But in many cases, and I think this is one, Nanny and friends manage to compound their effect.<BR/><BR/>Take this case, if the school had a simple disclaimer that parents were required to sign, job done. The disclaimer could read something like "I agree not to act like a prat, and if an accident befalls me on school premises..."<BR/><BR/>finally there is an entire chain of responsibility leading to these ever sillier restrictions, from avaricious lawyers, via the moron claiment, through the electorate, to politicians whose only skill is smiling and not saying the wrong thing. <BR/><BR/>Right now I'm to watch Ken whack Nanny and let somebody else have a go at the other morons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-1127293756169897052005-09-21T10:09:00.000+01:002005-09-21T10:09:00.000+01:00Does this mean you are finally realising that the ...Does this mean you are finally realising that the nanny state is not so much due to the current crop of politicians but due to a natural, economic reaction to people like Mr Casson.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately schools/companies/councils can't afford to keep shelling out a few grand to these idiots so have to enforce nanny-like rules to make up for their lack of personal responsibility.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps you should highlight people like Mr Casson a bit more and remind everyone that these people are responsible for Nanny's ever increasing controls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
