POLICE ARE OUR PROTECTERS

They are the very last people to need mollycoddling and infantile health and safety advice about such dangers as slipping on mushy autumn leaves or being blinded by bright sunshine in the summer.

No wonder that officers serving in the West Midlands Constabulary are insulted at being subjected to a campaign to raise their awareness of “seasonal dangers”.

An even greater insult is to the millions of taxpayers whose hard­ earned money is wasted on such nonsense. there can be no greater proof that Britain’s nanny state is completely out of control.
