Brighton Gets Things Arse About Face - 'Elf and Safety Strikes Again

In Brighton, seemingly, things are built before checking the health and safety requirements.

The lovely Queens Park has had a wooden jetty built by the side of the pond. The project started at the end of March this year, and was meant to be completed within five weeks.

Fast forward to today's date (mid July) and, as you can see, the project remains unfinished and boarded off. Completion expected end of August!

For why?

It seems that health and safety concerns have been raised by the Royal Society for The Prevention of Accidents, eg the need for child proof gate etc.

The need for gates etc may be all very well and necessary in this risk averse age (no doubt). However, to my simple mind, should these issues not have been raised during the design phase?

Nanny Wants To Put Us All To Sleep

Not content with telling us what to eat, smoke and drink, Nanny has now decided to tell us how to sleep and how long we should sleep!

The Guardian reports that a leaked draft of a public health green paper, due to be published by Nanny's health secretary, Matt Hancock, says that Nanny will review the evidence on sleep and health.

It suggests the minimum amount will vary depending on how old someone is, and the paper will give advice on “sleep hygiene”, according to the Times, which obtained the document.

It was reported the guidance was likely to state regularly getting less than seven hours’ sleep a night could damage most people’s health.

The leaked draft says:

“This is with a view to informing the case for clear national guidance on the daily recommended hours of sleep for individuals in different age brackets, and to raise awareness of the key ‘sleep hygiene’ factors that can support healthy sleeping.”

As with all of Nanny's busybody interventions, she tries to justify this by saying it will save the NHS money.

The fact is if we all dropped dead now, the NHS would also save lots of money!

Fruit Juices Cause Cancer...Except They Don't!

In a veritable media splurge, lead by the Mail, hapless fruit juice drinkers (remember folks fruit juice is part of Nanny's Five a Day!) have been confronted with lurid headlines telling them that fruit juice will give them cancer.

All very frightening and worrisome, until that is you bother to check what the actual risk of getting caner is..according to the BMJ it is 1.12%!

Nanny and her lickspittles in the media do themselves no favours by this nonsensical and idiotic scaremongering!

Health and Safety Advice - Avoid Imelda Marcos's Birthday Parties

As loyal readers know, I am not normally a fan of  'elf and safety. However, in this particular case I will don my Nanny pince nez and urge you to avoid going to any future birthday parties hosted by Imelda Marcos.

For why?

As per Stuff:

"More than 240 people were brought to hospitals in the Philippine capital Manila Wednesday with suspected food poisoning in an event celebrating the 90th birthday of former first lady Imelda Marcos.

Bryant Wong, a disaster-response officer, said dozens of ambulances transported at least 244 people who either vomited or grew dizzy hours after eating a breakfast of chicken stew with egg and rice and drinking water in a sports centre in suburban Pasig city."

Sugar Sugar!

It seems that Nanny's obsession with people's alleged increased sugar consumption is somewhat misplaced.

The above figures show that sugar consumption has, in fact, been declining over the years (long before the absurd and irrelevant sugar tax was imposed).

Now then, given that Nanny still tells us we are fat pigs she will have to find other things to blame...

Coming soon....

THE FAT TAX!

Boris To Abolish Sin Taxes and Curb The Nanny State?

I see that Boris, if he becomes PM, will abolish sin taxes and curb the excesses of the Nanny state.

Now whether or not that actually happens, given that he will have an uphill battle weeding out Nanny's many minions in state funded quangos and the civil service, I am still more than delighted to see that this has annoyed Nanny May's minions!

Number 10 surprisingly not happy at Boris' bashing of the sin taxes. "Rhetoric isn't reality" one No 10 source fumed to me last night. Sour grapes? 🍇🍇🍇
