If you want to know what the future would be like if Liberals could
give America an extreme makeover look no further than the UK. They are
a few years ahead of the curve on multicultural, politically correct
nonsense. Read this and see if you can imagine hearing this idiocy
spilling out of the mouth of some limp-wristed Democrat politician:
Bristol City Council is urging people to leave
their sheds open because padlocks could lead to thieves forcing their
way through doors and windows of the council-owned sheds to steal
garden equipment.
The council said that its new initiative could save taxpayers' money because fewer sheds would have to be repaired or replaced.
"Don't padlock your shed; it can save the shed being damaged if someone
does try to get into it. If there is a break-in, always inform the
police," the Telegraph quoted its guide as reading.
A spokesman said: "Where sheds have been repeatedly broken into, our
advice, and it is only advice, is not to padlock them as forced entry
often results in the doors being jemmied off. The city council takes
security at the site seriously and this year has improved fencing."
He admitted that leaving the sheds unlocked could leave expensive equipment uninsured.
He said: "It would be a matter for discussion between the
allotment-holder and their insurance company which would be able to
advise them on the conditions of their policy."
Notice that they did not say one word about law
enforcement. It boils down to this: Liberals want you to surrender to
criminals to save money.
