The water temperature thing is the classic case of putting the cart
before the horse ... and no-one is calling them on it!

It came about because of the number of accidents involving small
children getting scalded by hot bath water. The solution adopted by
the government is to try to legislate the temperature of the water
coming out of the tap. They completely ignored the fact that the
actual safety issue was that small children should NOT be left ALONE
near a bath (hot or cold).

The government (through its cuddly relationship with the media) is
working flat out to ensure that the electorate do not THINK about
anything important. Just concentrate on the mass-produced crap in
the tabloids, the eloquently phrased crap in the broadsheets and
the photogenic crap in 95% of the channels on the moron box.

Old Teflon Tony will probably get this through despite a token amount
of bleating from the Tories and Liberals: his fixers will see to that.

Lower the standard and everyone gets a better mark: that means that
our education policy is working ... doesn't it? Well yes, in as much
as it means that fewer and fewer people are capable of logical thought
or intelligent analysis of the actions of that twat's cronies.
