In 21st Century killjoy Britain balloons are being outlawed. Balloons have been seized from football fans entering Wembley Stadium on the absurd pretense they could spread “panic” if they burst. The Wilsher family brought balloons to hand out to Crystal Palace supporters at a match. Ok – they had 32,000 balloons to hand out for free – but they were still just balloons.
The hapless Wilshers were initially accosted by a Trading Standards Officer who said the balloons “breached the rules”.
Then they were confronted by a jobsworth from Brent Council who said that as this was council land they could not hand out the lethal balloons. They issued the family with a fixed penalty notice over “elf and safety fears”.
Then they were confronted by the head of security for Wembley Stadium who seized the balloons as the stadium’s “safety certificate did not cover balloons” !
Brent Council officers then issued them a fixed penalty notice but refused to tell the Wilshers how much the fine would cost, simply saying “it will be in the post”. These cunts were dressed in black and were recording the family, including their six year old son. The offending boxes of deflated balloons were then seized by the Brent Waffen SS officers. The families 6 year old son was crying by this point.
A council spokesperson confirmed action was taken against Mr Wilsher and added balloons can present a “serious safety risk” when in large quantities. Mr Wilsher said –
“We were just trying to bring some colour, noise and spectacle to the day but that was taken away from us”. No doubt he was feeling a bit deflated.
Surely it’s an Englishman’s god given right to inflate balloons whenever he wants. This absurd episode highlights the joyless, bureaucratic, Elf and Safety nanny state we’ve become. It would be absurdly hilarious if it weren’t so chilling.
Wembley Stadium – deflating and sucking the joy out of every event it hosts. Cunts.
