I am a law-abider, Karen, but I can and will exercise my right to express my opinion about laws which are ill thought through, do not address the original problem and/or cause more of a problem than they set out to solve.
So far in my experience, any regulation originating in Defra is more than likely to be all of the above. It makes me seethe because (a) when the regs are stupid, more people will avoid / evade them, which is usually worse than having no reg at all, (b) it is not harder, indeed it is usually easier, to implement good regulations which offer some benefit to all those affected, and (c) Defra treat farmers with the utmost contempt, are dismissive and rude when we question them during their so-called 'consultations' and yet continue to implement rule after rule after rule which fail to solve any problem properly, all of which cause disruption and cost them and us money.
