Baking bad
ANYONE who believes office staff “harm” their colleagues by bringing in cakes is clearly an egg short of a Victoria sponge.
And we could ignore health fussbucket Prof Susan Jebb were she not the influential head of the Food Standards Agency.
Equating cake donors with smokers is so obviously ridiculous it doesn’t need deconstructing here.
Let us challenge, though, why obesity obsessive Prof Jebb wants workplace treats to become a no-no.
It’s because, she claims, they are simply impossible to resist (even by her).
Which is rubbish, as well as classic patronising, illiberal nanny statism: The belief that Brits, the poorest especially, are victims of a wicked food-promoting culture rather than being guided by our own desires, choices and free will.
And that this can only be resolved by robbing us of pleasure, withholding the gateau, making pariahs of its cruel pushers and replacing chocolate ads with those for cauliflower . . . which Prof Jebb must imagine everyone would snack on if we only knew about it.
It is deranged.
Equally mind-boggling is that, despite 13 years in power, the Tories have failed to sack the big-state lefties still running every quango and replace them with a few people of sound common sense.
Give us brake
CARS are much safer and built far better than they were years ago.
So why not make the MoT every two years? Why not carry out a new vehicle’s first one after four years, not three?
Sensible drivers have their cars serviced. There’s no reason to fear such changes will make them more dangerous.
What they will do is save motorists an annual hassle — and a few quid.
In these grim times they all add up.
Brexit bottlers
REMOANERS love to say Brexit “has failed”.
Leavers knew it was a long-term project and the first few years might be bumpy — even before Covid and war.
But only two years since we finally left, Remainer blowhards confidently call it all a failure with “no benefits”.
They should rethink over a bottle of plonk . . . which will be 50p cheaper once the last petty EU rules are binned.
Santé, nos amis!
Purge on cops
IT is a huge task to check every cop against crime databases. But it’s vital.
Trust in the police is at a near 40-year low. No wonder, after the crimes of Wayne Couzens and David Carrick.
It is staggering Carrick was ever hired, let alone kept on by the Met despite two decades of complaints against him.
Vetting and recruitment procedures are plainly broken. Forces nationwide must be purged — and the system rebuilt.
