What on earth is happening to the country? ohmy.gif


QUOTE
Parents have been banned from supervising their children in public playgrounds, because they have not undergone criminal record checks.

Thankfully it is only one council, as ever the press love a story.

Oh sorry, I should have used the correct term "like the House of Commons". wink.gif

I love this bit:
"Play rangers currently patrol both parks – which are specifically for children aged five to 15 – and are fully qualified and have been cleared by the Criminal Records Bureau. "

Fully qualified, no doubt in the North Korean, Kmer Rouge and Orwellian sense!! dry.gif

Probably empowered to 're-educate' any boys found playing conkers and report all evidence of 'thought crime'.

What always amazes me with this sort of thing is that we (the general public) can all see it for the lunacy it is, but the powers that be can't. Why can't they? And how come we've given such idiots the power to rule over us? blink.gif

General election around the corner... time to kick these idiots out! tongue.gif Not that any of the alternatives are that appealing but a change is as good as a rest..

I agree that it's time to kick these idiots out tongue.gif, and am optimistically hoping that our next government (and it's very obvious who they're going to be) will do better. I'm aware they'll have a hard time cleaning up the mess, though.

But it still leaves us with loony councillors such as the twits behind this playground nonsense. sad.gif

I wonder how long it will be before you have to get a CRB check before you can become pregnant?

Actually I think it might be a good idea if all adults went on a pregnancy strike and refused for several years to give birth. Just imagine a four or five year gap in schools, playgrounds, youth organisations. etc. What would the do gooders who have started this "prove you aren't a paedophile" witch hunt do then?

I am beginning to think some of these people are actually sicker than the offenders themselves. They certainly are imposing their suspicious sick think on parents, grandparents, teachers, youth workers and even the children themselves.
