The EU’s ‘right to repair’ rule is truly radical – British builders should copy it wholesale - Author Phineas Harper makes some really good points. I really like the idea of societies thst value repair, not just for electronics but for all sorts of things from clothes all the way through to bigger things like building construction. I think there's both a community aspect and a sustainability / self reliance angle too. And of course the underlying thingbis it's good for the environment. If the UK can be leader in modern tech and finance, wouldn't it be awesome if it could be a leader in healthy societies too? And there's no shame in taking great EU regulation whole cloth, in fact with something like this it might even be a great way for old and young to remain connected across borders. www.theguardian.com #
