They are calling it a health and safety issue to try to divert the blame.Garethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10838231735212300705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10345672.post-85716481060446238042012-08-14T12:18:34.591+01:002012-08-14T12:18:34.591+01:00Here's an idea - don't give compensation t...Here's an idea - don't give compensation to idiots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10345672.post-38124802299204498552012-08-14T04:58:46.355+01:002012-08-14T04:58:46.355+01:00Ok, I gotta say...I'm from the U.S., and there...Ok, I gotta say...I'm from the U.S., and there is ALL kinds of wrong with my country.

The council should be forthcoming about the number and cost to the public purse of previous cases. <br /><br />Sounds to me like yet another case of a self important interfering busybody using H&S as justification for being a killjoy.<br /><br />Have they really thought about the risks to tourists properly? The sea's a bit dangerous and what if somebody were to fall off the pier. There are so many risks to the health and safety of tourists that the council better ban them straight away.<br /><br />And have they considered the obvious need for a man with a red flag walking ahead of all council owned vehicles. After all somebody might sue the council were they to have an accident.<br /><br />Oh FFS! This is why councils should only employ people who have worked in the private sector for at least ten years. Too many people working in local government are completely divorced from reality.Garethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10838231735212300705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10345672.post-91891981837642283982012-08-13T15:55:54.400+01:002012-08-13T15:55:54.400+01:00I'm interested in knowing how many cases they&...I'm interested in knowing how many cases they've had in terms of injury due to the outstretched arms.
