On the UK babysitting ban
Posted on September 28th, 2009 by Jackie Danicki
Americans often look puzzled when I refer to the UK’s nanny state. Well, the word “nanny” does spring to mind for multiple reasons here:
When two working women who look after each other’s children are told they are breaking the law by doing do because they are not registered with the state to do that, the only sane and moral thing to do is to break the law and to urge as many other people as possible to do the same.
Oh yes… not that it should matter, but the two women in question are policewomen.

I think the sad thing here was that someone ratted on them, and that doing a reciprocal arrangement is considered “compensation”. No surprise then that the state of trust and community in UK is totally in tatters.
Someone ratted on them because the British state has long fostered a culture where people are encouraged to turn informant on those who are breaking the law.
This should create a nice conundrum for the “it takes a village” types who also voted for these thugs.
This is the maddest thing I’ve heard for ages. When you consider that I’ve lived in the UK and under this government for 12 years, that’s really saying something.
