Right before i start im not 100% sure how i feel about this, but here goes.
Watching Watchdog last night, they proceed to bust this bloke while carrying out some boiler repairs in a house. They dont bust him because he is ripping people off or unsafe, but because he doesnt have the qualifications to work on a live boiler.
So it turns out that because he hasnt got the paper work (he still knows what he's doing and fixed the problem safely), they notify the police and he ends up getting 6 months jail.
Now my problem, this guy is trying to earn a living and probably has a family to feed, yes he's not qualified so he is in the wrong and breaking the law and should be punished...but sending him to jail!?!?! They admitted there was nothing wrong with the installation. Now instead of busting people who dont work but can, instead sit around claiming job seekers allowance while not even attempting to find work, they decide to ruin the life of a bloke who is trying to earn a living!?!?!
Pissed me off no end...but as i say he was in the wrong. :?
