There's a lot of the madness about. All across Europe, it seems that officials are responding ever-more irrationally to the coronavirus pandemic.
A Spanish official has apologised for spraying the local beach with bleach, in preparation for a partial easing of Spain’s lockdown. The day before children were due to be allowed outside for the first time, Zahara de los Atunes, near Cadiz, used tractors to spray more than two kilometres of the beach with bleach disinfectant.
Hmm, you don't have to be a biologist or an ecologist to guess what that did.
In Sweden, Lund council has dumped a tonne of chicken manure in its central park in order to deter residents from celebrating Walpurgis Night, which is usually a big drinking holiday.
‘It will stink and so it may not be so nice to sit and drink beer in the park’, a local councillor told the Swedish press.
Their love for humanity truly is something to behold
The excesses of the British corona coppers have been well-documented. On the first weekend of the official lockdown, Derbyshire Police dyed a local ‘blue lagoon’ black, because the good weather was attracting too many people to the picturesque spot.
Who can top these examples of insanity?
The competition is stiff, to say the least.

Wouldn't it be better to put up a sign that says ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK? That ought to take care of it.

Wouldn't it be better to put up a sign that says ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK? That ought to take care of it. In a rational world, Jessie, adult people are free to choose, in a pseudo-socialist world the state - and its agents - know best. We call it the nanny state, and public health is a major part of that. For example, a report from the independent campaign group The Taxpayers' Alliance revealed 266 public health staff earned more than £100,000 in the past year. What do we get for that? In a typically heavy-handed intervention this week, the quango Public Health England (PHE) even issued guidance on how to reduce the size of the main Christmas meal, with nannying advice on the number of turkey slices and roast potatoes that is nutritionally acceptable.
Welcome to Britain at the end of 2018, where taxpayers' money is used to underwrite arbitrary instructions from a bunch of snobbish zealots about how much we should have on our Christmas plates.www.express.co.uk/comment/columnists/leo-mckinstry/1063993/nanny-state-government-bullying-national-healthSalt, sugar, alcohol... you name it and they have a puritannical view on it, but a real health problem is way beyond their expensive capability.
