Nanny Bans Humiliation
I see that Nanny is sticking her unwanted nose into sporting matters again.
This time the focus of her gimlet eye is Telford Junior Football League.
Nanny is worried that publication of the football results will embarrass the players.
Can you guess what she has done to stop the embarrassment?
Yes, that's right, Nanny now only records games in the Telford Junior League as either 1-0 wins or 1-1 draws.
Those in charge of the league claim that the new policy is in line with Football Association guidelines.
Oddly enough the FA says that this is bollocks, and that there is no such rule.
To add to the stupidity, the league will (next season) stop recording results for under-11 teams altogether.
Children need to learn about winning and losing from an early age. By engaging in this form of pc nonsense, the Junior League are in effect retarding the children from being able to learn to handle failure and the occasional snipe from rivals.
Is this denial of the right to learn from failure not in itself a form of child abuse?

Nanny's Park Rangers III - The Sweet Smell of Bullshit
Dixon of Dock Green posted the following comment yesterday, re Nanny's Park Rangers:
"I got the same reply from DC but received the following reply from Telford Council:
'Thank you for registering your concerns about the Town Park and the recent publicity about our child protection policy.
I would like to reassure you that there is absolutely no suggestion whatsoever that people who visit our park, with or without children, are routinely approached by our staff for no apparent reason.
Unfortunately a letter sent last month to a resident incorrectly stated the situation and has mistakenly led people to conclude that the Council stops adults in Telford Town Park. This is most certainly not the case.
The Town Park is an extremely popular destination for residents and visitors and we attract over 1 million visitors each year. We work hard to create a safe and enjoyable experience and as always everyone is most welcome.
We deeply regret any confusion that may have been caused, in particular to the many people who use and enjoy Telford Town Park.
Ron Odunaiya
Corporate Director
Community Services' "
Hands up all those of you who believe that the letter "incorrectly stated the situation and has mistakenly led people to conclude that the Council stops adults in Telford Town Park".?
How can they have written a letter that contained such misleading information?
The reality is that they have made themselves look such fools over this issue that they have had to backtrack. Instead of being honest, and admitting that they got it wrong, they are pretending it was all just a misunderstanding.
Ah the sweet smell of bullshit!

Nanny's Park Rangers II
Further to my article about Nanny's Park Rangers who are tasked with questioning unaccompanied adults who walk around Telford Town Park, lest they be child molesters, I dropped an email to David Cameron the very same day.
Here is an extract of the reply that I received yesterday (the speed of response was interesting, as they normally take a week or so to write back. I suspect I hit a nerve!):
"I am writing on behalf of David Cameron to thank you for your recent email.
We are grateful to you for taking the time to get in touch and for bringing your concerns to our attention. Your comments have been noted. As I am sure you can appreciate, even in his position as Leader of the Opposition, David has no influence in local matters taken outside of his constituency and by locally elected councillors. I have however, passed you email on to the Party Chairman, so that she is aware of your views."
All very well, but if Cameron has no influence over "local matters" what is the point of electing a Tory government?
It is at local level that Nanny's malign influence is most keenly felt, because she has empowered (both by statute, and by "blind eye") local councils with powers and responsibilities that they have never had before nor should they have.
Local councils are being used by Nanny to exert control.
The Tory party needs to come up with a coherent plan to curtail the power of both central and local government, otherwise it will be pointless voting for them.

Nanny's Park Rangers
Nanny's child centric policy has taken another step forward.
She has decreed that all unaccompanied adults walking in Telford Town Park are potential paedophiles. As such, park wardens have been ordered to stop and interrogate anyone who is not accompanied by children.
For fark's sake!
Evidently visitors who are quizzed have to explain their presence and risk being thrown out, or reported to police if their answers are not satisfactory.
"I want to go for a walk"
How the hell can they judge as to whether that answer is "satisfactory" or not???
Nanny's local council (Telford and Wrekin Council) claims that this is a "commonsense approach", aimed at safeguarding children.
It is nothing of the kind, and clearly oversteps the boundaries as to what a council is meant to do.
I guarantee that the local residents have issues wrt refuse collection, and basic amenities being poorly maintained; yet the council meanders off into areas of policy that are outwith its remit.
The local "parkies" have taken to their new Gestapo role with great relish. Evidently two environmental campaigners, dressed as penguins (don't ask!), were thrown out of the park last month when caught handing out leaflets on climate change.
Telford and Wrekin Council said Rachel Whittaker and Neil Donaldson were ejected because they had not undergone Criminal Records Bureau checks or risk assessments before entering the park.
Seemingly this is a requirement under the Child Protection Act.
Errmm...am I drunk?
Have I just read that correctly?
Are they saying that in order to enter a park we now need a risk assessment and criminal records check?
By the way, in case you think that this is another example of Nu labour madness...it is not.
Telford and Wrekin Council is run by the Tories!
David Ottley, recreation manager, said:
"Our town park staff approach adults that are not associated with any children in the park and request the reason for them being there.
In particular, this applies to those areas where children or more vulnerable groups gather."
By this "logic" all adults accompanied by a child are not paedophiles and are perfectly harmless.

Don't vote Tory unless they put forward detailed plans for ridding us of the Nanny state.
