Why not send emails to the Watford council asking them to rescind the order. The weight of public opinion should start making them see sense. At the same time lobby parliament and No. 10.

Of course, I’m sure this whole thing is the work of a small but vocal group of nuts playing the ever-popular “won’t someone think of the children?” card… but at this rate the children are the ones who are going to be harmed. Bringing kids up to see everyone and everything as a threat is not exactly a great recipe for psychological health or social functioning.

So, basically, everyone is to be considered a child molester until proven otherwise? What the hell is wrong with these people? I hope the parents refuse to comply!

Until one of the “play rangers” molests a kid at which point all children will be required to stay at home if they want some exercise.

After all, they are not your children. Instead, they belong to the state.
