British Bureauweenies Ban Plastic Flowers in Cemetery

It's getting harder every day, but nanny state Nazis continue to find new things to ban to keep British subjects safe. The latest:
Grieving families have been told not to put plastic flowers in a garden of remembrance because they pose a health and safety risk.
We are asked to believe that plastic flowers are too dangerous to leave in a cemetery because, according to a council spokeswoman, they could get caught up in lawnmowers, and "the bits of plastic flying around could be very dangerous."
Too bad for the Nazis they didn't think of dropping bits of plastic flowers during the Blitz, instead of bombs. Evidently the British would have surrendered.
Maybe the bureauweenies should make it easy on themselves. Instead of painstakingly forbidding one thing at a time, they could make a short list of what's allowed. But then, that would be putting themselves out of work.
On a tip from Rob Banks.
