RE: Is Common Sense Dead? - 5 Year Old Girl Fined £150 for Lemonade Stand

in #law7 years ago

Oh, now we can take a breath! Justice has been served.
I can't even imagine what would happen if that despicable evil child would give someone a lemonade. Everyone knows that the scariest thing about lemonade is a lemon!
Oh well... this sick world. Common sense is now officially dead.

Sort:  

Yes we are all safe now!

Maybe i am such a firecracker in entrepreneurism because I didn't get stopped selling cherries when I was small. The rule comes as far as I know from too many poisonings in the past. It makes sense to me because you cannot walk around with a laboratory all the time to check everything. Children should be allowed to do that and for older people I find it better to send companies out to test the lemonade and once you get caught with poison in it you cannot sell for 10 years or so edit: instead of a licence, fuck off gov..

Yes but if they really wanted to prevent food poisoning they would actually be testing rather than handing out fines.
