This so reminds me of Brexiteers parroting (without evidence) that all EU rules are bad and should be scrapped. In reality they are almost all good and scrapping them would only benefit unscrupulous and greedy business owners. Unscrupulous & greedy... now isn't that the two main characteristics of right wing politicians? What a coincidence!
Yes, we didn’t have all the sewage in our rivers and sea while we were in EU, water companies must’ve been gleeful when we came out.
The response was always "Which rules?" To which they'd respond either with a blank stare or "Straight bananas".
"Everyone loves the fireman, yet everyone loathes the fire safety inspector."
Oh sweet lord, it's like listening to every minister since 1983! I was a civil service in the Dti (among other ones) where most of what we seemed to do is cost/benefit analysis on this like getting rid of red tape and draft minutes to the ministers explaining the impact. Argh! 😱
Red tape is red because its soaked in the blood of previous disaster.
😂😂😂 yeah right 😂😂😂
True.
@@TheHoliday2012Literally, yes it is.
Every sign you see saying, "Don't do that." is there because someone did exactly that and either died or was seriously injured.
Well, there's an evocative image I didn't expect under a satirical sketch.
@@kevintyerman1906 Comedy is serious.
Freedom is experienced differently by the powerful and the disempowered.
Don’t fall for charlatans, folks!
Yep. Freedom for the powerful is often the freedom to exploit and abuse the disempowered. Freedom for the disempowered is freedom from that exploitation and abuse.
So many people out there who voted time after time to 'get rid of red tape' and voted for getting rid of all sorts of licensing and regulation inspectors.
The same people who are reading the Tory Press and going "Shame, shame. Thoughts and prayers"
They enabled the whole thing, they should look very hard at themselves for voting for greed.
I'm old enough to remember Tories whining and moaning about unions making jobs more difficult because they wanted 'safety standards' for their members. Fast forward to Thatcher and every Tory government since and now you can't go up a ladder for more than 4ft without a risk assessment and then having scaffold erected. Difference? Health and safety is big 'private' business now. Tory mates have shares in companies raking it in.
Tax/Regulations "No one ever makes a positive case for them but everytime they're cut vulnerable people suffer" Painfully true.
The end got clipped
"..that you know about"
Sums up Cameron and Westminster City Council quite well
And Pickles
Whenever I hear anti-H&S rhetoric I'm reminded when we got an extra 1% bonus at the company I worked for at the time because no one had died (on the job) that year...
"That was ONE time! Why keep going on about it"?
Love it Matt! Humans caught in the stupid rhetoric loop is funny when you do it, thank you!!! 😆
"That was one time" hahahaha
Common sense would be lots of arrests now and trials later. Convert a dangerously cladded building into a prison.
"That was one time"
🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely, positively spot on!
Priceless - thank you Matt.
I forgot that it wasn't 2 different people after watching the violent bit. Found myself imagining how he'd done it :D
Very expensive SFX
@@MattGreenComedy I thought you'd brought your brother Jonathan in to help :)
I can't believe that the insulation supplier's share price is still higher than Nadine Dorries's IQ.
So we'll said Matt.
Biggest joke: "Common sense"😂 no not by a bit😂
If you had a market stall selling "common sense" you would never make a profit. The minority who have it don't need to buy it and the rest of us who think we have it already, won't buy it.
Utterly brilliant.
Chestertons fence, if you pull the fence down, you first got to know why it was there in the first place. No one builds fences for no reason. It can be a bad reason but you need to know its a bad reason.
Red tape may be irritating at times but it’s there because of lessons learned previously.
Regulation is there to stop the unscrupulous risking other people lives.
On point, MG.
"That was one time!" 😂
When it's cheaper to pay the unlikely fine than it is to the job right and protect lives. Capitalist profit motive at its finest.
Good timing. Grenfell, of course. But Trump's reduction of deli meat regulations left 57 in hospital, with 9 deaths.
I mean... it was only that one time! Give him a break!
You know, like he gave all those people that one time!
Wow! So cleverly put together!!
Perhaps if we were rid of the red tape surrounding people who would make a bonfire of red tape people would still be alive and families not torn apart.
There are ALWAYS unscrupulous people who have no problem with endangering the lives or well-being of other people. These will continue to be a problem. Red tape does not stop them. But most red tape is the embodiment of lessons learned the hard way.
Spot on!
Haven't followed new in a while, and I shudder at the thought that you've taken inspiration from something an elected representative put forth.
So many people to choose from…
This was a government rule during the coalition.
I imagine it worked really well for a year or two, and then they started running out of daft regulations.
It reminds me of that policy some companies have to fire the worst performing 10% of employees every year. First year they implement this policy, it goes amazingly and gets rid of loads of useless people. Second year there are some good people lost as well. Third year it really starts to cut into great workers, and by year 5 people are hiring sacrificial lambs just to save their own necks.
One red tape that I am all for is the one covering the size of steel cables to be used on passenger lifts. Can you imagine how many would be dead by now if builders were allowed to use any old bit of wire they had to hand?
This logic can of course be applied to almost any regulation you care to mention. 😂
They never mean "like that," do they?
I love how his defence isn't "I didn't do it, that's a lie" but "I did it but just once".
No red tape in buildings as the builders own building control companies
Off topic - nice shirt.
Why thank you
I sense the reference to a certain tragedy whose investigation was finally completed a few days ago...
Well done, Matt.
Yo! Big respect to mah maim man! 😊
Something of a Pickle there.
Matt Green for PM!!!
Please no. Matt seems like a great guy, but popularisim is how we got into this political mess.
@@natrelacoustix Agree, but I'm not sure that Matt is a populist.
@@natrelacoustix couldn't do any worse than ANY career politician......
Britain: collapsing buildings are just a fact of life 🤷
"Common sense" is more often neither.
Common sense should include the limit of common Sense. Preferably applied to the actual situation in front of you.
Common sense if we really have to use that as "tool" i prefer not to .
Is like, "dont step in the dog shit right in front of you.
Dont go under the ladder where the person is right now painting the wall, and you have nothing to do your self but look out for that.
Its also common sense .. that we make mistakes.
That work places where we come up against situations where we should use or constant "common sense" all the time, that it will fail eventually, by your self or by some one else, many times because another person has a slightly different view on what common sense is.
Common sense is not any specific thing it can t do anything and is sHIT for anything remotely complex.
The only proof I need that we cant rely on common sense to prevent disaster, is that tories have been elected.
this rocks Matt.
Hit it on the shin, oww, Matt. Methinks the, “Little Boxes” theme tune is a clue to these planners’ and builders’ ethos. Le Corbusier may not be trending style-wise but at least he saw humanity and domicile functionality before profit.
"....I've also never maimed anybody" :-))
Its amazing how uncommon common sense actually is. And despite previous experience of expecting adults to have it, finding they dont, then creating rules and regs instead, finding out that even the "common sense" of following said rules and regs isnt all that common, they want to get rid of rules and regs and go back to relying on common sense. Of course, common sense would tell you that is a mad idea which likely demonstrates that those advocating for common sense dont actually have it themselves.
De-regulation is for people who like to live dangerously!.....are you a risk taker, do you like dicing with death?.....then join the Conservative and Unionist party.
And who's gonna pay to retrain the red tape makers?
Welcome to modern America.
Me barking on about taxing the rich at parties.
My sister in law was an apprentice in the 80s. On day one her group of 30 were warned by their boss 'Probably two of you will die during the apprenticeship'. And that's exactly what happened through industrial accidents. That's why we now have H&S 'red tape'.
Red tape. For us Essential protections. For corporate monsters A tedious restriction on profiteering 😎
Proper regulation catches them
Proper sanctions dissuades them in the first place.
Thank
How would car parks, furniture stores and stupormarkets know they need to be "grand" opened if they weren't wrapped in red tape?
That was more of a serious political point than comedy. Which is fine as it was a very good political point!

without red tape you wouldn't have such great contributions to mankind as 'Yes Minister'... or, 'Yes Prime Minister'! These are just 2 of the contributions that bureaucracy has made to society..
Regulations are good if they are effective & minimal. Regulations in the UK are ineffective and excessive.
Didn't Kerry Packer say the same thing in an Australian select committee?
Small government gets you Grenfell. Yet the Tory leadership competition is still banging on about it. They are increasingly irrelevant.
Maybe we could replace red tape with a slightly inferior version, a sort of pinkish tape that looks almost the same but made in China or somewhere and a lot cheaper and put together with some slightly compromised quality control and testing and not really that inflamable at all.
Get rid of all red tape, and replace it with green tape. It's like red tape, only green is trendier for the environment....thingy.
As a lover of games, I welcome regulation. Can you imagine how shit a game would be without rules? By definition, it would no longer be a game..
Anyone that has ever worked in designing very popular games can tell there is a significant percentage of the adult population that lacks common sense. I speak from experience.
@@cancerino666 I thought this was the case but chalked it up to my autism
What are those regulations for cladding high rise buildings for anyway?
Great. Open the UK to Chinese-style "tofu-dreg" construction. What could go wrong?
Too soon Matt FFS
I haven't read the Grenfell report yet, so view this as a "spoiler"
I have never used red tape so go on get rid of it. I prefer clear tape or white tape some times.
One slight fault with this: the free-market proselytiser didn't have a shiny enough face. I didn't catch the name of the other guy: it certainly wasn't Jonathan Goodenough: as a true media professional, Jonathan's deepest instinct is Always Keep Things Fluffy Luvs. All this morality stuff is a bit of a draaaaaaag.
You're asking for common sense from a man who deleted the rules against kicking/ punching people as soon as it was possible.
Isn't being a part of the panel of the live version of -Remainiacs- Oh god what now? basically a party? It looked like fun & people pay for it...
Not that much drinking though…
I think we should keep Red Tape because we have a Red Labour government. Change the tape colour to match the Government colour.
Let’s apply the same logic to hard drogs
The Tories didn't like"Red" tape,they preferred blue tape. So we ended up with no tape at all, so that each party could blame rach other.😂👏👏👍👍
Er…
Not the market will decide, Darwin will decide
