In some ways it feels like beating a puppy .......... but I do have to say something. The HSE set up a myth busters panel a year or so back of the great and good to comment on the raft of "elf and safety stories" doing the rounds. It all sounds like a good idea but given in general you can look at the stories and sum up the response in a phrase involving sex and travel quite why it needs a panel of the great and good to state the obvious is beyond me.
Its just an expensive way of getting to they're an idiot - except at no point does anyone say someone was an over zealous muppet with no brains and a clip board. Or maybe that's why I never get asked for an opinion.

I know its well meant - but equally if you want to manage the press and their portrayal of health and safety the rather nice but dull output here is never going to make more than a paragraph near the end of the article. Come on I know the HSE are never going to say "which idiot came up with that" (now that would get a headline) but they really need to learn how the world and the press work.
