Nanny State: Squeezing the Zest for Life out of Britain

Nanny State Only Has a Zest for Bossing People Around

The primary goal of the Nanny State appears to be to make life so uncomfortable and colorless for the citizens, that they fail to understand how uncomfortable life has become. For example,

Living in Britain is now more dangerous than the Balkans

"You are more likely to be assaulted, robbed and burgled in Britain than in the region of southeast Europe once synonymous with war and gangsters, according to a report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime."

So the Police are applying themselves to the protection of society, right? 

Wrong!

5.7% of  rapists get convicted. Why?  Because the wonderful Police of Britains have decided that it is not a serious crime. Women are more casual about sex, you see. 

Or so the authorities opine.

"After Linda Davies reported to police that her 15-year-old daughter had been raped, it took three months -- plus two dozen phone calls and a threat of legal action -- before police questioned the suspect, a 28-year-old neighbor. " 

And note, we are not talking about consensual or statutory rape here. 

The Brits have reacted vigorously to the increasingly dangerous society they have created. They have disarmed their citizens so as to not provoke the criminals.The streets of Britain are now crowded with gangs of drunken yobs that are slowly turning UK cities into something out of Clockwork Orange. Travelers are warned not to look at anyone and not to leave your hotel after 11:00 PM. Stay out of Muslim neighborhoods.

So How Does Britain Respond?:

Brave grandma arrested after standing up to yobs

"After months of being taunted by a gang of yobs, grandmother Diane Bond finally stood up to them when she was abused while walking her pet dog. During a torrent of foul-mouthed abuse, the frail 64-year-old prodded the teenager ringleader gently in the stomach when he urged her to "Hit me, if you dare".

Moments later, the 5ft 1ins pensioner found herself flat on her back and nursing a broken arm after the 15-year-old boy, who was 7 inches taller, pushed her to the ground. But to add insult to injury, police officers arrested her for assaulting a child after his mother moaned he had been attacked."

But the vigilance of the UK police does not end there. Not by any means.

Motorist told  England's flag could be racist!

"Mr Smith, who works for G Plan Upholsterers on Hampton Park West, said: "He saw the flag and said it was racist towards immigrants and if I refused to take it down I would get a £30 fine.

"I laughed because I thought he was joking, but then I realised he was serious so I had to take it down straight away. I thought it was silly - it's my country and I want to show my support for my country."

Silly boy. 

This is not your country. It is a Nanny State, run by petty tyrant's with no concern for the outdated concept of individual rights. 

And to ensure the Police actually have something important to do, new laws are created everyday.

Coloured cigarette packets to be banned

Hence forth all cigarette packages will be same black and white print. No colored cigarette packages for the Brits.

You see, in Britain, individuality and color kills.
