The ban on fun
2017-02-18
[DAWN] WHEN we are being hit by a wave of terrorist attacks, what does the government do?

Why, send the cops chasing after kite-flying kids and enforcing the ban on Valentine’s Day, of course. Never mind that we are a laughing stock around the world, with cartoons showing armed coppers grabbing red balloons with hearts painted on them.

You’d think with so much death and destruction caused by jihadists, our judges and police force would have their hands full. But never let it be said that we don’t have our priorities right: clearly, the danger from young men and women giving each other chocolates and Valentine’s cards is far greater than that posed by vicious killers.
