Oh, fuck off.
Is it boot stomping to require people to have smoke alarms too, or are you okay with people dying in fires?

Yes, it's really dumbfounding that the free-market solution wasn't adopted. It is just common sense: you do nothing and let the birds die. Spending £35 when constructing a £300,000 house just doesn't pass financial muster.
