Wait, so when the brexit mob said that we would get rid of red tape, what they actually meant was that there would be MORE red tape?

I, for one, am shocked.

Tories love red tape really. It's just the fact that it's privatised red tape which makes it sweeter.

The tories are like shelves?

Surely not.

Shelves are useful.

Tories love red tape really. It's just the fact that it's privatised red tape which makes it sweeter.


In my experience, tory initiatives to reduce red tape led to the setting up teams of Civil Servants to find pointless legislation and processes to get rid of. The suggestions, carefully collected and presented to Ministers with explanations of the consequences of sweeping this stuff away.

Ministers then decide not to do any of it.

In the early eighties, maggie appointed Derek Rayner from M&S to look for things to get rid of.

He fastened on DHSS pension books. Each order book had a limit of £50 on the weekly amount. Therefore, if your weekly pension was £50.01 you had two order books, one for £50 pw, and the other for 1p per week. He said this was stupidity.

Then, on the TV programme Nationwide he was confronted with the M&S cheque account that had been recently introduced. You could buy stuff in M&S and pay with one of these credit card cheques.

The maximum amount for a cheque was £50. So if you spent £50.01, you had to write two cheques.

And that was the end of Derek Rayner's anti-red tape drive.

So UK fishermen will win back the rights to UK waters, but destroy their main market, the EU, as well as the UK government ensuring the documentation required will effectively finish off selling fish to the EU. I bet the fishing industry is regretting voting leave now.

EU cannot understand why UK has been holding out for a deal on fishing that would, by definition, destroy our own fishing industry (by closing off its essential export market). It's almost as if Johnson & Co want a No Deal but haven't got the balls to say so!
