Nanny has lectured us for quite some time now about the evils of our poor diet. Yet she has been saddened and shocked by the fact that we just keep on ignoring her, what a shame!Well she is fed up with being ignored like this, she is after all only trying to help us live "better" lives.
To this end she has decided to take a more proactive approach.
She has decided to ban chocolate.
Nurses working for Barnsley Hospital Care Trust have now been banned from buying chocolate. The ban affects 3 hospitals in the area; chocolate will no longer be sold in the staff canteens, as part of a health drive.
This rather nasty, and spiteful, attempt at restricting an innocent pleasure may in fact be just the tip of the iceberg.
You see Nanny now employs around 7 million people in the UK, that is quite a large section of the population over which she can exercise control.
I have a suspicion that those who work for Nanny will soon see other areas of their private lives restricted, as she takes a more proactive approach to enforcing her narrow views about how we should be living our lives.
This country is getting more like Soviet Russia every day. The way women are urged to work reminds me of the state of things in Stalin's Soviet wwhen women had to work and leave their children in State Nurseries to be indoctrinated.
ReplyDeleteChocolate is only one more thing which Nanny wants to control. In September we shall not be able to but many food supplements and vitamins and today there has been a lot of talk on the radio about something in chips and bread which if heated turns into a cancer forming thing. So we are told not to toast bread too much and not eat so many chips.
They haven't started on sex but they will. We will probably be issued with ration cards which have to be signed by a Sex Inspector. That should solve the unemployment problem
In Soviet Russia you could at least drink copious quantities of vodka, Nanny does not approve of such behaviour here.
ReplyDeleteKen,
ReplyDeleteNanny may not like some lifestyle habits but she is quite keen to promote others e.g. gambling. I reckon that soon we'll see slot machines sitting in hospitals. What better way to spend your time while waiting to be treated (and it will keep people's minds off of chocolate)!
