Ok. This is NOT ok at all. Adults without children have the right to enjoy the park just as much as adults with children do. I think it causes parental Paranoia that lurking behind every bush is a child molester. It's also bad ebcause ti makes it seem as though parents are perfect, and if a parent or adult is there with a child, they wouldn't ever hurt them. parents can be bad people too.

i, too, would be better growing up with no father around.

I would have understood it, if it would've been some kind of fun park, mainly for children (like Disney Land or so). But if I got this article right, it's just any other public city park in some small town. Most likely they never had any case of trouble since 300 years...
But then: Two madman in penguin costumes hand out leaflets! PANIC!! !

btw: That was in Great Britain? Are council workers allowed to control people there? If here in Amsterdam any guy not wearing a police uniform would ask me for whatever, it ould be me calling the police...

As much as I lerv the Daily Mail, the reason to read it is for the celebrities unprepared photos. I woudn't take their "news" seriously. It's schlock.

Jesus Christ.

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

I wouldn't even understand it in Disneyland or similar parks. I go there alone as adult about once a year. Not for any reason these people might think but to have fun and enjoy the rides. I am not a criminal for wanting to have fun, am I?

True, rethinking that it would be nonsense there too. Especially since all the kids there are in groups or with parents anyway.

I think more of the problem was that these people who dressed up as penguins were handing out literature -- maybe even just targetting children with it. Some of those types of "activists" cross the line into being abusive and annoying. It depends on what exactly they were doing. If they were going around telling children that they parents were polluters and murderers for driving a big car, that is abuse.

I don't understand how any adult just in the park could be kicked out for not having an good enough excuse to be there without children. I use the swings at my local park. I avoid talking to other people unless necessary. I would hate to be kicked out or even asked what I was doing there.

If someone feels that a person is acting suspiciously or saying inappropriate things to children then they should ask a park worker or the police for help.

Damn British.

acting suspiciously? what does that mean? According to a lot of NT's us on the spectrum act suspiciously

Leave it to NTs to stomp all over civil rights because they get a tiny bit paranoid.

Ridiculous. It would be laughable and I'd pass it off as another crappy daily mail BS story if I hadn't also seen it in the Telegraph and something else in my news roundup email this morning...

What is this, like the third or fourth "Crazy UK Nanny Laws" thread in the last week or so? At this rate, their state mascot will have to be changed from the British Bulldog to Mary Poppins with a Sten gun...

~Ahem~ It really doesn't reflect on the rest of us, you know ...

Someone just get rid of Brown already. He wasn't even elected!! What gives him the right to be pm?!

This country really pisses me off at the moment.

You should try living here. I stopped reading newspapers at one point because every day they'd report yet another piece of crazy legislation designed to enslave us.


Fear not! One day the British people will rise up against their oppressors. Cast away the shackles of EU dictatorship, and hang those who've betrayed us from the lamposts of Westminster.

Hmm... perhaps not anytime soon.
