Nut allergy boy banned for health and safety - Top Stories - News - Mirror.co.uk Interesting one that, my 6 year old (and every other child) isn't allowed to take peanut butter sarnies to school as there's one pupil with a nut allergy. Presumably If the school had known in advance they could have instituted a similar style plan, but without filling out all the paperwork associated with such 'problems', and ticking all the boxes that officialdom demands they're paralysed in the face of health & safety or litigation concerns?

So, for the sake on one boy, they interrupt the lives of EVERY other family in the school? What do the do now if one of the other children has a strong food jag and will ONLY eat peanut butter? I had a neighbor who had a child like that.
I know mate, faintly Stalinist to me too, but in this daft compensation/blame culture I can see why the school takes it as the easy way out, even where there's such a slim possibility of harm. I did wonder if they had employed people to precede the poor little sod down the street making sure nobody was eating a muesli bar or something...
NFL Star: They Speak English In London? - Yahoo! News UK Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder has admitted not knowing people speak English in London. The NFL player might want to check a map before he gets on board a plane for Sunday's prestige game against the New York Giants at Wembley Stadium. Crowder, who comes from Atlanta in Georgia, may be praised on the field, but confessed geography was not his strong point. He admitted he did not know until now where London was - or that Londoners spoke English. "I couldn't find London on a map if they didn't have the names of the countries," he said. "I swear to God. I don't know what nothing is. I know Italy looks like a boot. I learned that." Crowder added: "I know (Washington Redskins linebacker) London Fletcher. We did a football camp together. So I know him. "That's the closest thing I know to London. He's black, so I'm sure he's not from London. I'm sure that's a coincidental name." The Miami Dolphins are play the New York Giants at Wembley this Sunday in the first NFL regular-season game to be played outside the United States.
Geez.....takes all kinds. Can't believe folks wanted the flag down. When mom and dad immigrated to the States from England, Mom would fly her British flag on the 4th of July in Chicago........still grin at that one.
It'll never happen. And this annoyed me: "It argued if Christmas must continue, equal recognition should be given to celebrations of other religions". No. Why should it? Let other religions celebrate on their own. Do they celebrate our national anniversaries? Not that I'm aware of. Imagine going to a muslim state and requesting they ban Ramadam. I'm rambling. I'd better shut up.

An institute spokesman hit back at the Tories, saying: "The Conservatives do not understand the report. It makes the point Christmas should be celebrated by all who want to - but society should respect religious festivals of all faiths." Yes, but with no overriding emphasis on Christmas festivities.:mad111:

We in the Southern United States have been facing this ever since the politicians began rolling over to the Civil Rights movement. Banned by the PC police in the South today are (among other things) *Flying the Confederate Battle Flag *The word Confederate (Law suit at Vanderbuilt University v. the United Daughters of the Confederacy stopped the removal) *Confederate Monuments (just last week someone honoring Nat Turner defaced the Confederate Monument at the Alabama State Capitol in Montgomery *The singing of and playing the song Dixie *The use of Rebel mascots for high school teams and the University of Mississippi *Successful attempt to remove the Confederate Battle Flag from the Georgia State Flag *Unsuccessful attempt to remove the Confederate Battle Flag from the Mississippi State Flag *National Collegiate Athletic Association ban on playing championship events in the state of South Carolina and Mississippi because in South Carolina a Confederate Battle Flag flies on the Confederate Monument on the Capitol grounds and in South Carolina because the people of the State voted to keep the current flag *etc......
