something sensible at long last
We can but hope.......probably too late...
most of these laws were not really about health and safety...largely a common sense issue...but overbearing government interference demanding that most of the day is taken up form filling....most of it being nanny state nonsense.
Great for lawyers and the whip lash claimants culture if you haven't filled in your forms.
No body cares that the check was carried out so long as the form was signed to say it has been .
We had to have door closers fitted....so the doors could hit you in the back and knock hot tea out of your hands.
I completely agree with the Prime Minister and agree with what he / they are setting out to change. I speak as a small businessman in the construction industry with 40 years experience. Those who are apposing these changes, do so only because they fear they will have less room to manufacture gains for themselves. In particular the Lawers should be "struck off " from their policy of Fear Mungering and then making a fortune out of their apalling "service" to the comunity.
Without Lawyers and Insurance companys, this Country could become solvent overnight.

Yes, let's get rid of this nonsense, and while we're at it let's get rid of that senseless regulation which stops us sending perfectly capable children up chimneys. After all, those were the days when this country could run an empire.
"Nanny state": this phrase always perplexes me - my Nanny was an old woman who lived in a dark victorian house; she showed little interest in me and, to be honest, I found her a little bit scary. That does describe the state as I know it but doesn't seem to be what others are referring to.
I once saved a man from drowning.
what did you do ?
I took my foot off his head.
perhaps you are right.....outsourcing to India and the like is the future...we have tax credits and Tescos to spend them in, so will be ok.....and the credit card is only just on its limit so no need to worry yet.
I had to laugh when a man dressed up as a spartan (spartan run) could not pose for a photo because his imitation spear was classed as a live weapon....
It has got out of hand !
Bungee jumping over the Zambesi ? wonder if the fact that Crocs don't feed in January was on their risk assessment. Or whether the Jumper thought it was all without risk having been brought up believing that even the dangerous looking was safe so stuck her head in the oven just like all the others.
