Following my first blog, i am pleased to comment on the common sense reported by surrey police to take the common sense route to policeing. At last someone has deemed that we can live in a non target driven society. Hurray!!
Let's hope more and more institutions follow the example of this one and get back to doing the jobs they were set up to do instead of pandying to politicians.
Interestingly, today it has been announced that the government is now going to put forward a plan to stop ciggie companies from branding their products. Hmmmm. I find this very interesting at how far this nanny state is prepared to interfere with my life. Not only does it attempt- with much success- to ban using this product in many areas, which on the whole is not too bad an idea, but now it wishes to banish it from the shelves. I would like to know of other products which are quite legal to purchase and use over the age of consent, to which we are banned from seeing and very restricted in using.
I will give a parody- if that's the right expression. A shop can legally sell shoes- manufacturers can legally make the product- people can buy the product quite legally, but the government decides that it is illegal to wear shoes.
I'll leave that thought with you for a while.
