New Labour: Elf & Safety: £250 bill to play whist.

the Telegraph:

A group of pensioners have had to abandon their weekly game of cards after being charged £250 to cover the cost of health and safety.

The 14 whist players - aged between 70 and 90 - met every Friday for almost 10 years in a communal room at a sheltered housing complex in Norfolk.

But officials at Neville Court, in Heacham, told the group they must pay liability insurance for all those who did not live at the complex before they could meet again...

Another player, who did not wish to be named, added: "It's disgusting that Freebridge is more concerned about making sure no-one could ever sue them than ensuring their residents have a good quality of living. "How on earth is someone going to injure themselves whilst playing cards?"

The card players were told they had been banned from the premises after their game on August 1.

This is the result of dull cunts voting Labour, cause and fucking effect. Still once socialism kicks in with the pointless bean counting and paperwork related to said beans, every small cock'd wanker with an SS attitude comes out of the woodwork with clipboard in hand spouting shit like "Rules is rules..."Check this cunt out re the above story:

Tony Hall, chief executive of FCH, said it was standard procedure to ensure members of the public using their facilities were insured.

"Freebridge Community Housing actively promotes the use of its community rooms as the social interaction of its elderly residents and people from the local community is a positive contribution to their lives," he said.

"It is general practice that any room hire includes a requirement for insurance.

"This can be covered by the group, club insurance or could form part of the hire cost. Freebridge charges a nominal hire charge but then require individuals to organise their own insurance.

"The requirement has been in place for many years, but as Freebridge has recently updated the hire agreement it is checking that groups have their own insurance in place.

Labour being(and supporting) authoritarian cunts for the last 100 years.

(James)Gordon Brown says petty rules and health safety nazis give me a fucking boner!
