Nanny-State UK to Inspect Homes of Parents with Children Under 5 years
Mail Online ^ | May 17, 2010 | Jenny Hope and Steve Doughty

Posted on 05/18/2010 7:57:22 AM PDT by peachykeene

Parents of children under five are to get home checks to ensure they are keeping their youngsters safe. Inspectors will check whether families have installed smoke alarms, stair gates, locks on medicine cupboards, windows and ovens, and fitted temperature controls to stop bath water getting too hot. Guidelines for inspections have been drawn up on the instructions of the Department of Health in a bid to prevent injuries among under-15s in the home.

In the meantime, ABORT BABIES to “reduce the carbon footprint”. They don’t care about children or babies. THey are vile CONTROL FREAKS.

Mike Kelly, Nice’s public health excellence centre director, said: ‘Our aim is not to promote a nanny state.

Who the hell cares what your "aim" is; that is indeed the RESULT.

She added: ‘It’s optional, it’s not mandatory.

That's on the output side. On the input side, it WILL be Mandatory - because its another bout of spending from the public till.

Britain has devolved further from socialism to fascism. It always starts with the children, teachers, police, fire fighters, or in desperate cases, the military. Michelle Obama wants the government to make food choices for you, and it is disguised as “childhood obesity”.

Absolutely true. They support abortion under the guise of choice and carbon footprint. The “Progressives” wouldn’t abort a puppy, but a baby...sure.

Isn’t that always the case with leftists -

they judge their actions and policies by the intent,
not by the actual results,

and get highly offended if you point out the easily foreseeable results.

Another blessing of the UK!!!!

Don’t worry! It’ll be implemented here in America very shortly!

The UK - Leading the charge into the abyss of destruction of the West. I’m lovin’ it!

The bureaucrats of China destroyed that superpower 1000 years ago. Now it is time for them to take down the West.

Why do the Brits put up with this? Do they realize this kind of thing multiplied 1,000 times, is why their taxes are sky high?

Coming soon here along with the EPA Gestapo who will search your home for illegal light bulbs and toilets and ban you from selling your home without expensive energy updates.

So the British Government kills thousands of babies every year through abortion but wants to force you to take all sorts of measures to insure the safety of your own baby in your own home?????
This world has offically gone insane.........

First they make it optional, then when the serfs are accustomed to regular intrusions into their homes by fascist “inspectors” it’ll be mandatory...then optional for all homes with children under 18, then mandatory. It’s the incrementalist method so perfected by the left with every assault on personal liberty.

If your rights depended solely on convincing a majority, there isn’t any right that can’t be taken.

If it were clear that even a substantial minority will shoot them, then there isn’t any right that can be taken.

The officer of the law, or the social worker, is not just someone working to feed their family and carrying out their duty even if reluctantly and sorry about it and all. They are an instrument of tyranny and the enemy. The enemy is always just someone with a family and feelings who is just following orders.
