David Seymour's mini-DOGE vanity project, the Ministry of Regulation, is rarely credited with any actual savings, so here's a seriously dumb one.
Farmers using drones will no longer need any training in either flying or agricultural spraying. From mid-2027, just an advance notification to the CAA will suffice.
While a few farmers' sons may be updating their Christmas wish lists, the Aviation Industry Association is not happy.
"Agricultural spray drones are the size of a dining room table, can travel at more than 70kmh and will almost certainly weigh more than 100 kilograms when operating. What happens if a farmer operating one of these has a flyaway or system failure?"
What about keen farm boys over-spraying neighbouring properties? This deregulated attitude is on point for Seymour and the Atlas Network in general.
'Let's increase the risk of death or serious injury on farms. What could possibly go wrong?'
