Well I have to say it, the UK's gone bloody mad. Recently an elderly woman was trampled by cows and badly injured, a passing hiker drove off the cows and dragged the lady to safety (well done mate) then phoned for an ambulance.... that's when it went tit's up, the first response paramedic arrived... and refused to climb over the gate to help the injured woman, instead she waited 10 minutes for the fire service to arrive and cut the gate open before going in. It seems health and safety raised it's ugly head. Well what can you say , the clues in the title first response..., bloody waste of space more like it, even St Johns ambulance would have gone to help the woman, the ambulance service should be ashamed of itself..
Then theres the other elderly disabled woman who's wheelchair rolled onto the railway lines in a station, thank god the ambulance service didn't have to rescue her (she'd still be there now I expect) but a member of staff and a few passengers did.... then the member of staff was suspended for breaching health and safety. Barmy, the blokes a bloody hero and the fucking morons who run the railway suspend him. Pity it wasn't the idiot who decided to suspend him, leave that silly bastard on line if you ask me.
Trouble is next time you or I fall on the line, or trip over a kerb somewhere no bugger will come to help us, the ambulace people will be afraid to get out of the ambulance and cross the road without a passing boy scout to help them, and the people working nearbye will be afraid to help for fear of getting the sack. What we need to do is start sacking the clowns who make up this health and safety crap (most of it's not real health and safety anyway) and start giveing medals to people who try to help others, like we used to years ago when the country was a much better place.
