Background ad absurdium

In America you need to have a background check to buy a firearm.

In the UK, you need to have a background check to see you child at their school.

Last week, the boy Puddlecote’s school e-mailed their regular newsletter. At the end of the sterile but cheery message was a plea for parent participation.

“The children are always pleased when parents hear them sing at our assembly shows, so please come along if you can. Remember to bring your CRB checks with you”

Now, I’m CRB checked but was working. However, there are plenty others who would be able to attend but have never required clearance from the CRB in work or voluntary activities. And seeing as the process, in my experience, can take up to three months, anyone without clearance who wished to attend was effectively barred on the remote premise that they might be a paedophile.

Drive your child to the assembly and then go sit in the parking lot, perv.

Guilty until proven innocent, after all, it seems.

    Saw a poll taken in England that showed 70% of the people are dissatisfied with the direction their Government is going, and almost 50% say that England does not resemble the nation that they were born into.

    The English are ripe for a Revolution, with a major Un-Do, just like we are.
