Yesterday, in Covent Garden, an opera singer was entertaining the crowds.
On the steps, just below her, a group of school-children were talking, laughing, playing, eating but their teachers made no attempt to either ask them to keep quiet or to sit somewhere else. Disregard for each other is becoming a very noticeable feature of our society. Surely it should be explained to children that if someone is trying to entertain, even if you are not interested in what they are doing you owe them the common courtesy of keeping quiet while they do so? If nobody teaches children these things, how will they grow up to be just normally kind people? It is unkind to behave in that way
This blog is a plea for common sense in public policy. Our leaders don't seem to have any. They just make daft rules for us to follow. We need to assert our right to use our own good sense instead of ticking boxes which can only say 'yes' or 'no'.
