Boxing Day, come out fighting, with the the best parts served up cold like a DEFRA turkey sandwich.
DEFRA’s 2019 regulations are a bureaucratic exercise in identifying imaginary problems and coming up with the most inappropriate solutions.
Everyone else faces consequences for their actions.
The CSFG contributed to the destruction of a business sector that they pretended to represent but actually had no knowledge of or connection with.
Now they’re being called out for their collective ignorance, arrogance and idiocy we all know their excuse: They’ll be whining and moaning about the unfairness of being held to account because they thought they’d be protected because they held a special position of privilege.
Having a mature and educated group of rational bureaucrats who understood that harming small businesses does not improve long-term national economic growth or security would have been a great start to 2019.
- DEFRA believes that a lack of financial resources isn’t sufficient reason not to implement their policies. This is because DEFRA bureaucrats don’t consider costs or profits as important. None of the money they waste is theirs and their wages are free from the constraints of having to make a profit before they get paid.
- DEFRA are so beyond any reasonable excuse that they gave local authorities the power to close boarding establishments because the size of a cat pen was a cm smaller than previously accepted. When neither regulation had any basis in science but was touted by DEFRA as an essential animal welfare issue.
- DEFRA has no defence because they put every foolish idea and every mistake in writing and based the enforcement on having a single local authority bureaucrat decipher this nonsense when the only previous role that any licensing officer had was issuing licences.
- DEFRA claim that the regulations were written to improve animal welfare, when virtually nothing in the legislation is focussed on that objective because they prioritised the 5-star system that is entirely opaque to the public and informs no one about the quality of care.
