Home this evening to discover the Health and Safety Executive have sent me a piece of knotted string ! Apparently I can order up to five more pieces of knotted string. For free. If you ignore the cost of what must be around a few quid per knot extorted from taxpayers once postage and labour (yes, it appears to be hand knotted) are taken into account.
This is to ‘help me keep the promise’ although the actual promise is not specified. How about this. I promise to send the HSE a letter under the FOI demanding they reveal how much money has been wasted on this pointless exercise. I might further promise to try an get the brains behind this particular ‘idea’ named and held up as a laughing stock throughout England.
It would seem that no one in the public sector seems to have grasped the situation. We are collectively – skint. Skint means that daft campaigns showering bits of knotted string on an unsuspecting population are more than risible, they are actively unwelcome.
