According to an opinion poll today, the conservative lead over labour is now only 8 points. I would suggest it's crap like this from tory controlled local authorities, and the way Cameron (like Brown and Blair) welched on his promise to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, plus the manner some MPs have been ripping us off with questionable expenses claims, that has caused this.Lord of Atlantisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-20669625969953939972009-12-08T13:58:23.928+00:002009-12-08T13:58:23.928+00:00More lunacy:

Is there a difference between checked and vetted and what kind of training can you give to a lollipop man (in Nanny's world probably a degree).<br /><br />I'm surprised the LA hasn't ordered the children to stay at home in the absence of a lollip man because it's too dangerous for the children to cross the road with only their parents (who haven't had the state-approved training).<br /><br />This country is fast going down the plughole.<br /><br />JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-43334454260624830362009-12-07T22:00:33.630+00:002009-12-07T22:00:33.630+00:00"Why not report all dangerous features in the..."Why not report all dangerous features in the road in your area"<br /><br />Doesn't work round here, I've done that, and even had on-site meetings with them.

Why would you need "proper training" for brushing leaves, or anything else involving the bleedin' obvious? Years ago, I opened a box of eggs (free range of course!) in Tesco, and gave them a shiggle, just to make sure they were all intact. <br /><br />Some jumped-up jobsworth demanded to know if I'd had the "proper training" to check eggs like that, and otherwise I shouldn't do it!glennnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-80292570000210331032009-12-07T17:50:05.535+00:002009-12-07T17:50:05.535+00:00"Road safety is of paramount importance, but ..."Road safety is of paramount importance, but while we fully support all schools in their efforts to ensure the safety of pupils and to help us recruit relief patrols, we have a duty to follow all the procedures."<br /><br />Yet their actions show that following procedures is more important than road safety.

My father lives under their 'jurisdiction' and his description of them is virtually unprintable. This is the mob who were planning to do away with palm trees lest their sharp leaves be an 'elf 'n' safety risk. A while back they got hot under the collar about displaying crucifixes at the crematorium lest they offend other religions and wasn't it Torbay council that was working with the local constabulary to issue flip flops to drunken women ?<br /><br /> My father regularly swept the gutter outside his property to clear leaves blocking drains that could lead to flooding but a local jobsworth arrived one day and informed him he was not allowed to do this as "he had not had the proper training and under health and safety guidelines...blah blah"<br /><br /> Oh and their chief executive is apparently one of the highest town hall earners in the country.

I was only following orders was not a defence at Nuremburg and shall not be a defence come the time when Britain comes back to its senses and drops this PC Stalinist agenda.<br /><br />It never ceases to amaze me how many of these daft stories feature a council or other public body. It seems the public sector is filled with sad people that, could never hold down a real job in the private sector and, once they're in such a position, they become drunk on the power the position brings. What is really sad is that many of these child safeguarding industry supporters are the very people that are supposed to be educating our children although, to be fair, today education seems to have been replaced with indoctrination.<br /><br />We're all doomed.<br /><br />Enjoy being a jobsworth whilst you can....It won't be for much longer.Tonk.noreply@blogger.com
