So, is this the moment to re-launch the campaign to remove the ridiculous
Part P and other ridiculous restrictions on really and totally free trade and growth that the country needs?
All that Part P requires is that reasonable provision shall be made in the design and installation of electrical installations in order to protect persons operating, maintaining or altering the installations from fire or injury.
Would you please explain why you think that it's ridiculous that the work people do on electrical installations in homes should be required to be reasonably safe?
And would you please explain why you think that allowing people to do dangerous electrical work would assist the growth that the country needs.
In both cases, reasoned arguments would be useful, along with a quantisation of costs and benefits which are both credible and supported by independent analyses carried out by people or organisations with respected and relevant expertise.
You should be able to do that, surely? Unless, of course, what you've posted here are just the ravings of an ignorant fool who is severely hard of thinking.
Just as we must reject the ability of the Bankers to rip us off, why not move to reduce the profiteering claims of other self-promoting groups.
You can reject all you like.
I'd like to reject your ability to clog up this forum with your stupid ramblings, but I don't suppose my desire will have any more practical effect than your desire to reject the ability of bankers to rip us off.
Now is the time to push back on the years of Labour severely over-regulation.
Would you be interested in the fact that the process which led to the idea of Part P, and the consultation document for it being issued, kicked off in response to the Construction Industry Deregulation Task Force’s 1995 report which recommended amongst other things that the Building Regulations should address electrical safety and that the administrative burden on builders should be rationalised? And that the Government at the time (led by a chap called Major, who was not, I believe, a Labour politician) responded to these recommendations by agreeing to review the case for new requirements and how they might best be practically introduced?
No, I thought not.
The issue is that this country is held back by vested interests: Bankers Oxbridge etc.
That's a well though out, cohesive, and convincingly made case for an alternative economic system. I salute you.
But the truth is that we are held back by web of other interests & trivial rules:.
Examples:
1: Recent house purchase forms for a friend "Was everything inspected post 2002 (or whatever), were any electrics done after... etc etc.."
"2002 (or whatever)".
That says it all.
You have so little intellectual ability that you neither know, nor care, nor even realise that you don't know, about the things you are bleating about here.
2: Who looks at energy surveys if they want the house, 'cos fixing it cost pennies compared with the cost of the house itself!
Being in the middle of such an issue right now I can assure you that fixing the U-values of non-cavity 9" brick walls does not cost pennies.
3. Rip-off contractors who insist on scaffolding to do jobs, quoting H&S while being in collusion with scaffolding Cos to rip of innocents.
Is that somehow related to Part P and banking, or have the cogs slipped again in what is supposed to pass for (but doesn't come anywhere near) your brain?
Dear god I hope not.
The protection of the crooks in the City of London must go and the laws passed by Blair and his cronies must be repealed too.
What,
all of them?
I assume that you can provide a complete list of all the laws, and for each one you can put up a rational and intelligent argument for why it must be repealed. That would be a reasonable thing to ask of someone making a post like yours, but I wonder if I am wrong to expect you to be capable of reasonable behaviour.
Am I wrong to assume that you can provide a complete list, etc?
Should I instead assume that you are an utter ***t?
Bliar & Brown loved protection of their mates....... Now is the time to end all these scams!
Herstman
Would asking for a list of such scams, accompanied by a cogent explanation of why each one is a scam, produce a worthwhile response from you?
Or are you just a waste of space?
