More political correctness
GMTV are running a story about how school teachers are no longer allowed to apply sun cream to school children in summer for fear of prosecution from parents. Similar stories say that carers aren't allowed to rub cream into the elderly either. They're all outraged and say it's political correctness gone mad.
Well I can second their arguments. I was liberally applying sun cream to my next door neighbour's 15 year old daughter's chest and I'm now facing a prison sentence and/or a security tag. When will this madness end?!?

You've got a point..... are there schools for young ladies (say 18ish) where I could get a job.... then help rub sun tan lotion on, and them give hugs if they're feeling down

Did you read about the mum who takes her disabled child to school by Taxi.
Because he is disabled he has to carry medication with him at all time. The Taxi company cannot administer the drugs (H&S) so the only person who can is his mum.
Sorted right
WRONG!!!!! because........
wait for it....................
because his mum has not been vetted by the council to work / travel with at risk minors, she cannot go in the taxi with him...
There response when questioned on the idiocy of the situstion..................
RULES ARE RULES !

We signed forms to allow the staff (Vetted CRB checked)at the nursery and school to adminster sun cream.
The rules on the face of it makes sense, then again if the people are vetted and supervised - IE not left alone with a child then fine.
Rules need to be sensible, practical - and well thought out - it is not difficult.
As dfor the apology to Muslims re the dog - integration means integrating into the country you and your family choose (and the key here is choose) to live in. If you cannot live by the laws and traditions then go somewhere else more suited. It is real simple.
I do not really want this country changed to suit the immigrants.
I do however want law and order and people to respect and value each other.
