A council up my way has just banned some bloke from having an England flag outside his factory unit.
The conclusion I draw from these stories is we have far too many people employed at public expense who have nothing to do.
I would sack half of all council employees who wear a suit, and warn the rest they will go the same way unless they can show they are doing something useful.
I honestly believe local people would barely notice a reduction in services.
Might even improve things as the organisation becomes leaner, meaner and fitter.

Can't be a completely bad thing to ban drinking games in Norfolk. Perhaps then they'd be less inclined to procreate with a sibling or first cousin.

That's probably why they've got so many H&S officers in the first place!

Just do as I do. Ignore the 'rules'
And................what right does a council have to ban an individual from flying an England flag outside their premises/property. None I suspect. Today I intend to obtain one and fly it at home. Lord help the petty sod that attempts to curtail me.

The ban is on promoting "speed drinking", not on dwile flonking.

I'm sure the same council suggested cutting down all horse chestnut trees in the area a few years ago, on the grounds that someone might be injured either by falling conkers or at least in the pursuit of gathering same.
Nice to know that "care in the community" can lead to gainful employment for some! ;-)
