Safety campaign launched

I just read on the BBC page that some Scottish Sheriff has asked for all looped blind cords to be banned after a little girl accidentally hung herself on one. Tragic and my heart goes out to her parents. ROSPA are leafleting all houses about the danger of these cords. What might be more cost effective in these times of austerity is a different type of campaign - Common sense for parents. Instead of all the tax payers funding a variety of different nanny ways of making our lives supposedly safer, and more inconvenient, there could be just one campaign directed at parents. The rest of us can get on with our lives in peace.

Thank goodness this government has noticed that funding people to have copious amounts of children is not a good way to balance the books. It is those of us who don’t have children who are contributing most in tax so it is about time we got the benefit in return.  After the budget yesterday I’ll be £46.47 better off a year!
