We are increasingly bogged down with rules and regulations these days. Lawyers and accountants love them. Civil servants spend all their time dreaming them up.

Elf & SAFTY is the excuse for not doing lots of things. Uman Rights is another catch-all for many more infringements. Tax regulations tops them all, with thousands of pages of rules and the threat of prison if you don’t comply.

What if we cut through all this red tape and freed ourselves from all the rules and regulations for a while. Just to see what it’s like. Maybe we could try it for a year.

I don’t mean a lawless society, we could make “COMMON SENSE “ the new order of the day.

The police have already done this to some extent, by not bothering to catch shoplifters and just giving crime numbers to people who have been burgled. That has enabled them to concentrate on more serious crimes, like ‘hate speech’.

SO ! A year without rules could be rather like the Wild West, but preferably without the shooting and lynching. People would need to respect each other’s freedoms and behave kindly towards each other.

Needless to say, there would be a small minority who would take advantage of this situation, but they would get their comeuppance at the end of the year. They could become the bin collectors of the years to come 🤡
