Council chiefs at a council in Cornwall have been branded “totally bonkers” for cutting down 1,000 daffodils in a children’s play park over health and safety fears.
St Blaise Town Council in Cornwall said the iconic springtime flowers can be toxic to children if they eat them.
Rattus has tried eating daffodils and they are not nice at all.
Health and Safety has its place. The Government missed completely that the cladding on the Grenfell flats in London and many other places was unsafe and many people died.
However common sense should prevail.

Most people are very bad at risk assessments. Rattus is very good at it. He is constantly avoiding traps and poisoned bait and has so far survived.
There is a finite risk that he will be killed by a falling meteorite but he never even thinks about it.
Our elected representatives and their staff should be sensible, thoughtful and well educated.
They should not be in the pay of external vested interests or have received donations from dodgy Russians.
They should fight for their constituents and represent them properly.
However if people don’t vote or believe the rubbish that is printed in the gutter press then they will get the governance they deserve.
Most Russians think Putin is a hero freeing Ukraine from Nazi domination.
They believe the rubbish that they are fed on state TV.
Are Britons any different?
