Now, it seems, carol singing has been banned in a shopping mall in Hemel Hempstead, citing... ‘health and safety’, reasons.
It is increasingly apparent that ‘health and safety’ legislation is becoming a hazard to British customs, traditions and heritage. It contains the ‘catch-all’ regulations which can be zealously over-applied and exploited by those of the ‘liberal Left’ for distinctly illiberal purposes.
Well, hey - Christmas holiday carolers can be dangerous, too. Just because nobody's been hurt or killed yet doesn't mean it can't happen, so it's best to err on the side of safety, don't you think? After all, they're holding flammable materials in their hands.
