Conkers To The Authoritarian Health & Safety




I always been one for natural selection. Thoughs who believe in the authoritarian Health and Safety will look at the Darwin Awards and see the need for Health and Safety where I am one who think it shows why we don't need H&S. This authoritarian approach to life is why I become a Tory, to help get ride of it and bring in personal responsibility. This is a speach DC made about H&S:
"When children are made to wear goggles by their head teacher to play conkers.

When trainee hairdressers are not allowed scissors in the classroom. I want to see if we can extend this sort of legal protection for all people acting in good faith - especially public service professionals. When office workers are banned from moving a chair without expert supervision. When staff at a railway station don't help a young mum carry her baby son's buggy because they are not insured. When village fetes are cancelled because residents can't face jumping through all the bureaucratic hoops. It is clear that what began as a noble intention to protect people from harm has mutated into a stultifying blanket of bureaucracy, suspicion and fear that has saturated our country, covering the actions of millions of individuals as they go about their daily lives."

The rest can be read Here.
 
I say good on DC for going for a real Conservative issow and attacking the ever growing H&S industry. Conkers to you if you like Health and Safety.
