If there be nothing new, but that which is Hath been before, how are our brains beguil'd, Which labouring for invention bear amiss The second burthen of a former child. Oh that record...
Cheers Thorny – I tried to express ‘old’ thoughts in a way which may make some ‘sense of the nonsense’ – probably in vain; but unless the message is constantly delivered, in simple language that even the likes of McDonowt can understand – not only is the industry doomed to constant increased cost which in no way improves ‘safety’; but, IMO the cost of ‘compliance’ steals time, effort and funds away from real improvement.
This is not a ‘new’ notion. In 2005 Shane Urquhart has – THIS – to say.
But, for sheer brilliance, in a nutshell – take the few moments it needs to read - THIS. It is a PDF so it needs a download.
What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
Not even the known killers have been addressed – let alone the quiet, sneaky, unexpected ones. The real risk lays within the regulator’s concept is what, precisely – “safety” is. As it stands – it is an expensive protection racket to cover the sorry rear ends of politicians who just don’t want any responsibility, but every ounce of kudos they can muster to promote their inflated sense of ‘Self worth’. Do you know, some of ‘em actually think they matter? Remarkable concept ain’t it.
I can wait to see who the next rubber stamp idiot minister will be; then I shall win my modest wager placed in “K’s” book of shame about the result. “No Change” @ 5 to one - odds on, my money is as safe as recession looming.
“No dear heart – I know, I’m standing alone but -two more of the same was and remains the order; thank you”.
