Raithe Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Part of the trouble is, people in the emergency services have actually lost their jobs for ignoring health and safety. It's yeah, pretty damn ludicrous. And one of the reasons the mentioned "common sense" law was brought in. But the mix of health and safety regulations brought on by the various governments of the previous decades (and from Brussels and the EU), combined with civil lawsuits thrown at emergency responders for some downright silly reasons.. Can make folks extremely hesitant in situations like this. It's just crazy. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, 'cept nobody follows the Brussels regulations more obsessively than the Finns, and our rescuers can pull people out of the water just fine. This obsession with water "safety" seems to be an entirely British phenomenon, I've run to it before. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Walsingham Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Charlie Brooker talking about the Kony 2012 con. LOL. Well that's comprehensively ruined the campaign for me.
