Asbestos - That'll learn 'em!
From a report about the presence of asbestos in the Palace of Westminster:
"We became aware of significant dangers and risks to the health and safety of persons not only gaining access and working in the risers and ducts but generally to all persons within the Palace of Westminister (sic)."MPs* have significant risks to their health and safety? I don’t believe in karma, but if I did, I can’t help but think many members of Parliament have recently earned significant risks to their health…
*I appreciate this is also a worry to staff and visitors at the Palace of Westminster – of course, they have my sympathy.

Knowing our luck most MPs will probably be impervious to asbestos.
It's bollocks.
White asbestos, especially when underneath plaster, wallpaper etc is 100% harmless. It's the blue and brown stuff that will kill you in months, but that has been banned for twenty years or something.
This is a typical EU fuck up. Way back when, they overlooked the blue/brown vs. white distinction and declared the white stuff to be Harmful. So an 'asbestos removal' industry appeared out of nowhere, now they are begging for subsidies and lobbying hard for public contracts.
Bastards.
