Don't you just love socialism? The almighty European Union is now legislating the height of children's swing sets, reports The Sun (UK). Naturally, this has resulted in the closure of many children's swing sets.

A VILLAGE had to get rid of its playground swings because Euro rules say they are too TALL.

The three swings were erected more than 25 years ago.
Kids playing on them have suffered nothing worse than a grazed knee ever since.

But now Brussels bureaucrats have introduced a new maximum height order for swings throughout the UK.

Don't you just love bureaucracy. The EU, helping make Europe a better place by pushing children off of swing sets.
