Forthcoming EU Red Tape Bonfire
- Thread starter RoadieRoger
- Start date
here is the full list of 9 potential brexit benefits:
1. Encourage fracking, shortcut rules on planning consultation via emergency act.
2. Abolish the EU regulations that restrict vacuum cleaner power to 1400 watts.
3. Remove precautionary principle restrictions (for instance) on early use of experimental treatments for seriously ill patients and GM crops.
4. Abolish rules around the size of vans that need an operator's licence.
5. Abolish EU limits on electrical power levels of electrically assisted pedal cycles.
6. Allow certain medical professionals, such as pharmacists and paramedics, to qualify in three years.
7. Remove requirements for agency workers to have all the attributes of a permanent employee.
8. Simplify the calculation of holiday pay (eg 12.07 percent of pay) to make it easier for businesses to operate.
9. Reduce requirements for businesses to conduct fixed wire testing and portable application testing.

Apart from the Ebike suggestions I forwarded , I am disappointed that Creosote is not in there . Never has there been so many rotten fences and posts since it was banned for sale to the public in small quantities . Water based preservatives are useless from my experience .
Thereby abominably poisoning everything
People will just vacuum for longer, so what's the point in restricting power?
What could possibly go wrong? (Apart from every living thing on the planet becoming grey goo)
Yes they should be driven with much less skill than presently
There's a cargo and people transport revolution right there! Forget that e-scooter idiocy Schapps. About 5kw please...
Those people will do a far better job knowing less.
Back to the old days, when everyone was happy.
I favour 12.08 percent, every little counts.
Increasing the risk of electrical fires can only help the planet - fewer people.
Vote bait for Gammon. Easily recognised by the pineapple ring headgear.
Lots of risks in some of those, apart from anything else getting rid of rules draws attention to things people can get away with that they weren't aware of before. E-scooters for example.
Actually his item 5:
"Abolish EU limits on electrical power levels of electrically assisted pedal cycles."
Is not original, it was in fact an EU measure. A few years ago the EU Parliament, having debated it, recommended it to the EU commission, saying that so long as there is an assist speed limit, the power required should be left to the designer.
The EU commission, 28 ex politicians, one from each member country, rejected the proposal. Once again politicians being our worst enemies.

guerney to answer your question I found the Lidl stuff slightly better than the other much touted preservatives . Don`t fall for the CREOCOTE nonsense , it has the smell but not the lasting quality . Creosote use for Amateurs was banned by the EU in 2003 . Farmers/Professionals can purchase it in 25 Litre minimum quantities for £38.10 plus Vat . To prove you are a Farmer you could purchase a Lamb Castrating Ring on the same Order for £8.99 , it might work .
Guerney said of Woosh's post number 3. Remove precautionary principle restrictions (for instance) on early use of experimental treatments for seriously ill patients and GM crops.
"What could possibly go wrong? (Apart from every living thing on the planet becoming grey goo)"
Sounds good to me, making earth like nearly every other planet, so returning it to astronomical normal from earth's local perversion that is biology.

As far as I am aware, GM gives manufacturers the ability to stop farmers propagate the seeds themselves and force them to continue buying the GM seeds from them.
that's the problem with JRM's list.
JRM is the minister for unleashing brexit benefits but most of the ideas he came up with smell of lobbyism.
My suggestion for him would be to cut red tape on community solar farms (1MW or less) to deal with the high cost of energy.
Do you recall ever lobbying for point 5. on that list?
Given all the interminable furore over Brexit and the fanfare about this impending "Red Tape Bonfire", I'm amused that it's such a tiny list! That's no bonfire, it's barely a candle...

Thank you, I'll try Lidl's "Creosote" on my shed... it's a bit late TBH, but after it's applied I'll patch where my foot went through rotting boards. I'll send the castration ring to Boris Johnson.
Is that it?
I think the pro-Brexit Sun readers* and Rees-Mogg have laid bare the vast breadth of their own stupidity and small-mindedness.
Where's the big picture? The real benefits? Let's hear them.
