GB, I find your arguments compelling, and will be writing to the Department of Transport demanding that they stop this stupid driving licence nonsense. It is a clear restriction on people's personal freedom. I once new a young tearaway who always told people he could drive (and frequently did) but added the rider, "I don't have a licence like". And look at these people having accidents when they do have licences. After that, I will be writing to the HSE demanding that anyone should be allowed to work on gas appliances. So long as they think they are competent that should be fine. No more sheckles in the pockets of Gas Safe after that.
I see a whole new vista opening up after that. Disband UKAS, as they are a UK monopoly. (and why is there only ONE monopolies and mergers commission if they are so against monopolies?) Why should accredited CBs have any preference. I could get my ISO 9001 from a whole lot of unaccredited CBs, to whom you just pay your money send off your quality manual and you get certification. None of this red tape visits to my premises checking files and such like beaurocracy.
And when Davey takes us out of Europe, we can get rid of the CPR. Why should manufacturers have construction products tested at huge expense by a Notified Body, just so you and Mrs GB can be safe at home. All they are doing is costing you money for more expensive products when you go down to Wicks to build a playroom for the wee GBs.
Yep, the Sheriff got it wrong. Anyone should have been allowed to carry out the FRA for Rosepark. I will be contacting the IFE and the FIA in the morning, advising them to withdraw their current moral support for this motion at Holyrood, and its restriction to trade. In fact, I will demand that the IFE register immediately the 50% or so of applicants who failed to be registered. (Statistical fact.)
Then I will wake up and smell the coffee.
