An Orange Wash

There is one positive thing you have to accept about this “Orange Book 2” – aka Britain after Blair. At least they’re finally taking health and safety seriously.

Look at the cover to the old book. Marshall and Laws have got that poor girl leaning at an uncomfortable angle. She looks like she might topple over any minute. Surely it would have been more sensible to move the ladder across? The mind boggles how she got everything above her painted.

Now, contrast this with Britain after Blair. The man is painting in a much more comfortable position. Although again, how did he paint everything above him – and how come he left this last space until last? While he seems to finally be taking safety precautions more seriously, I would question his efficiency.

But the real question is, why do they want to paint their walls this ghastly colour in the first place?
