 Science Rescues Children From Social Workers Masquerading As Obesity Police

SOCIAL WORKERS have been told to think again about putting overweight children on “at risk” registers after scientists found that 

obesity can be linked to a genetic defect. In the past three years dozens of parents in Britain have been accused of abusing their 

children through “overfeeding”, with some youngsters being taken into care. In one of the most extreme cases, in October, social 

workers went to a maternity ward in Dundee to remove a baby born 28 hours earlier. The research, by Cambridge University, 

suggests many parents have been wrongly accused and that the problem lies in the children’s chromosomes.
Jonathan Leake, The Sunday Times

 

There has been a gross acceleration of social services and local authority gauleiters under the Blair/Brown governments.  Each of 

them stuffed full with the conviction in their own self-importance.   All of them have been given authority to enter our homes, stasi-fashion 

to ensure that we are obeying the latest commands from Chairman Brown - and there have been many such commands.

 

The gauleiters (apologies for the mixed metaphor) are to be found in civilian dress in the pubs and bars of this country to ensure that

visitors don't smoke; they are to be found as refuse collectors issuing on-the-spot fines for trumped up charges of too much or too

little in whichever of five different bins; they are even seen following dog-walkers lest the pet poo's on the path; stasi members from 

the council can enter a home to be sure that too many people do not live there - and so it goes on.

 

The obesity police mentioned above are just one group of social workers who seek to remove children from parents at what seems 

to be any opportunity.

 

There is no doubt in this editor's mind that the Blair/Brown governments have been the most delibertely socially destructive regimes since 

Cromwell.   It will be with an enormous sigh of relief that we will wish them a dismal retirement should any other party win the forthcoming 

general election.

 

In the meantime, with luck, we may see Blair arraigned for war crimes.
