into tears and said "I've done a bad thing"
after council officers slapped her with the fine.]

A genuine case of pc gone mad.

Why? She wasn't the one fined. Plus there are health and safely laws about food and drink. Surely we can't pick and choose which ones we will abide by.

Ah so it's only specific laws that are political correctness gone mad.. Which ones?

If it was enforceable why was it revoked?...

I don't think most health and safety laws are PC. They are obviously there for valid reasons.

PC pressure probably. If there was something wrong with the lemonade and someone got sick from it who would be accountable? Of course that seems unlikely, but what if?

[Kizzy]

Or..... there was no warning issued before the fine.

I don't know what the normal procedure is in cases like that but in my opinion the child is being used as a distraction and to make a point. The fine and anything else associated with it was for the parents/guardian, not the child.

Are people really going 'RULES ARE THERE TO PROTECT PEOPLE I SUPPORT THE COUNCIL!!!1'
Well yes, but there's something called calmly warning a five year old girl that she isn't supposed to be doing this, not slapping her with an £150 fine and traumatising her

The fine wasn't given to the child - what part of that don't people get. It's just a headline.

Be that as it may they can warn people instead ****ing giving them a big expense to pay
It's been reversed now so they obviously see that they've done something wrong anyhoo :hee:

What about in this case.
Do you think this academic was subsidising his tutoring by selling lemonade outside his front door?

The Down Under DAD
was just live on GMBHD itv
7:40AM.

She charged 50pence for a cup
£1 for a Large.
Her Corrupt dad said she made £30 - £40


He told his 5 year old
Daddy was silly he did not
look into the Legal side.

Because of his Daily Telegraph
letter - The Council has said
no Fine.


The PATHETIC Dad is a lawyer

[arista]

For Me I would Fine that Dad
£2,000
and tell the little girl to stop crying.

And Make Sure Everyone bought a License
to sell anything on the street.


I mean what if her Drink made someone SICK?

T* her Dad was standing near her
its his plan
to make cash using his Daughter.

He is not English
he is from Down Under

[arista]

It's been reversed now


Yes and DADDY did it Wrong
he told the 5 YEAR OLD daughter.


FACT

[Livia]

If a five year old girl set up her own lemonade stand, she deserves a place at some kind of genius school.

[Babayaro.]

Good.

[Babayaro.]

Yes and DADDY did it Wrong

Nope it's nothing to do with that all schools and local areas have fetes with all manner of homemade goods for sale.....next.

The Dad set this up outside a Concert going on
Kizzy.

He used his 5 year old to flog his cheap Drink
Massive Profit.

Jesus Christ, Arista chill out. Your posts recently are becoming more and more unbearable.

Would you like a nice glass of ice cold lemonade?...Only £10. ;)

I would buy it from you Kizzy.
I am sure it would be a Pure safe mix.

[Kizzy]

Oh no I'd make it to a strict 5yr olds recipe, 2 hairs, 1 bogey and served in the cup a dog peed on. :hee:

No thanks

[jaxie]

I think Arista is probably right. The dad set this up and cynically used his daughter to make money and try to avoid fines. I very much doubt it was all the 5 year olds idea.
