EU bans 'dangerous' anoraks

Tuesday, 21 April 2009 |

When I read the headline, I thought that my time was up, but apparently this is a genuine EU decision to tackle the severe risk to children from drawstrings in their anorak hoods. 


It's hard to know what to say. This is the front line of the battle against the bureaucrats, where common sense has no place, and risk is no longer seen as character developing, but something to be avoided at all costs.

Let's hope that the Libertas ideology of promotion of small businesses and risk taking to rebuild the damaged economies of Europe will directly challenge the gutless nanny-state being built in Brussels.
