Subject: RE: BS: Heallth & Safety gone nuts UK
A friend just returned from the UK brought news of the ban on the age-old game of Conkers!!!!!! ... and that one headmaster said kids could play it IF they wore crash helmets :~)))

Then there's some ruling about no headache pills being allowed in public restaurants - not even in a staffer's locker - and the subsequent illegality of giving a customer any relief for their pain!!!

WH&S legislation was rightly instigated to protect workers from bad work practices, but has ended up stifling and strait-jacketing and over-controlling the population. It's yet another police force.

Sadly, it's now all part of the current "you are not authorised to think - we will tell you what to do" dumming-down of the West's populations. We ignore these incursions into our rights to make our own decisions (and our own mistakes) at our peril ...
