Cambridge Batch Red Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 we live in a litigious society - who will insure the state against claims if it goes around fitting second hand electrical equipment into vulnerable people's houses? what will happen to the warrenty on the stairs? what if some gran shoots up the stairs like in that film 'gremlins'?

Esmond Million's Bung Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 we live in a litigious society - who will insure the state against claims if it goes around fitting second hand electrical equipment into vulnerable people's houses? what will happen to the warrenty on the stairs? what if some gran shoots up the stairs like in that film 'gremlins'? Yes I am aware of this, sadly the legal gravy train supported by hordes of failed solicitors and barristers in parliament and greedily and endlessly squeezed by the ambulance chasing legal profession, has managed to convince the 'litigious society' that 'where there's blame, there's a claim', but has forgotten that sometimes in life shit happens.

Barrs Court Red Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Blame Nu Labour and its obsession with regulation. Common sense went out the window, along with financial prudence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambridge Batch Red Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I think it was the Tories that deregulated the legal system leading to no win no fee and this ambulance chasing american style system. They certainly scrapped crown immunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I have grave doubts about the direction in which the EU is moving. However, the more I see of UKIP, the more I am convinced that it's the Tory-but-more-so Party. Thanks, but no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Most people accept the need for and accept taxation. What makes our blood boil is just how much of this hard earned dosh gets wasted. I recon over 1/2 of my tax is p****d up against the wall by one government / council dept or another. 'Criminal'.
