The health and safety police are at it again. On Monday morning I stood electrified, toothpaste teetering on the brush, as a fireman described on the radio how he had begged permission from his senior officer to rescue a drowning woman. Under health and safety rules, the officer had to tell him not to. It was only at the third time of asking, when she was clearly losing consciousness, that both men let their instincts override the rules. The fireman bravely jumped in to save her, only just in time.
