After googling I just found out that "In nature, unsaturated fatty acids generally have cis as opposed to trans configurations". That just sounds weird.

It literally just means "on the same side" and "on the other side"

In chemistry it refers to whether some of the pertinent groups are on the same or opposite sides of the molecule. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis%E2%80%93trans_isomerism

So a cis isomer has both groups on one side, a trans isomer has them on other sides.

Fatty acids would presumably have the acid groups on one side of the molecule rather than on opposite sides.

Benefits cheats admit they get 'TOO MUCH' dole: New documentary lifts lid on scroungers
A BENEFITS scrounger has blasted the Government for giving him too much cash.

Daniel Shaw gets almost £1,400 a month in handouts – more than many hard-working Brits earn.

But the serial convict complains it’s not his fault he hasn’t worked for two years.

In a shocking new TV documentary Daniel says: “It’s the Government’s fault because they’re making me pick the easy way. They’re giving me loads of money.”

CRACK DOWN: The doc raises questions for George Osborne about the UK's welfare provision

Officials at his Jobcentre have been trying to help find Daniel work but he says he lies about how many jobs he is applying for hoping to avoid having to get one.

He said: “Within a two-week period, I apply for four or five jobs. I write that I applied for 10, the Jobcentre will look at that and tick my booklet and just say ‘OK, he can have his benefit’.

“This booklet, you might as well call it a story – the majority of it, 75% to 80% is just made-up bulls***.”

Daniel is just one of the scroungers who will be appearing in Channel 5’s show Benefits: The £2million Shoplifter.

SHOCKING: Shaw regularly splashes tax-payer funded benefits in the casino

In one shocking scene he splashes £140 of his benefit money in a casino after claiming he is hooked on gambling.

But he is adamant he is doing nothing wrong when he squanders cash from the taxpayer on betting.

Daniel said: “Technically there’s no rules to say what I should spend that money on.

“I couldn’t give a toss what anyone thinks.

“Regardless if you’re on benefits or working, my money is my money and I’ll do what I want with it.

“Why should I get a job when I earn more money on my benefits?”

“As it stands I’m on more money than someone working on minimum wage in a shop makes. Why should I get a job when I earn more money on my benefits?

“I don’t want to be known as a lazy benefits scrounger but they are dishing out money left, right and centre so I’m going to take these benefits.

“It’s the Government’s fault. It’s ridiculous.”

Daniel uses food banks because he regularly gambles away his cash.

He said: “I had to come to the food bank because the Government gave me my money all in one day which I’ve gambled away. It’s them to blame for why I’m at the food bank.

“It’s about £30 to £40 worth of food. I got a £100 loan off my cousin, which I could have used but this service is here to help me, it was entitled to me."

Some of the people I work with read this thing and believe it is news.

"I got more money from the post office than I should have", admits serial armed robber.

You don't close down a service that helps people in need just because a small percentage of people choose to deliberately game that. They didn't close down the banks and stock markets because of people defrauding them, so why should

No. I know. It's because one is for poor people. But I have to go through this motion every time someone blasts the benefits system because somebody cheated it.

The best response is probably "so we kill him then?"

Because ultimately that's what it comes down to, you either kill people or you pay for them to live. If people just won't work then they either end up in prison or dead, which do you think is appropriate here?

I'm not sure, the story doesn't mention any children or other dependants so if he's on his own you'd be looking at income based JSA (just over £300 a month), council tax support (varies based on local authority and CT band but unlikely to be much over £100) and the big unknown, housing benefit.

What were the police being pelted with?

Styrofoam, paint, water bottles, think I saw a couple of sticks fly about. All I know is the worst damage the police suffered was maybe a slightly bruised ego, while we were organising support lines of water bottles and tissues for the black bloc folk ducking back to get their cut up faces and hands treated.

EDIT: Oh and of course the infamous "smoke grenade".

That's because they were honest benefit claimants who stressed out because they were seeking work and miserable because they were taking only their due. The jobless folk living the high life are screwing the system for every possible penny (and teaching their Horde of Illegitimate Children to do likewise) and are not worried about finding work because they never wanted to work.

It's broadly theft. You can go to a shop and nick stuff or you can go to the jobcenter and nick benefits. If you're giving fraudulent information to get money out of people it's not a benefits problem, the problem is you're committing fraud.

I don't really get why it's not viewed like that.

Nobody had even thought about the hole in millennia in England's green and pleasant hillsides, when all of a sudden a buzzing emerged from the concrete jungle of a gay club full of gays. It rose above the concrete skyline like as a plague of locusts, a mushroom cloud of individual black vermin. Slowly, as the winds blew, they settled into the thatches and mock Tudor beams of a thousand houses, laying eggs which would hatch and wriggle and seek the nearest human warmth and, when found, whisper into their ear "have you tried it in the butt?"

What actually happened with those laws? I seem to recall it ended up illegal to produce porn of that in the UK or something but not illegal to watch?

Because I mean, if that's so, they're really only hurting the economy by creating a purely import market for being pissed on while a big woman sits on your face.
