a barrel, like he had done with the others, but Thatcher wouldn't be bent by the sheer greed of the NUM. Because of the strike British industry had to turn to foreign coal, and they never turned back when they realised it was far cheaper.
Much of the privatisation that Thatcher undertook was for the best. British Airways should not have been subsidised by the taxpayer to offer a commercial service, and nor should British Leyland, BAe and the rest.
But the way she let the mining communities die was pure spite, and that can't be forgotten or forgiven too easily. The Poll Tax was the fairest local tax system we've had yet- you paid for what you used- but because the left have never liked paying their way when the "rich" (curiously never themselves) can pay for everything instead it disappeared.
As for the Falklands, she was perfectly right to go to war over it. The Argentinians invaded our country as much as if they'd marched up Brighton beach, they had been given enough warnings not to do it, and they paid the price for invading another sovereign nation. They tried to invade our country because they didn't think we'd care, and we did. You won't find many Falklanders who were against the war, as they did not want to be ruled by Argentina through force.
It's important to put Thatcher into context, really. She was not ideal, but she was a million times better than what went before.
We should concentrate now on how Brown is destroying manufacturing in this country, for instance, and for selling all our gold reserves - practically unnoticed by the public ... today is the reality.

Now importing gas. Buying it back from companies that we exported it to.

I agree we should have kept ours in reserve and used the cheap imported stuff. Instead we chose to have a party - but it just ended.
Trust you to go off at a tangent
