More nuttiness courtesy of the Nanny State

So now you can't go into a shop in the UK & buy booze if you are accompanied by your kids

"A man who was prevented from buying a bottle of wine in a Sussex supermarket because he was with his 15-year-old daughter has criticised its policy.

Mark Brown said he told staff at Asda in Brighton that the wine was for him.

But Mr Brown, who often shops with his daughter Madison, said he was told he could not be served the alcohol unless she had ID to prove her age.

A statement from Asda said it had been "erring on the side of caution in line with national guidelines".

This country is getting worse & worse by the day, with personal responsibility not just being discouraged but positively outlawed in favour of State control of our lives.

Of course NOT ONE of these Laws has done a damn' thing to reduce crime but they were never really intended to - it's all about the "feel good factor" & "perceptions" rather than solid, down to earth reality.

Probably because REALLY doing something would take money away from more important things, like Gay & Lesbian workshops, or housing more Somali refugees in our prisons after they decide killing people is fun......
