A thank you to Brexiteers.

2, 6 and 9 are arguable. Though it's the Tories, so would likely be implemented in such a manner.
2 = noisier, less efficient vacuum cleaners, plus on the off-chance anyone makes a vacuum for the UK market, they won't be able to sell it in europe
6 = increased risk of medical errors.
9 = increased risk of electrical faults, including chance of fires.
 
The ebike ruling is completely and utterly worthless. If I remember correctly anything over 15mph requires a motorbike license and insurance in the UK. Of course that doesn't stop people powering about on all sorts of electrical wheels but the fact they put that in there as a win shows how pathetic that list is.

None of those (aside from potentially not being able to sell certain hoovers in Europe) are necessary causes of any of those things unless you add a bunch of assumptions.

Are you muddling cause and effect?

For a country still coming to terms with a horrendous electrical fire, I'd suggest the last thing we should be doing is reducing the need for testing of electrical appliances. I'd have thought we actually need more of it.

Which particular electrical fire are you talking about?

If you mean Grenfell, then PAT testing wouldn't seem relevant.
 
anyhow that list is just load more stupid noise, it is not a list of things that are happening or even intended to happen or draft legislation or back of a beermat or anything, its just the latest attempt at 'we could do all this IF we wanted to now, cos freedom'.
Given that, it's even more laughably shit as an 'interesting ideas' list.
 
To be fair to jrm, Urban had a thread for compiling the benefits of the great heave-ho, and I don't think we came up with any of those.
True. They should have made me The Minister for Brexit Opportunities though, would have achieved about the same as he has in the past year.
 
Just tried to find out what goes on in the Ministry For Brexit Opportunities and learned only that this job, to head up the show, for £120,000 a year, was only just filled last month.
Yup, I start in two weeks . Working from home.
 
Waitrose, the Remainers supermarket of choice, is now a battle ground for Boris Johnson


Co-op is the most Remain supermarket, according to YouGov - the most Remain supermarket is a Co-op in Lambeth, while the most Brexity is an Iceland in Boston.

"With a customer base of 52% Leave voters and 48% Remain voters, Lidl’s customer base is closest to that of the voting public"

There is a reference one of the women makes toward the end about "Waitrose man".
I've no idea what she's going on about.

"She questions the term “Waitrose woman”, adding: “It could be a Waitrose man, the way the future’s going. Maybe that’s what he should be thinking about.”
 
I think I've seen "Waitrose woman" as being important to Johsnon as a target group. Not sure that helps though.

One of the other women makes a very good point that maybe he should be less concerned with "Waitrose woman" and more concerned with people using food banks who cannot afford to heat their homes.
