This AGW Elf & Safety sh&t is going beyond all reason. I mean , we
haven't even had the hot spell yet and here is the pathetic
H&S brownie points mob telling passenger not to travel if they feel
feint and seel medical help!!!!!
What's AGW got to do with it?
It would take a pretty lurid imagination to connect that with an
excess of H & S, which there certainly is.
Don't spoil a valid point.
This nonsense is not the sole property of the poltical left but is an increasing characteristic of the entire nation,
one of infantilised anxiety-ridden ******s who actually rather enjoy it.
These days everything is driven by the requirement to demonstrate
countermeasures as a defence against ambulance chasing lawyers whose
fees are typically 3-10x what they obtain for the victim.
Have you been in an accident that wasn't your fault? Ring grasping
lawyers for you now and claim your reward for being stupid.
I'm not advocating a return to the cavalier attitudes of Edwardian
times (before anyone starts shouting)
but the present attitude is unhealthy and points to a loss of bottle.

The problem is that the general public are on the whole pretty stupid
and will drink themselves legless then fall asleep in the sun without
sunscreen and end up frazzled to bright pink and flaking. I describe
here the typical young sun seeking Brit on holiday on the continent.
On the rare occasions it happens in the UK you get the same and
unfortunately also a few people drowned due to thermal shock jumping
into cold deep water. Much as a hate to quote the Mail:

In the desert regions of the US there are fines for travelling without
the right amount of bottled water in your car. It seems people are more
afraid of the police fining them than they are of dying by dehydration.

And you believe the kind of people that will get absolutely sozzled and fry as they sleep in the sun or drown as they jump of a bridge will heed any warnings ?
This is the problem, society is now geared to catering for the profoundly ignorant and thick and we all have to jump through the same stupid hoops as them.
