His coded warning chimes with unease shared by many Conservative MPs that Mr Cameron has failed to make a greater impact in the opinion polls as Tony Blair is beset by difficulties.

THE BBC has signalled the end of traditional broadcasting after announcing a strategy that will allow viewers to control when and how they watch programmes.Mark Thompson, the Director-General, announced a radical shake-up yesterday in the delivery of all the corporation’s services after saying that the BBC was increasingly seen as irrelevant by younger audiences. But commercial rivals called for closer scrutiny of its digital ambitions — which now extend to becoming a music industry “talent scout” — and an interest in computer games.

Has the world gone mad??? April 16, 2006

ASTROLL in the countryside would be regarded by most people as a harmless, pleasurable activity. But to health and safety officials in Leicestershire, it is fraught with danger.

Under county council guidelines, anyone organising guided walks is required to undertake a full ‘risk assessment’ before they embark on their hazardous expeditions.

This assessment addresses questions such as: ‘Are there likely to be overhanging branches or rabbit holes?’ and ‘Does your walk pass near a river, stream or canal? If so, participants should wear lifejackets.’

Thanks to the growing interference by officialdom, this kind of absurd safety consciousness i s now sweeping Britain, leading to endless restrictions and crackdowns.
