The welfare state is unsustainable economically, socially and morally.

Nasty nosey-Parker narks
How does a story like this get into the newspapers? In fact, I am not going to repeat it. Suffice to say some individuals personify the worst aspects of this meddling government. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

Isn't it extraordinary. Reminds me of the time (20 yrs ago, ye Gods) when I was a Nanny in northern California. Took the two kids swimming with me (private country club), aged 3 & 5. Quietly & quickly dried & dressed them pool-side afterward, rather than lug all the stuff into the changing rooms .. no fuss & besides, I didn't think anybody saw amid all the tables, umbrellas, chairs, etc. I did this every day. Thought nothing of it. We were so discreet amidst the noise & activity of a busy pool.
Turns out somebody did see & objected. Didn't say anything to me directly, of course, (gutless wonders), but to the couple I worked for .. who told them to grow up and mind their own business.
Good job. But I was stunned that somebody would make a fuss over two little kids hopping out of wet togs into dry clothes.
