To much government interference in our lives!

So Labour's candidate for Rochdale Simon Danzuk wants to back his minister Gerry Sutcliffe’s call to introduce boxing classes into schools sports curriculum because he states: “Tackling anti social behaviour, teaching children respect and making our streets safer must remain a high priority, as we cannot let our communities be ruined by these people, All options must be considered to make our children learn, respect restraint and discipline”
Just who does he think he is kidding? If a child wants to learn boxing then do as those children and their parents do after school hours and join a club - karate, ju jitsu, kick boxing, football, dancing, etc it’s called family quality time!
If schools want to do it then to benefit all children introduce it to after school clubs so that all children have an equal chance, and most important choice!
This government is also bringing back cookery classes - who took it away in the first place I wonder?
What will they think of next? Could we see woodwork and needlecraft being re-introduced, as they should be? These were important basic life skills yet again taken out of the curriculum by this government.
One wonders what other lessons they have taken away over the years, which has proven a huge mistake.
Far too much government interference has destroyed our children’s education and our health.
