you cannot do simple things like fitting an electrical socket to your

It's not about safety. The electrician's union owns more government

unfortunately it was brought in as a safety measure (championed by some
MP
who had lost a family member to a house fire caused by faulty wiring)

So one person dies and 65 million pay the price?

Nope, they get safer wiring.

Even if they don't want it.
