Too Much PC?
.
Has political correctness gone too far?



There is now a £10bn a year compensation culture here in the UK. Schools are cutting back on excursions, councils are filling in ponds and even our police are having to change their approach to doing their job all because of threat of legal action brought about by the EU's Human Rights Act.

Conservatives will 'change the culture' of Government in order to turn back the tide of political correctness.

Conservative measures include:

1

A review of the Human Rights Act which is being roundly abused.

2
A consultation on how the Children Act is working in practice to restore the balance of power between parents and bureaucrats.
3
A freeze on civil service recruitment meaning that there will be 'fewer bureaucrats to push out regulations.
4
The implementation of 'sunset clauses' for many regulations to ensure that only those 'that are clearly necessary will survive.
5
Measures to protect teachers and return to them control of the classroom.

Conservatives support doctors, teachers, nurses, policemen and the ordinary man and woman on the street. We will say to them, we agree with you. Enough is enough. You should be free to lead your lives as you see fit. We will only intervene when the need to do so is clear and necessary.

We will end the culture of regulation, interference and centralization which is destroying our sense of community. Once again, government will serve the people. It will no longer be its master'.

Conservatives believe in less -
not more regulation
