STICK IT!

My regular reader will know that the one thing that gets right up Prespero's nose is people telling him what's good for him. And by extension, that means those who's vocation is to tell people in general what to do or think. So as well as politicians, Health & Safety 'Professionals' and Woman's Hour there's the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). They've just had a go at Mattesons, the meat people about an advertising campaign that asks the punters where they'd like to stick their sausage. And the problem is... what? Well, apparently children who's parents have neglected to tell them they weren't found under a cabbage leaf, might not understand that hide the sausage and stick the sausage are two different things. And thanks to the quango-ASA, they never will. It's like resistance to bacteria - if you disinfect everything, children don't build immunity. If Cameron gets in he says he'll burn the quangos. Don't hold your breath, Prospero predicts that these donkeys are going to be disinfecting us for a few years to come.
