WTF is up with all this health and safety crap in the UK?

Yeh I more or less agree that the system could be improved (which system couldn't?) but the broad tabloid-style dismissal of H&S (from some people, not from you) is depressing.

I watched a tv program about H&S inspectors, did anyone see that?
They were nice guys, really just looking out for everyones best interests.
Right at the end they showed one of them reading the daily mail, which was saying 'these H&S jobsworths were the ones at belson doing the gassing just cos they were told too' and i've never seen a guy look so upset. Comparing them to nazi ss is a bit much.
