Eddie_George Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Calls have been made for the compulsory state registration of hairdressers to protect people from "unscrupulous" and "incompetent" traders. Llanelli MP Nia Griffith is expected to raise the issue in a parliamentary debate on Wednesday. Ms Griffith said she was "quite shocked" hairdressers do not need any qualifications. If this goes through and Landlords and Estate Agents are not regulated, then I will be very angry to say the leaast http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-30703465 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill D'arblay Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Salons have 'rented out chairs' for years to avoid their legal employment responsibilities. HMRC turned a blind eye and went after IT contractors instead - many of whom were far less 'employed' than hairdressers. Prepare for lots of media stories in 3 years time bleating about a hairdressing 'skills shortage' and then no-one in your salon being able to speak good english.

interestrateripoff Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 So you have a bad hair maybe for a few weeks and then go somewhere else. Farcical regulation which will do nothing other than generate needless bureaucracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree.....people will sometimes react adversely and have an allergic reaction to certain chemicals, even doctors make innocent mistakes......there will always be risks in life...that's life....or wrap yourself in cotton wool and never venture out the door.

goldbug9999 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Typical labour pouncing on a non-problem and solving it with ... wait for it ... more regulation.

The fact it's a problem that doesn't need solving as you simply would not go back is beyond them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the cheapest haircuts I've seen have been in London. Can't comment on the quality, but the competition keeps the prices down.

oracle Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) If this goes through and Landlords and Estate Agents are not regulated, then I will be very angry to say the least http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-30703465 following on from the deflation thread....THIS is why we have deflation. over-regulation and micromanagement stifles business. no business, no earnings, no spendings, economy goes down the toilet. there are two choices now. choice 1) those pulling the levers of power back off and let people spend and invest how THEY see fit, we get a bit of growth back.-that means getting the TOTAL tax take fo standard rate individuals back to something under 30% by that I mean income tax/NI/VAT/Council tax. and also getting rid of pointless social engineering programmes. presently it's something like 50-60% choice 2) carry on regardless, and when the whole lot goes down the sh1tter pretend it wasn't your fault, and employ goon squads of brownshirts and propaganda specialists to physically and psychologically fordce the point home the IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT...(see nazi germany/soviet russia for examples of the sort of society it will become) ...and anyone with a bit of wealth/business/sanity will depart these shores and it ends up a viscious death-spiral.

pipllman Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) This is a good example of why there should be fewer MPs: keep them busy with proper work and leave them no time to interfere where their interference is not wanted, not needed and more likely to do harm than good Nia Griffith is an idiot of the very first order I have tweeted her, resisting the temptation to say something like 'if I had been on the receiving end of a haircut like yours, I would be calling for more regulation of hairdressers too' with @NiaGriffithMP Please use your elected office for more important matters than creating additional red tape for hairdressers. Please! Edited January 7, 2015 by pipllman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernoid Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 A flagship policy from a labour positive discrimination recruit, hilarious. Reminds me of one of their budget speeches whilst in power where the chancellor spent much of speech talking about plastic bags. They're not actually going to get in again are they? are they?
