Council bans parents from play areas
Telegraph UK ^ | 10/29/09

Posted on 10/29/2009 10:53:43 AM PDT by FromLori

Parents have been banned from supervising their children in public playgrounds, because they have not undergone criminal record checks.

Only council-vetted "play rangers" are now allowed to monitor youngsters in two adventure areas in Watford while parents must watch from outside a perimeter fence.

The Watford Borough Council policy has been attacked as insulting and a disgrace by furious relatives who say they are being labelled as potential paedophiles.

Only a revolution will save Britain and Europe. The dictators and princes have to be removed once and for all. Is it no wonder that the IRA hates having Britain on their island?

This war is going to be big; ask yourself what side are you going to be on? The side of the European State or the side of the revolutionaries? I support the European Revolutionaries; they will rise in the next 10 years. The EU will be fractured. I support its dissolution for the salvation of the western culture on the European continent.

This makes sure that only first time molesters and the craftiest veterans get crack at your kids without risk of interference.

I almost wish I lived in the U.K. so that I could move out.

First you have to see what the revolutionaries have in mind. Overthrowing the tsar seemed like a good idea until...

I couldn’t support a czar and his nutty family. The people chose their dictator with Lenin and forced their fate. With the czars they had nothing.

With the EU the people of Europe have nothing but slavery. The EU is embracing societal slavery. They recognize that without bondage they can not hold on to the economic and political power of the elites. Power for the centeral authority requires an alignment of the peoples’ will to give them that power. Plantations for the goverment equates to the share cropping of individual incomes and harvest of tax. In each of their small plots of human existence allowed for by the state, the share cropper works to pay the overseers of the state.

The EU is a plague.

The people chose their dictator with Lenin and forced their fate.

Only a small minority in Russia at the time were Communists. I wouldn't say the "people forced their fate." Sometimes revolutions by well-meaning people can get high-jacked an d can go from bad to worse.

Even a full-blooded popular uprising revolution like France's can soon turn into a blood bath with a handful of demagogues taking over. I would rather have a counter-revolution to the one taking place under our noses here. Then, rather than risking Utopians and anarchists of all stripes making things still worse, you have a goal of restoring things to the way they were (minus Jim Crow, and with current technology).

I don’t think so Tim.

First time one of these “rangers” turns out to be a pedo, every last member of the council needs to have a visit from William Marwood.

Well the first choice of “rump ranger” sounded a little weird.

This is the logical progression from the uber-liberal totalitarian impulse that started with “all men are potential rapists”.

Now, everyone is a potential pedophile.

Don’t think this is limited to the UK. These totalitarians are among us in the USA as well. And they are gaining power.

“Nanny state” is a benign term ... this is pure totalitarianism.
