On dragons den last night, one of the "dragons" mentioned oil-based or
high VOC paints are to be banned. Anyone know about this ?
Will be forced to use the awful quick-drying paints that leave brush
marks everywhere ?
More things going the way of the incandescent light bulbs ?

yet more idiotic meddling. We'll just have to go over to lead paint or
make our own oil paints, probably using something worse than white
spirit.


Perhaps you didn't read the article. Here is a quote:

"Flat oil paint and eggshell oil paints will be effectively banned from use
on walls. They may however still be used on 'trim' areas such as woodwork."


Will not being allowed to 'gloss' your wall bother you?
