Have we become a nation of bored busy-bodies?

No matter what you want to do these days, someone will always poke their nose in with so-called "guidance". There's always someone to tell you how to drive, what to eat, how to be healthy, don't smoke, how to handle your money. Counselling for everything you care to mention. Years ago, there was no time for any of this as we were always trying to live with poverty or fighting wars. Now, there's always someone who thinks they can tell you what to do about anything. A couple of glaring examples; you will regularly hear on the radio someone telling you to be careful if you're driving on the motorway because it's been raining overnight and there will be lots of spray around! Really?! Or there's the ad on TV at the moment telling people to "drink responsibly". Bored busy-bodies again. Just leave it out!

It's been like that for years!
The public information broadcasts - coughs and sneezes spread diseases!!
Look left, look right, look left again!
Be like dad, keep mum!
Clunk click every trip.
Before the war there was a lot of meddling by the 'upper classes' in the lives of the ordinary working family. Those blessed do-gooders stopped children going up chimneys, and look where that's led to. Bored kids wreaking havoc and mugging people instead of going to bed exhausted at 7pm.
And they bought in the NHS! That has been nothing but trouble - keeping sick people alive long after the should have clocked off. No wonder there is a pension crisis.
And I agree - stop the counselling and molly coddling. Lock them away in the asylums, just as we used to for the soldiers returning from the front with shell shock and traumas. Much better.
Or keep the young mums who can't cope doped up to the eyeballs on valium (mother's little helper) like we did in the 1960s.
You've got to laugh, ain't you?
