The Prohibited Stroke

Nanny’s lackeys in Blackburn council have decided that the centuries old swimming technique, the backstroke, is in fact highly dangerous.

Therefore this “prohibited stroke”, a term more akin to a service provided in a brothel, has now been banned in Daisyfield pool Blackburn. The council spokesman, Kate Hollern, claims that the ban will lessen the chances of dangerous collisions; she also noted that it follows “national guidelines”.

However, it seems that Kate Hollern is talking nonsense. The Institute of Sport and Recreation Management has clarified that it has NOT issued any guidance recommending the ‘banning’ of backstroke in public swimming pools.

Therefore we have to ask the question as to whether Ms Hollern and her colleagues at Blackburn council are lying, or are simply just too lazy to conduct some cursory research.

As usual with Nanny and her “helpers” they act without thinking, or checking the facts.

Ladies and gentlemen we are being governed by lazy, dishonest “intellectual pygmies”; whose prime objective is to build for themselves a permanent, well paid, power base founded on fear.

The best way to deal with these “petty dictators” is to ignore them and, when the time comes, vote them out of office.
