OK, let’s look at the long arm of banning for the nanny state: remove and penalize all of the following.

1. Jumping or kids play equipment, especially in public parks;
2. Dogs in public spaces which can injure people, especially tripping hazards for the elderly;
3. Rivers, dams and water storage facilities all must be ring-fenced to protect the people from drowning – no matter how big or small the area;
4. Netting on all salt-water beaches; prevention of shark attacks, drowning, biting bugs, being hit by surfboards, dumped or otherwise injured in surf;
5. Climbing walls and abseiling bans; all rock climbing, mountain climbing and remote hiking to be taxed;
6. Tax on caffeine and sports drinks;
7. Fat consumption taxes;
8. Penalties for those overweight or underweight.
9. All footpaths must be even so that nobody trips
10. Fencing prohibited from having sharp tops on them as people might impale themselves;
11. All multi-storey buildings to have secured, locked windows to prevent opening and falling.
12, All trees must be kept trimmed to prevent boughs breaking and causing injury.
13, Derelict farm buildings must be removed so as to prevent flying debris during storms;
13. Cracked walls/retaining walls to be repaired or removed.
14. Kids’ jumping castles and all exterior domestic furniture must be kept secure at all times to prevent them becoming projectiles during (the increasing!) storms;
15. Tin roofs and loose tiles must be kept in premium condition.

There will be many many more which can be dreamt up in the attempt to ‘keep us all safe’.
