Reported in the press at the weekend, it says that somewhere in the UK a council has decided, without consultation that all activities involving children and their parents will require that the parents are all CRB vetted!!
So Carol services to old people homes, concerts, sports activities etc will mean that if a parent wants either help, or go along to watch, they have to be vetted.
This is proposterous and will eventually cancel all activities, where the schools require assistance from parents.
I want to know who the hell is checking the councils and their staff that bring in these stupid rules.
I know that we have to be careful but to strangulate ALL activities, with a cost mind you of Stg65 for each CRB check, is just taking it oo far!!
We will all become a bunch of potato couches and sour pusses with no celebrations going on at all and that involves Birthday, weddding, anniversary parties!!

USA extradition treaty
What kind of an agreement can it be, when it is one sided.
This is what the UK has with the USA.
This is highlighted by the case of Gary McKinnon who has a dosability of Aspergers and yet this isn't taken into account when the USA wants to charge someone.
It is about time that the UK government started to look at bi-lateral agreements and not cower to the big bully boys !
The USA wants to save face by someone being able to hack into their "SAFE" computers.
What they should be doing is offering Gary McKinnon a job to show them how it was hacked into and how to stop it in future.!!

Broadband tax
A controversial new £6 tax on telephone lines to fund the introduction of superfast broadband internet will leave nearly two million households paying up to three times the levy initially proposed by ministers, according to leaked government documents seen by The Times.
Now we know why the Government was so keen to ensure that each home had Broadband.
They also saw how much other countries charge and thought Hey! this is a great money spinner.
Maybe instead of taxing the users why not tax the advertisers?
Expect to see many more announcements on taxation on our daily lives!

Banks win Overdraft charge court case ! What now?
This is a poke in the eye for the government. Why?
Well the banks in question are owned by the tax payer and they have been ripped off!
The banks will now start to make charges even higher.
Will the banks continue with their threat to charge for ATM withdrawals - of course they will, they think they can get away with murder now, as the government is inert and incompetant!!

Primary schools to give lessons in gender equality
Can you believe that the UK government is wasting our money on such P.C. (Political Correctness) as "Children as young as five are to have lessons in "gender equality" as part of the first national strategy to tackle violence against women and girls."
Surely:
1. Children as young as this have absolutely no idea of these issues
2. Governement is trying to take over the Parents role
3. Parents are not doing their bit when it is needed
What happened to a childhood?
The government really needs to be brought down to Earth as they are wasting money as bad as the banks at the moment.
I would like to know which blithering idiots think of these things and which one's listen and implement????

Even the Dutch are mocking the UK
In the Dutch newspapers today they are mocking the fact that the UK has the largest DNA database and arresting people for the least offence in order to increase the database.
Also they have been mocking the road cameras.
Now let me think! we have the large and growing database for DNA etc, but, arrests for crime have gone down ,along with the huge cost of implementing this database, which seems to get lost each year, in several formats (100 laptops missing a year and a number of database of names etc from Government and Defense officials on discs).
Is it me or is there something wrong here? Surely the money can be used for more urgently required items like NHS, Education etc etc.
or
Maybe a labourite read 1984 by George Orwell and took it literally!

How to cut Unemployment and Budget deficits!
Re-introduce conscription ! and also for immigrants here for 3 years or more.
Youngsters will be used (employed) and won't claim unemployment
Youngsters won't be around to have a family ( Boys and Girls)
Youngsters will learn a skill
Build self esteem
Build a more worldly person
Cheaper to be in the forces instead of paying benefits like: housing, Job seeker, Child allowance etc
It isn't rocket science is it?
