Why can’t I enjoy a drink or two after work, minus all the nannying?

WHAT IS all this rubbish about when we should be allowed to drink? Even in this modern age we have a ridiculous cut-off point for public houses as, apparently, we cannot be trusted to behave ourselves.

For those of us who work until one o’clock in the morning it would be nice to be able to pop to a bar for a glass of wine, a G&T or a beer.

But because the powers that be seem to think we are too thick and stupid in this country to be able to behave ourselves, the Government says no.

The nanny state is getting worse, which you would not expect under the Tories.

If people behave badly, get drunk and make the streets a menace, then arrest them and sling them inside, rather than giving them a caution.

Fine them heavily and if they moan about not having enough money, they shouldn’t be drinking in the first place.

We are too soft. Why shouldn’t those of us who enjoy an occasional drink be able to go about our lives the way we want, simply because of a minority who cannot cope?

University is teaching midwives that men can get pregnant! Who comes up with this drivel and why are they still working in education? A university that allows this rubbish really shouldn’t be a university.

Apparently, students taking the course were too embarrassed to contradict the lecturer because they were frightened of being cancelled. People who run universities like this should hang their heads in shame. When is this stupidity going to end? Of course minorities should be respected and of course they should be included, but not to the extent that we start telling ridiculous lies.

And where has the balance gone? Men cannot have babies They can help make them but they ain’t giving birth.

Maybe I should become a lecturer.

HAVE cyclists become the most boring and annoying individuals on the planet? I don’t wish to stop anybody having their fun, but when you are taking part in something as dangerous as road cycling you do need a certain level of skill and awareness. You’ve got the older ones wobbling all over the road obviously not listening for traffic, then you’ve got the families with kids that seem to be out of control, and then there are those who think they may be Olympians in ridiculously tight Lycra with their heads down trying to win a race.

If you’re going to get your kicks from riding a bike, you should at least be identifiable with a number plate. You should be insured and you should be made to obey the Highway Code. And now drivers can only overtake if they have a metre-and-a-half distance. Which lamebrain came up with that? Some cycle lanes aren’t that wide! This obsession with thinking you’re saving the planet has gone too far. Cyclists should be confined to tracks.
