Bare-breasted or fully clothed, Emma won’t be watching the traditional fireworks display this year. For years our annual bonfire and fireworks display was organised by a local charity, but like many such events, it has now run foul of the dreaded Health and Safety (gone mad) Regulations. Because of the enormous increase in claims against the organisers of such events, insurance premiums have become too high even for town councils to face, let alone smaller charitable organisations. Following the lead of our friends across the pond, the UK has become a litigious nation, and no-one is expected to take care of their own safety any more. Lawyers are now allowed to advertise their services (through agents) and ambulance-chasing has become a major industry. Judges oblige by awarding extensive damages, instead of simply asking “Why didn’t you look where you were going?” or “Did you not think of asking for the proper ladder?” I’m thinking of suing Emma for hurting my back last week. She should have known what effect opening her legs would have on me.
