Health and Safety Madness

I just have to comment on the recent crop of crazy rules, which local authorities and other responsible bodies have imposed on people, to prevent participants from enjoying themselves.
Butlin's at Bognor Regis, Skegness,and Minehead have banned Dodgem cars from banging into one another.
The East Riding Authority have banned kite flying in Bridlington because a kite might hit someone.
Then at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships 'Murray Mound' was closed on wet days, in case somebody slipped.
On the day of the Royal Wedding, street parties with bunting that hung too low to let fire engines through were not allowed to go ahead.
The Royal British Legion can't use pins to attach poppies in case somebody pricks themself.
Children are not allowed to play on Monkey Bars in Oxfordshire because they might slip and graze themselves.
Drivers of floats in fancy dress processions are forbidden because of concern that they might work too many hours.
In Colchester council workers were forbidden to carry an old lady's tv away in case they hurt themselves.
Sack races at school events banned in case the children fell and twisted their ankle.
And lastly in Merseyside, leather footballs have been banned at school because one might hit a pupil in the face....only sponge footballs now allowed.
I remember when this country had resilient values. There are soldiers risking their lives fighting for these pathetic people in this country, who aren't capable of risk assessment with a view to children having fun, but hide behind their wimpish banner of Health and Safety.
At least this Health and Safety Madness is now being addressed. Chris Grayling is trying to bring common sense to this whole issue. Not before time !!!
