Tales Of Stupidity Come In Twos

Written by , Posted in The Nanny State & A Regulated Society

This story from Britain is almost identical to the one I highlighted yesterday:

The Thames Valley Police detectives – who gave birth within a few months of each other – share a job at Aylesbury Police Station in Buckinghamshire.

But the mothers, both 32, have now been told by Ofsted that surveillance teams will spy on their homes to make sure they are not continuing to care for each other’s daughter.

For the past two-and-a-half years, one looked after both of the girls while the other worked a ten-hour shift. Both worked two days a week.

But in July, after a complaint believed to be from a neighbour, DC Shepherd received a surprise visit from an Ofsted inspector, who accused her of running an ‘illegal childminding business’.

Rules state that friends cannot gain a ‘reward’ by looking after a child for more than two hours outside the child’s home unless they register with Ofsted and follow the same regulations as normal childminders.

That America is mimicking Britain in moonbattery is truly frightening given the frequency of outrageous stories I see from across the pond.  Britain is literally collapsing under the weight of its own bureaucracy and excessive, multicultural induced masochism.

America seems determined to follow Britain down the path of big government self-destruction.
