Get a Life

A breath of fresh air from Bill Callaghan, chairman of Scotland's Health and Saftey Commission regarding the sort of PC insanity that results in the banning of conkers and oranges in schools and hides an ugly truth (emphasis added):

Some of the 'health and safety' stories are just myths. There are also some instances where health and safety is used as an excuse to justify unpopular decisions. But behind many of the stories there is at least a grain of truth - someone really has made a stupid decision.

We're determined to tackle all three. My message is that if you're using health and safety to stop everyday activities - get a life and let others get on with theirs.
More and faster, please.
