Tories attack lesbians?

From Dizzy, I discover that Zac Goldsmith 'Saviour of the World''s ecologist magazine is getting a little nanny-state with their views...
From a purely ecological standpoint, many vibrators and other sex toys don’t pass muster. They can be made of PVC and contain phthalates – cancer-promoting and hormone-disrupting chemicals. PVC also promotes a great deal of waste in its manufacture, and phthalates – which have been banned in children’s toys but not in grown-up toys – take a long time to break down. The lubricants necessary for the use of many sex toys can contain synthetic substances derived from petrochemicals and are likewise unsound.


Oh, bugger off and leave us alone. I mean, what stage have we reached when it is supposed to be safer to insert something which can shatter into your whatsit because the PVC ones take longer to break down?

The BBC and politicians might be convinced that climate change is a man made phenomenon (I suspect because it gives them another excuse to tax and control us)but there are some of use out there who tend to think for ourselves.

I would love to see our 'right honoruables' discuss this is parliament!! A bit like this wonderful piece from US of A http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Vav6b5F-_64

Mr Goldsmith is free not to use PVC toys if he likes, perhaps one made from wood or maybe sandstone be be more to his liking. Likewise he is free not to use lubricant with it if he chooses. However he has absolutely no place trying to dictate what any other consenting adults get up to in the bedroom.

Is it possible for somebody to sound more pompous than Goldsmith while describing something so ridiculous? I love the bit when he says that lubricants are 'likewise unsound'.

You have to re-read 1984 every now and then, one of the things that The Party does to really f*** with people's minds is make them feel guilty about having sex, I mean, how's somebody supposed to relax if they are simultaneously supposed to worry about whether the batteries are re-charge-able or not?

I mean, Vaseline has proudly labelled itself 'petroleum jelly' since time immemorial.
