The Owl and The Pussycat

Owl and Pussycat
"The owl and the pussycat went to sea,
In a beautiful pea green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money etc
"


In days of yore, owls, pussycats and any other life form could go to sea without too much interference from Nanny (aside from some sensible rules wrt ships/boats etc).

However, Nanny has now decided that the rules that apply to ships/boats must also apply to all other craft that touch the water's edge.

Surfers, canoeists and families using dinghies could face jail if they are involved in an accident under plans to subject them to the same Department for Transport (DfT) safety rules as oil tankers and cruise liners.

Now before, quite correctly, people state that there are some right idiots out there who put themselves and others in extreme danger by their reckless disregard of safety etc; I would point out that I agree.

My father was in the Merchant Navy, my uncle was in the Royal Navy and my grandfather was in both the Royal and Merchant Navy; I fully get the point about idiots putting people's lives at risk at sea.

However, by applying rules that are meant for tankers and ships etc to all sea vessels/and craft (including surfboards) Nanny is making herself look very foolish indeed.

The real focus of the safety concern is jet skis, which are a complete menace when handled by morons and drunks. These should be subjected to the legislation.

Nanny Bans Lengths

Nanny Bans LengthsAs Nanny proudly beats her breasts (can I say "breasts"?) about her forthcoming Olympic propaganda show in 2012, it comes as more than a surprise to me to read that one of her local councils has deemed that that the swimming of lengths in the local council pool (kind of useful for those training for sporting success, or just wanting to keep fit) has been banned.

For why has it been banned?

Can't you guess children?

Yes, that's right, health and safety!

Swimmers at Dagenham Swimming Pool in Essex (run by Barking and Dagenham Council, for once not Tory but ZaNuLabour) have been banned from lengths, primarily to make the job of the life guards easier (in the event they have to pluck someone from that water).

The pool is 33.3M by 25M (hardly ginormous!), and has been open for donkey's years.

Seemingly the council are balking at the idea of having to keep an extra lifeguard on duty for lengthwise swimming.

The council claim that it's not just about health and safety, but also because "most people" don't want to swim 33.3M.

Bollocks!

Big Brother - Councils Continue To Break The Law

Big Brother
It should come as no surprise whatsoever to learn that Nanny's local councils, having been enjoying the taste of power that spying on their local citizens gives them are reluctant to give it up.

Local councils in England are still spying on suspected minor offenders, despite being banned from doing so by law.

The law has forbidden them to spy on minor offenders since 2003, undercover spying methods are only permitted where a criminal law breach is suspected. However, Sir Christopher Rose (chief surveillance commissioner) said that it was of "significant concern" that some local authorities were going beyond what was allowed.

Sir Christopher, in a recently published report, is particularly concerned about "directed surveillance" (bugging of a public place or taking photographs of suspects) and the use of covert human intelligence, such as informants and undercover officers.

He notes that there is "a continuing failure on the part of authorising officers properly to demonstrate that less intrusive methods have been considered and why they have been discounted in favour of the tactic selected".

Factoid: Authorising officers are senior officials in local authorities, government departments and other public bodies who sign off surveillance requests under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA).

He went on to say:

"A specific act of surveillance may not be intrusive but a combination of acts may enable the construction of a profile; this requires careful consideration when judging whether an individual's private life is subject to interference.

It is not where the CCTV is placed (which may be overt or covert) but the manner in which the camera is used that is determinative of whether the surveillance is covert.

CCTV operators employed by local authorities are required to pass rigorous examination for the use of this controversial equipment, yet it appears that some police officers operate CCTV without obvious qualification
."

As is evident, local councils cannot be trusted to stay within the terms/spirit of the law, the powers to bug and spy on people should be removed from them.

As noted elsewhere on this site, the more powers that are given to councils/bouncers/park wardens etc the more they are tempted to use them for their own frivolous reasons/amusement.

Nanny knows this full well, but continues to grant these powers in order to keep the population subdued and fearful.

Nanny Unbans Dairy


Those of you of a certain age (mid 40's and beyond) will doubtless recall the health advice of the era when we were kiddy winkies, about the benefits of drinking milk and eating dairy products.

Indeed, the state even gave children free milk each day in school. Government cuts in the early 70's put paid to the free milk, but the advice about the benefits of consuming dairy products continued.

NB: Historical note, contrary to the popular myth of the time, Maggie Thatcher was not the person responsible for cutting free school milk (she had to implement the policy); it was Ted Heath who ordered it to be cut.

Anyhoo, up to the age of around 14 or so I was consuming around 3 pints of milk a day at home and look at me now!

As time moved on Nanny, in her infinite wisdom, took advice from so called "medical experts" who decreed that milk and dairy products were in fact bad for people.

The "Butchers' profession" has a higher than average percentage of people who are substance abusers (ie booze, fags and drugs). Quite why Nanny is so enthralled with their advice, everytime they change their mind about something, I don't know (remember they used to be very keen on bleeding people).

Anyhoo, plus ca change, the Butchers' profession has now decreed that dairy products are in fact good for children. Children who eat plenty of dairy foods such as milk and cheese can expect to live longer, according to a study by the University of Bristol and Australia's Queensland Institute of Medical Research.

Despite dairy containing artery furring fat and cholesterol, high consumption does not raise the heart disease risk!

I could have told Nanny that!

Needless to say not everyone wants to accept this, Joanne Murphy of The Stroke Association said:

"This is an interesting study, but we need to take a further look to really assess the benefits of milk in reducing the chances of dying from stroke.

In the meantime, we advise parents to opt for a diet rich in fruit and vegetables and low in saturated fat and salt for the overall health of their children
."

Piffle!

As I have often said on this site, fat is good for you. A car engine without oil seizes up. The same applies to the human body, fat in the veins helps the blood flow more easily;)

Nanny's Special Police Force - Bouncers

BouncersHot on the heels of Nanny's great wheeze to create "Plastic Policemen" (PCSO) and empowering park wardens and others to be able to fine people ("Jacqui's Specials"), Nanny has come up with another "terrific" idea.

She has decided to grant night club doormen ("bouncers" to you and I) the power to be able to fine people who are unruly.

Not only that, but Nanny's Bouncers will be abe to access the police criminal records database. In other words, a person whose only "qualification" to levy fines etc is a special T shirt and high vis yellow vest both with logos that say he/she can levy fines (provided by Nanny) will be able to nose around the criminal records database at will.

Good isn't it?

By the way, in order for bouncers (or rather the companies running the bouncers) to be able to "qualify" to levy fines and wear the T shirts etc, they first have to pay a fee to Nanny.

Kerching!

Any fines levied will go into the coffers of the local councils or police.

Swine Flu Hotline II

Swine Flu
Following on from yesterday's article about Nanny's Swine Flu hotline, I have a few more observations:

1 Nanny's Swine Flu website crashed within the first few hours of operation.

2 A reporter from The Times rang the Swine Flu hotline and found that, although polite, the non medical operative she spoke to was barely literate and had trouble pronouncing basic "medical" words such as "Tamiflu".

3 Nanny's losing candidate in the Norwich election was absent for most of the week, owing to an infection of Swine Flu.

4 Our troops continue to be killed and maimed in a useless and unwinnable war in Afghanistan, this ongoing disgrace is conveniently pushed below the headlines by Swine Flu.

Gives you every confidence that Nanny is managing this well doesn't it?

Swine Flu Hotline

Swine Flu Hotline
I am amused to see Nanny boasting about her new swine flu hotline, where people can ring up call centres manned by non medical personnel (some of them work for supermarket call centres I believe) and self diagnose themselves for a dose of Tamiflu.

Here's why this is a daft idea:

1 Swine flu (a variation of which was around in 1976) does not kill the majority of people infected with it.

2 Flu kills people each year, I see no reason to panic the population into thinking that swine flu is any more dangerous than other varieties of flu.

3 Many people claim they have flu, but in effect are just suffering from a very bad cold.

4 The hotline will be abused by people to stock up on Tamiflu "just in case", or to sell on to others.

5 Tamiflu causes some pretty unpleasant side effects (eg nausea) in around 10% of people who take it. The chances are that swine flu will be less unpleasant.

6 Nanny, by focusing people's minds on swine flu and pretending to take "decisive action", ensures that our attention is taken away from the dismal state of the economy and the God awful Prime Minister that we are saddled with.

Bin Brother - The Rubbish Spies

Bin Brother
Dear of dear, Nanny really ought to get out more as clearly she is becoming increasingly eccentric.

It transpires that, in a fit of boredom and extreme nosiness, Nanny's chums in approximately 100 town halls have been conducting secret searches of their residents' rubbish bins.

The aim was not just to check up on what people were throwing away (wrt environmental issues), but also to conduct a clandestine classification exercise into monitoring the "wealth/social status" of the local population.

Doubtless this "wealth classification" is viewed as a means to determine how much extra taxes the state can screw out of us.

In one area householders were divided into categories on the basis of their rubbish, ranging from Level One Wealthy Achiever to Level Five Hard Pressed.

In Kent, a predominantly Tory area, 11 councils allowed took bins from more than 2,000 homes and allowed "officials" working for the Kent Waste Partnership to inspect them.

The waste was dumped into a big pile and sorted into 66 different categories, which included ten types of paper and card, 11 types of plastic, five sorts of glass, six kinds of textiles and a miscellaneous category that included disposable nappies, carpet and sanitary waste.

As said, this is merely an excuse by Nanny to look for ways to tax us more. I suggest that we start to leave "little surprises" in the bins, that skew the statistics (eg the opposite type of waste that you would normally throw out) or leave the bin spies with grubby/smelly hands (eg unbagged dog shit).

Big Brother - We Like To Watch

Big Brother
You know how Nanny and her acolytes get very upset when adults (usually) parents try to take harmless photos of their own children (eg at sports days, school plays etc etc)?

Well don't you think that it is rather "ironic" that, having banned parents from photographing their own children, Nanny is happily monitoring kids via CCTV in schools?

Nanny's chums at Stockwell Park High have excelled themselves in their enthusiasm for watching children via CCTV. The school has installed nearly 100 security cameras (costing £60K) to monitor classrooms, corridors and play areas.

In fact, the comprehensive wants to install CCTV in every classroom.

Stockwell Park High currently has two cameras in 28 classrooms (56 in total), and another 40 cameras in corridors, stairwells and outdoor areas.

This of course serves Nanny's ultimate purpose, she wants to condition the kids to accept being watched. That way, when they become adults, they won't object to Nanny continuing to watch them.

Given this predilection of Nanny to video other people's children, why does she forbid parents to do the same to their own kids?

Can You Ride Tandem?


Tour De France - The funniest home videos are here
I see that the arch enemy of Nanny, McDonald's the purveyor of all things "evil" (foodwise that is), has gone over to the dark side and joined Nanny.

Tom Halsall and Mark Dixon were riding their tandem some 5 miles from Chorley, and decided to pop into the drive through McDonald's in Leyland.

Can you guess what happened next children?

Yes, that's right, McDonald's refused to serve them.

For why?

Seemingly the tandem was deemed to be a health and safety hazard, and McD's didn't want to be liable if the tandem was hit by a car.

Surely the issue would lie between the car that hit the tandem (and its insurance policy) and the tandem riders, not Mc'D's?

Given how risk aware McD's now pretends to be, why is it Ronald McDonlad is allowed to wear such oversized shoes?

Surely this constitutes a trip hazard?

A silly reaction by McD's, symbolising how brain dead many of us are becoming.

A Nation of Paedophiles - Nanny's Nice Little Earner

Socialism
It is reassuring to know that even when Nanny pretends to be "saving the children", she still manages to find a way to make something on the side for herself and her apparatchiks.

Nanny's new registration scheme requires all adults who come into contact with kids as part of their work, eg authors and illustrators who visit schools to register on a database designed to "protect" children from paedophiles.

The fact that the authors are not left alone with the kids, but lecture them in a crowded hall is irrelevant to Nanny.

Nanny's Vetting and Barring Scheme (VBS) is being managed by the Independent Safeguarding Authority. It requires all individuals who work with children, from 12 October, to register with a national database for a fee of £64.

KERCHING!!!!

Nanny's Home Orifice is unrepentant:

"The UK already has one of the most advanced systems in the world for carrying out checks on all those who work in positions of trust with children and vulnerable adults. From October this year the new Vetting and Barring Scheme (VBS) will ensure these regulations are even more rigorous.

The new scheme means every individual working in a field that requires more than a tiny amount of contact with children and/or vulnerable adults will have to be vetted.

If they are passed, they will be placed on a register that says they are allowed to work in a regulated field.

If they are barred, they will go on a separate register and it will be a criminal offence for them to try and obtain work in a regulated field, carrying a penalty of up to five years in prison.

It will also be illegal for anyone to employ them
."

So will parents be vetted as well?

What about MPs who visit schools and kiss babies?

This is simply another nasty piece of legislation designed to place further barriers between adults and children.

Be under no illusions here, Nanny is the child abuser not the British public. Also be aware that this is nothing more than an excuse to tax us further.

It will be a nice little earner for Nanny, as it is expected that this database will contain over 11 million names within 5 years.

Let us learn this mantra for prep:

Hypocritical Old So and So!

Salute NannyWhy does Nanny have such a bee in her bonnet over members of the British public sorting and disposing of their waste in a "Nanny type environmentally friendly" manner, when she herself doesn't give a flying fark about who she dumps her shit on?

The Times reports that:

"Britain was accused yesterday of dumping toxic household and industrial waste in developing countries on two continents in breach of an international convention."

Could it be that the environmental excuse is merely a method for her loathed and despised local councils to impose more taxes upon us, in order to pay for their bloated budgets and defined benefit (final salary) pension schemes?

Well yes folks, that's the real reason!

Nanny's despised local councils are desperately short of cash, and need to find ways to raise more. We are being milked dry, like prostrate cattle, by these gangsters.

Isn't it time we told Nanny that enough is enough?

A Nation of Paedophiles

Nanny is Mother, Nanny is Father
It is official, Nanny has decreed that all British adults are paedophiles unless they can prove otherwise.

That is the conclusion that we must draw from the absurd rules being imposed by Reigate and Banstead Council, which insists that all football players in the local park (Woodmansterne Recreation Grounds in Banstead) have a criminal records check.

Now why is this such an idiotic rule?

Just ask Darren Chapman, who was trying to play football with his children and their 7 year old friends.

Can you guess what happened children?

Yes, that's right, because Mr Chapman refused to have a CRB check he was arrested when trying to play football with his own family. He spent 5 hours in jail for his "crime" of not obeying the council.

The council demands that all players must undergo a criminal records check, pay for insurance (aha...kerching!!!!) and apply for formal permission for the game.

Mr Chapman, who was eventually released without charge, said:

"All we want to do is have a kickabout with the lads twice a week so they can keep sharp for when their league's training starts again, and we can't."

The troubles began when Mr Chapman began staging regular games for his children and their seven-year-old friends at Woodmansterne Recreation Grounds in Banstead, Surrey.

The local council, Reigate and Banstead Council, told him in February to stop the activity immediately and demanded proof of a Criminal Records Bureau check, insurance and that he make a formal request to use the park area for organised training activities.

Mr Chapman ignored the knobheads in the council, and continued the games regardless. On July 1 Mr Chapman organised a protest picnic, the police arrived at the grounds and arrested him.

Seemingly the police had it in their minds that Mr Chapman was threatening to cause "criminal damage".

A jobsworth from the local council said:

"Unfortunately, although Mr Chapman has been advised on how he can work with the council to obtain the authorised use of the designated areas, to date he has failed to comply with the council's usual procedure."

There you are folks, if you don't obey your local council's rules and regulations you will be arrested!

The enemy of the people is the state and its local lickspittles the councils.

A Surrey Police spokesman gave a meaningless response, saying that their "actions were proportionate throughout the arrest procedure" and subsequent enquiry.

Brain dead bureaucrats who choose not to think about what they are doing always trot out the line that "procedures were followed". They ignore the bleeding obvious point that the procedures may well be bollocks, and that people should use their brains and take the initiative when dealing with the "real world".

Sadly the wrong people are employed by Nanny in the wrong jobs, and the people of Britain are suffering as a result of this.

There will be a reckoning though, as those who live and work in the real world react against the increased taxes and demands being made upon them by Nanny to support her ever burgeoning public sector.

Nanny's child centric policies assume that all adults are paedophiles, unless they pay to prove otherwise. This creates a very nasty and unhealthy divide between children and adults, which is contributing to the feral nature of some of Britain's streets; as adults and children split off into their own little self contained worlds.

Nanny is the child abuser here, not the British public.

BTW, it's a Tory council of course.

Forces Fags

FagA wee story for you from the USA.

The Pentagon reassured troops on Wednesday that it won't ban tobacco products in war zones.

Meanwhile UK Nanny, and the members of the butchers' profession (doctors), continue to try to push for a ban on our troops smoking.

For why?

Nanny is under the impression that smoking presents a clear and present danger to health of our troops.

Errmmmm...maybe she could pop over to Afghanistan and explain her risk assessment re smoking in person?

Post Script

As "Disgusted Tunbridge Wells" has just commented, Nanny will soon be requiring all armed forces personnel to wear high vis vests!

Nanny Bans Bunting - Again!

Bunting Banned
My word, isn't funny how when one of Nanny's lickspittle councils bans something the others race to follow suit?

Such is the case with that seemingly harmless street decoration, bunting (click the tag "bunting" to read about another place that banned it).

Nanny's chums in Dorset County Council have determined that bunting attached to lampposts (you know, those rather solid looking objects driven into concrete pavements) constitutes a serious threat to health and safety, because the bunting might cause the lampposts to topple over.

Yes, you did read that right, Nanny thinks that the lampposts might topple over!

Call me naive, but if something as lightweight as bunting could cause a lamppost to topple doesn't that mean that there is a serious flaw with the lamppost and/or its fixing to the pavement?

Regrettably commonsense such as that did not save the bunting in time for the annual Ferndown Carnival week in Dorset the other week. Bunting was banned for the first time in over 20 years.

Rod Mainstone, Dorset County Council's street lighting manager, attempted to justify this bizarre piece of Nanny fretting via a guidance note sent to town and parish councils:

"Street lighting columns are not generally designed to be strong enough to support any additional attachments.

Even relatively light additions such as a small sign can lead to considerable extra load being imposed on a column in strong wind.

Furthermore, internal corrosion, which cannot be seen, may have weakened the column and the additional load could lead to it collapsing
."

Three points:

1 Bunting and other crudola has been attached to lampposts for yonks, no lamppost has ever fallen over because of it.

2 If Mr Mainstone really believes that the lampposts have corroded, shouldn't his department be checking the lampposts and if necessary be replacing them?

3 The Italians managed to hang Mussolini and his mistress from lampposts at the end of the last war, without them toppling over.

It sounds like complete bullshit to me!

Prats of The Week - Green Groups

Prats of The WeekAh I feel it is time in my water to award another of my prestigious, and internationally renowned, "Prats of The Week" Awards.

This week it goes to three groups of environmentalists; the World Development Movement, Platform and People & Planet.

For why?

Well my old muckers, a wee while ago these "guardians" of our planet launched a lawsuit against the Treasury, to force it to ensure that taxpayers' money invested in the Royal Bank of Scotland supports only projects that satisfy minimum green and human rights standards.

Seemingly the planet is in dire danger because the Treasury has breached its own policy to tackle climate change and reduce carbon emissions, by using public funds to bail out RBS.

Aside from the fact that the bailout supported Fred "The Shred's" pension (which may or may not constitute a threat to planet earth), the Greens have got their knickers in a twist over the fact that RBS once marketed itself as "the oil and gas bank" and has long been one of the top lenders to the energy industry.

In the Green eyed view of the world, oil and gas are evil (they conveniently ignore the fact that our entire society is based on oil/gas and their byproducts, such as plastic) and should be replaced with nice clean alternatives such as wind.

I am all for wind, except there are some very powerful middle class lobby groups (I suspect who also claim to be supporters of environmentally caring policies - so long as it is not in their backyard) who are doing a nice hatchet job of blocking wind farms.

Nimbyism is a very middle class trait!

Anyhoo, I digress, the fact remains that this action has as much chance in succeeding as there is of hell freezing over (a little environmental joke there).

All that will happen is that the Treasury will defend themselves (using our money to do so) and the case will drag on an on, producing vast reams of paper (cut from sustainable forests???) and keep a bunch of overpaid Porsche driving lawyers in coke and Bollinger for the next few years.

A spectacular waste of time, effort and resources.

Wrt a viable alternative to oil and gas, may I suggest nuclear?

The World Development Movement, Platform and People & Planet, well deserving "Prats of The Week"!

Nanny Bans Sex

What the Fark!
I knew that eventually the day would dawn when Nanny would ban sex.

Lo and behold, that day has dawned!

How on earth can Nanny enforce an ASBO that bans you from making "excessive noise" (whatever that means) anywhere in England?

"A woman has been remanded in custody accused of breaching an Asbo banning her from being noisy during sex.

Neighbours complained of hearing Caroline Cartwright, 48, groaning and her bed banging against the wall at her home in Washington, Wearside.

Earlier this month she was given a four-year Asbo banning her from making excessive noise anywhere in England.

But she appeared in court on Monday, charged with three breaches of her Asbo in just 10 days.

She was remanded in custody until 5 May.

Cartwright was convicted of five breaches of a noise abatement notice on 17 April and fined £515.

But Houghton le Spring Magistrates' Court heard police arrested her on 18 April, on 22 April and again on 26 April, after reports from neighbours she was flouting the ban with her husband Steve.

Prosecutor Claire Ward said neighbours complained to police about early morning noises including shouting and groaning coming from the Cartwrights' home in Hall Road, Concord, Washington.

Cartwright elected to be tried by jury and the case will be transferred to Newcastle Crown Court at a later date

Heatwave Returns



This article gave rise to an exceedingly loud snort from myself, when I read it this morning in The Times:

"Sunshine is not the main cause of the most dangerous form of skin cancer, according to researchers, who say some warnings about the perils of sunbathing are scaring people unnecessarily."

Nanny, exaggerating risk?

Surely not?

FYI, the sun has returned to Brighton and I intend to make the most of it today.

Prats of The Week - Horsham District Council

Prats of The WeekOo'er missus...tis time for another "Prats of The Week" Award.

This week it goes to Horsham District Council, and Sussex police.

For why?

Well it seems that John O'Sullivan, a sweet shop owner, has upset said local council and police by putting up joke newspaper billboards.

Mr O'Sullivan, who owns the Candy Box in Horsham, was visited by police after the council complained about that the billboards were offensive.

Here are some examples of the "offensive" headlines:

- "Crawley Girl Gives Birth To Pitbull"
- "Local Youths Abduct UFO"

Nothing wrong there eh?

Indeed not!

However, when Mr O'Sullivan displayed a headline criticising the expenses scandal ("MPs: What a load of....") local council officers visited his shop and threatened to take him to court unless he removed the posters.

A police officer then visited to say he could be arrested, and be saddled with a criminal record.

Mr O'Sullivan was also given a written notice threatening prosecution under Section 5 of the Public Order Act, which legislates against anyone causing alarm, distress of offence to the public.

Horsham District Council said:

"We can confirm that the council has received recent complaints about what has been written on the A-board outside the shop.

As a message posted there was considered to be potentially offensive, a street scene officer from the council asked for its removal
."

What, by the way, is a "street scene officer"?

Is this a real policeman, or one of the plastic ones?

Anyhoo, here's why this is bollocks (oops maybe they will come for me now!), it was only one poster which has been superseded by others. The "offence", if indeed anyone really was offended, has long since past into the dustbin of history.

To threaten Mr O'Sullivan with arrest is OTT, and an absurd waste of police resources.

Horsham District Council and Sussex police, well deserving "Prats of the Week".

BTW, Horsham is of course a Tory council.

Here's David Cameron's email to tell him what you think: camerond@parliament.uk

The "Laughing" Policemen

The Oh dear oh dear, it seems that some of Nanny's police officers have suffered a sense of humour failure; as Miranda Skillings, of Brancaster, found to her cost recently.

Brancaster recently held a fete, the tradition of the village being that people put up "humorous" scarecrows around the village in "amusing" places and poses.

Mrs Skillings made 7ft scarecrow that resembled a policeman with a speed gun, she put him up next to roadside post.

Can you guess what happened next children?

Yes, that's right, a policeman arrested the scarecrow for impersonating a police officer and took him to the police station.

Oddly enough the village had received permission from the police to create such an effigy.

Therefore you will be relieved to hear that Mrs Skillings was allowed to take her scarecrow home. However, she has been told to remove the radar gun.

Inspector Dave Buckley of Norfolk Police said:

"Speed radars are used to prevent casualties on our roads. They should not be recreated by the roadside in jest."

I guess there is not much crime in the Norfolk area then?

Nanny's Child Snatchers

Nanny's Child SnatchersI see that Nanny has resorted to using the full apparatus of the state to enforce her child centric policies, if this report (see below) in the Telegraph of the other day is accurate. I have reproduced it in full as, quite frankly, I initially assumed that they were writing about a third world dictatorship rather than the UK.

- Since when did the state start "sectioning" people for being "overprotective" of their children?

- Why are social workers allowed to behave in the same manner as the Gestapo?

- Why was Mr Jones' wife arrested, and the children snatched by the state?

- Why was the chief magistrate allowed to act as magistrate, given that he was chairman of the trustees of the mental hospital in which Mr Jones was being detained?

- Why is ZaNuLabour still in office?

It is the most sickening story of state abuse of power that I have read for quite sometime, and wonder how long it will be before Nanny uses the powers of the state to start "sectioning" other people for alleged "delusions" (eg that the state is corrupt)?

The Telegraph:

"One of the most disturbing features of life in modern Britain has been the extraordinary powers given to social workers to seize children from their parents, too often – when those powers are abused – supported by the police and family courts. What makes this still more alarming is the legal bar on reporting these episodes, supposedly to protect the children, which again too often works to protect the social workers themselves at the expense of the children.

Details of yet another shocking case, which comes to its climax in a county court in eastern England this week, have recently been placed in the House of Lords Library. This follows a comprehensive investigation carried out on behalf of the family by Lord Monckton of Brenchley, who, as a hereditary peer, does not sit in the Lords, but has passed his dossier both to an active life peer and to this column.

Until six weeks ago, Mr and Mrs Jones, as I must call them under reporting restrictions, lived happily with their three young children, two sons and a daughter, aged under 13. Mr Jones, a business consultant, is related to various European royal families and his brother is a senior Army officer seconded to the UN. If he has one weakness, as he admits, it is to refer to these connections, as he did to the heads of the schools attended by his two older children, saying that he was particularly concerned for their security. He asked that he could be allowed to drive into the school grounds when picking up his daughter, because he did not want to leave her waiting, potentially vulnerable, in the road outside.

The headmistress agreed to this, but, concerned about other children's safety, contacted the local police, who in turn passed on their concerns to social services. The result of this was that, on May 18, when Mr and Mr Jones, accompanied by their younger son, arrived at school to pick up their daughter, they were met by a group of strangers, one as it turned out a female social worker. She asked, without explaining why or who she was, whether he was Mr Jones. When she three times refused to show him any ID, he was seized from behind by two policemen, handcuffed and put under arrest.

He was driven by a policeman to a nearby mental hospital where he was told that, because of "a number of concerns", he was being detained under Section 136 of the Mental Health Act and "sectioned" under S.2 as of "unsound mind". His wife, it turned out, had been similarly arrested, for loudly protesting at the handcuffing of her husband and the forcible seizing from her arms of her young son. The three children had been taken into care by social services.

Mrs Jones was allowed to return to an empty home that evening. Mr Jones was permitted to attend court two days later, to hear the magistrates grant an interim order for the children to remain in the care of social services. Because he was "sectioned", he was not allowed to speak. The chief magistrate, it later emerged, was chairman of the trustees of the mental hospital in which he was being detained.

On May 28, Mr Jones appeared before a mental health tribunal which, after hearing all the facts relating to his case, gave him a complete discharge. He returned home to his wife and immediately contacted his MP, a local MEP, lawyers and others he thought might be able to help, one of whom set in train the investigation by Lord Monckton that led to this story appearing here.

Despite the finding of the tribunal, the social workers have remained determined to hold on to the children, with a view to their care being determined in a county court on Wednesday. The voluminous dossier setting out this extraordinary sequence of events not only includes lengthy statements from Mr and Mrs Jones but copies of detailed statements by the social worker and policewoman most closely involved in the case (along with a good deal more circumstantial evidence).

The only reason offered in these documents for the abduction of the children is Mr Jones's "delusional belief system" that special care should be taken of his children because of their elevated family connections. The only harm done to the children is their very evident unhappiness at being separated from their parents.

It must be hoped that the court this week recognises how grotesquely this tragic case has been blown out of all proportion, and rules that a loving family should immediately be reunited

Nanny Bans Parents

Nanny Bans Parents
Nanny's child centric policy has taken another nasty step forward towards banning parents and adults outright.

In fact, that is exactly what has happened!

Over 270 pupils from four local primaries took part in the East Beds School Sports Partnership Athletics Day at Sandy Upper School in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire last week.

In keeping with such an occasion, Nanny's trolls who ran the event performed a risk assessment.

Can you guess what the risk assessment's findings were children?

Yes, that's right, the risk assessment highlighted the potential risk of paedophiles and kidnappers attending the event.

So what did Nanny decide to do?

You've guessed it, Nanny banned parents from attending the event.

Paul Blunt of the East Bedfordshire School Sports Partnership, which ran the event, said:

"If we let parents into the school they would have been free to roam the grounds.

All unsupervised adults must be kept away from children.

An unsavoury character could have come in and we just can't put the children in the event or the students at the host school at risk like that.

The ultimate fear is that a child is hurt or abducted, and we must take all measures possible to prevent that
."

Yes, you did read this bit correctly:

"All unsupervised adults must be kept away from children."

Unsurprisingly a local councillor, Anita Lewis, supported this nasty and odious policy.

"The safety of the children is paramount.

It was decided that following a risk assessment we could not adequately supervise up to 100 plus adults on the school site
."

In case you are wondering, Councillor Lewis is a Tory!

I find this ban to be particularly distasteful and odious:

1 Parents should be encouraged to attend such events to show support for their children. Children need the support and encouragement of their parents.

2 How many children have been kidnapped/molested at school sports days?

3 What kind of a message does this send to kids, if we are telling them that their own parents, and friends of their parents, cannot be trusted with them? Instilling such a sense of fear into the children will cause significant psychological damage to the children, and is tantamount to child abuse.

4 Why do we even allow children outside the front door, if the world is such a dangerous place?

Here is councillor Lewis's email address, if you want to discuss this with her:

- anita.lewis@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk

Here is Cameron's as well, for all the good that it will do:

Mind Your Own Business

Mind Your Own Business
In the halcyon days of yore, pre Nanny (if those days ever really existed), there was a more open and mutually respectful relationship between the police and the public whom they are meant to protect.

Sadly, as Nanny has step by step politicised the police, that relationship has soured somewhat.

An example of this souring is this wee incident that happened recently on the A23 near to Brighton (my residence).

Five police cars and the force helicopter swooped on a red car as it raced down the A23, at speeds thought to exceed the national speed limit.

Motorists saw two patrol cars chasing the red Rover, three more setting up a road block and the police helicopter flying low overhead.

Needless to say, they contacted the local rag.

It turns out that this was a training exercise for Sussex Police.

Fair enough!

However, when the local rag rang up the police to get some background (eg were ordinary drivers put at risk by this etc) here is verbatim (according to the rag) response:

"It is none of The Argus' business and it is none of the business of any member of the public who saw it.

It happens every day of the year and members of the public are always ringing up, if they choose to ring The Argus then that's up to them
."

That's the spirit lads!

Funny that, I thought that we paid these people's salaries?

It is also rather amusing that the local force thinks that we should mind our own business, given that their CCTV vans (which patrol Brighton's streets) have the following logo emblazoned across the side:

"Smile, you're on CCTV"

Clearly I have misunderstood the relationship between Nanny's police and society.
