Great news, I'm loving this new government's approach to sweeping away the endless crappy and pointless laws that Labour brought in. :D
 
Good, and actually, I don't spare a thought for the countless number of people who chose to jump on the bandwagon, retrain and then rape hundreds of people for ludicrous fees just to produce a piece of paper.
 
Man I wish they got rid of this before I sold my flat. It was a complete waste of time and money. Well at leasts thats what I found. Could this affect peoples jobs who working doing HIPs?

The broken window fallacy is where you hype the benefits to party A without acknowledging the costs to party B.

To simplify the example on that page.

Bob has a window broken, which creates work for a glazier.

You commit the broken window fallacy when you assume that broken windows are good because they create work for the glazier, without considering that Bob has to spend the money to fix it which means he has less to spend elsewhere, so overall, the effect of the change is not positive, it moves money around, rather than creating more.
 
A bodged together law that did not achieve anything hopefully on its way out. Either they should have used the scottish model of adding surveys or never done them at all.

Wonder how long the hunting ban will be in place - another bodged job that does not achieve anything from either side. Repeal or put a workable law in place.
