Yes, the dickheads that run this country, I call them that, because that is what they are, plus with the additional overhead of EU regs means we would rather offshore everything to somewhere in the east, where health and safety isn't so much an issue and costs are a lot lower and regulation in gerneral is less.
End result....these other countries get to produce, manufacture and probably design too shortly a product which will probably dominate the future markets. How are we supposed to possibly compete with that? Only if your a massive company that can afford the costs....and they are getting fewer by the day.
Not a chance of cottage industries setting up then. What they forget is that all these big companies were all cottages industries once.
I can see the day when the Govt will be pulling existing kit cars off the road as not having been 'certificated'. What a sad day that will be too.
Health and safety too. When you need to do a risk assessment before you start doing a job and if you don't you can get fined. No such thing as common sense. Or using being able to demonstrate best practices to cover having to keep doing a risk assessment every single time.
Why the hell can't they see that is what is happening. Its a complete shambles what is happening now.
Rant over.
