Nanny Is Intent On Killing Us All

And when the Defence Secretary declines the most unpalatable option it'll be written up as a victory for him standing with Our Boys. This is politics, not a serious attempt at formulating future defence policy pic.twitter.com/yPz7DYeL4N

Going Commando - The Importance of Cleanliness

I must admit to watching last night's fly on the wall documentary on Channel 4 about the Royal Marines Commando School with my mouth open at certain points.

Aside from the fact, for no logical reason that I can determine, commandos are not allowed to wear any clothing at all in bed; there was also the fact that the young men had to be taught how to have a shower.

I appreciate that cleanliness in barracks and when on tour of duty is important, as it lessens the risk of infection and disease. I understand that this message needs to be drummed into the recruits.

However, what I was surprised at was the fact that the young men had to be taken to a shower block where they were given a live demonstration by one of their naked superiors as to how to shower in graphic detail right down to washing the foreskin and butt crack (pix-elated for the sensibilities of the viewing public).

Has it come to this, that the Nanny state has removed any vestige of parental input into a child's upbringing that young men now have to be shown how to shower themselves?

Prat of The Week - Ben Duncan

My oh my it has been an inordinate length of time since I awarded a "Prat of The Week" Award. Therefore, without further ado, I bequeath this week's award to Brighton and Hove's Green councillor Ben Duncan.

For why?

Duncan has been suspended from the Green group of councillors on Brighton and Hove City Council, by his own party, for tweeting on the 28 June (Armed Forces Day) that soldiers were "hired killers".

His suspension follows a panel of inquiry by the party.

It should be noted that, despite being suspended from the Green party, Duncan is still receiving a salary from the council (ie from the taxpayers).

Ben Duncan, well deserving Prat of The Week; not well deserving a salary though!

Morrisons Backs Down

 

Yesterday I wrote about Nanny's shameful treatment of Adam Austin over his decision to wear a poppy in honour of murdered soldier Lee Rigby.

It seems that Nanny's chums from Morrisons were stung into remorse by the public outcry over this, they have now reinstated Mr Austin and have allowed him to wear his poppy.

As per the BBC:

"Chief executive Dalton Philips said Morrisons had changed its policy following concern from customers.

"Colleagues not preparing fresh food will now be able to wear a pin badge or bracelet to show their support for registered charities like Help for Heroes," he said.

"So Adam can return to work and wear his poppy with pride.

"It's really important to me that we show our support for our armed forces. 

"They do really hard work on our behalf. They put their lives on the line every day."

Well then!

Nanny Bans Poppy and Commonsense

I was saddened to read yet another example of Nanny "scrupulously" applying rules and regulations, without any application of commonsense or sensitivity.

In this particular cases Nanny's chums from Morrisons in Portsmouth decided to enforce its policy of what can and can't be worn at work the letter. Adam Austin who works there had decided to wear a Help for Heroes wrist band and small metal poppy in remembrance for murdered soldier Lee Rigby.

Unfortunately Mr Austin, aside from working at the checkout, also works in the fresh food area. This means that, according to the rules, he and other members of staff who work in the fresh food area cannot wear things such as poppies lest they fall off an contaminate the food.

Seemingly, if the Mail is to be believed, instead of having a quiet discussion with Mr Austin in private to come to some form amicable solution over this mark of respect, the local management asked him to take off the band etc in front of customers. Following a disagreement it seems he was escorted from the premises, and now faces a disciplinary hearing on Friday.

Following a right old hoo hah on Facebook and Twitter over this incident, Morrisons said that the company had reviewed its guidelines and had decided to allow staff in non-food preparation areas to wear a registered charity wristband.

"We understand it is important for many people to show support for our Armed Forces."

I can perfectly well understand why there are rules wrt dress and what can/cannot be worn in fresh food areas. However, as with any rule, it's not just the rule itself that is important but how that rule is enforced and whether there are extenuating circumstances that should be considered when the rule is breached.

The sad fact of living in the Nanny state is that people and organisations automatically reach for the rule book without ever applying any commonsense or sympathy/compassion first.

Nanny Bans HMS Edinburgh

I was very disappointed to read about The Ensign Ewart, a pub that I often frequented as a student in Edinburgh (and sometimes do on my all too infrequent return visits to the City), banning the crew of HMS Edinburgh from drinking there because they were in full dress uniform.

Ironically the pub is located almost at the foot of Edinburgh Castle (on the Royal Mile) and is named after Charles Ewart who single-handedly captured the standard of the French Invincibles at the Battle of Waterloo.

The background to this ban lies in the fact that 250 officers and crew of HMS Edinburgh were celebrating being awarded the Freedom of the City by marching up the Royal Mile in front of cheering crowds. They were in the Capital to mark the decommissioning of the 30-year-old ship.

Those crew who went into the pub (not 250 of them!) to have a drink had been granted permission by the Navy to do so in their dress uniforms. However, the pub decided that they would not serve them.

Lord Provost, Donald Wilson, who had earlier reassured crew members that they would be warmly received at hostelries in Edinburgh is quoted by The Scotsman:

“It is 
disappointing that having just received the Freedom of the City, which is the reason they were in dress uniform, that they would be refused service simply because they were wearing uniform.”

A spokeswoman for the Ensign Ewart claimed staff had been following licensing regulations, which she said made it illegal to serve people in full dress uniform.

“We work within the confines of licensing laws.”

That actually is bollocks, as council officials told The Scotsman that there were no licensing laws banning people in military uniform from being served alcohol, and although in the past such a ban had applied to policemen, that law was no longer in force.

As ever with Nanny, it is a case of make up the rules to suit your mood!
