    Why the UK cannot compete

    Girl, 5, fined £150 for lemonade stand - BBC News

    The enforcement officers should be sacked. And prosecuted for illegally filming a child.

    I bet they were immigrants. After Brexit this will all be fine.

    I do expect to get banned for this thread. Though it is not nearly as bad as accusing Farage of murder. Typical Bremoaner mods and their :nazi: jackboots.

    Who were immigrants? The enforcement officers or the child?
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      Indeed - they were just following orders.

      And when that little girl disappears for not being toeing the socialist line they will also just be following orders.

      I guess this is how it happens though - these things start small and before you know it

        Since when has it been illegal to film a child?

          Are you being serious?

          You go to a local playpark and whip your camera out - see if you can get some shots of 5 year olds on a swing and coming down the slide.

          You'll be lucky to get out alive.

            Typical BBC running this story.

              Typical systemic public sector culture of absolute omni-incompetence.

              Honest to god, they should say to every single office based public sector employee "We're going to be getting someone, anyone, in from the Private Sector to shadow your job for 3 months. At the end of it, they're going to take over on a trial period of one month whilst you have garden leave. If after that, they appear to do a better job (whilst not expecting to be rewarded for failure, or to be employed for life), then your contract is terminated.."

              That would solve the issues in the public sector overnight (well after 3/4 months).

                Our local council sent out a reminder that it was the last chance to pay 40 notes for a twice weekly garden bin collection for the year and then their hard working underpaid workforce went on strike so no collections so far, a refund

                  The private sector would be worse. They would have full time enforcement officers backed up by a firm of solicitors and collection officers.

                  Just look at what has happened in London Burroughs when parking enforcement is privatised. You get over zealous parking wardens.

                    indeed good point, well made.
                    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
