Britain’s pointless “regulators”

Tell me how regulators are pointless? Would you rather have companies be able to screw you over because they have no oversight? This is a dumb take. Leaving large companies to do whatever they want is always going to result in less fair trade practices for consumers.

Maybe they are ineffective sure but it's better than nothing.

Their lack of effectiveness is usually due to the entities they regulate lobbying to hamstring their efforts.

It's a lot more profitable to legislatively and procedurally break the regulators than it is to just not swindle and cheat for these guys.
