And they say the majority of NT behaviour is normal... If the story is anywhere near the truth, it is those that believe they are normal that aren't.

Not a comment to offend NT's here who are aware of people on here... If that makes sense, time to shut up now

So they're scared of a couple of people in penguin costumns?
OH NOES! NOT TEH EVIL HAPPY FEET!! !!

They better be glad that's the least of their worries. They ought to come to Memphis and see what it's like to really fear for their lives. They'd probably wet their pants the first time they're caught in the middle of a gang-related shoot-out at the park.

from the article you linked to

Quote:
A council spokesman insisted that only those 'acting suspiciously' would be stopped and questioned.


and

Quote:
'In particular, this applies to those areas where children or more vulnerable groups gather.'


So you won't be questioned just because you don't have a child with you. But you will be questioned if your peaking behind the bushes near a playground and no child is playing peek-a-boo with you. I'd say the only problem should be if park officials didn't question a person acting suspiciously, unaccompanied by a child in a children's area

I give up. I really f***ing give up on this s**thole of a country and the jumped-up power-hungry c***s running it.


That's exactly the way I'm feeling about this country, and especially if things go bad for the election in two months.

Why was this not shocking to find out this was Britain. It's almost as if Britain is being used as some orwellian experiment.

No, actually, that would be our country, the good ol' USA. And it's only gonna get a lot worse if people don't wake the hell up.

yes they can do that in the UK; it's an ASBO. Anti-Social Behavior Order. And MAN the UK is f****d up; I know the surveillance state was bad there but DAMN.

given it's the UK, they experienced that type of incidents...given things from the IRA bombings, "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland, etc..

EDIT: reading article. For one, this is old to me

The wut.. I knew they were pulling this but wow,...

The policy has been introduced at Telford Town Park in Shropshire. The council which manages the 420-acre area says it is a 'commonsense approach' aimed at safeguarding children.


f**k common sense and f**k the children.

As an add-on to this BS laws 'dealing with pedos' the UK is passing, THEY MADE LOLICON ILLEGAL

I think 'acting suspicously' will be interpreted to mena not with their SO, not a parent, not jogging: In the UK, parents are not allowed to take photos of their own children at school events for fear of pedophiles. A guy I know deliberately limits contact with his nephews for fear of being labeled a pedophile. Another guy was near a park, some kids kicked a football near him, he picked it up, kicked it back at them and said 'hi, kids,' and they started shouting 'pedo, pedo.' I trained to work with children, and the first and most emphasised piece of advice was never to physically come in contact with them - not even if they have an accident, not even in an emergency (this even though we got background checks, we were never left alone with the kids, etc). Another person I know (foreign female) once she saw a child on the street, without an umbrella or raincoat, getting soaked in the heavy rain, and she shared her umbrella - the child was amazed a perfect stranger would offer help.
Yet apart from from this pedophile hysteria, once children are old enough to open the fridge on their own, they're usually just ignored by their parents and are in effect raised by schools and their peers (why these parents had kids in the first place is beyond me). This in a society where the adults moan about how awful children, and especially teenagers, are (they're not that bad in my experience - but in any case, if they really are that bad, doesn't the generation supposed to raise them bear some responsibility?). Unlike in other societies, teenagers are only ever mentioned in the news as either victims or perpetrators of crime. On a documentary on tv, they showed various exceptionally overprotected kids - tellingly, one of them said she was afraid of teenagers, even though she had not actually had any bad experiences with them, and could give no concrete reasons for this fear. Also, while these kids' parents were all paranoid about pedophiles, and some of them were paranoid about their physical safety, not even one of them seemed to even think about their emotional well-being, let alone the impact of this over-protectiveness and paranoia.
On a study about children's happiness, it turned out British kids are just about the most unhappy in the entire developed world, well behind less developed countries like Poland and Italy. I wasn't surprised.
I wouldn't want to raise a family here, and would rather take my chances in my violent Third World country.

so the guy just was called a pedo because he talked to the kids and gave them their ball back??? What a joke..

it is understandable to want your kids to be safe, but at the same time you can't take the protection too far.
i mean it is unfair that parents are unable to take pictures of their own kids at sports events ridiculous, for the love of cake, really, u can't chronicle the life of your kids???

I believe that has replaced cricket as the national sport in the UK. For example, did you know that all the urban areas in the entire country are blanketed in police CCTV cameras for the ostensible purpose of catching "soccer hooligans"?
