Some very sensible points have been made in those final comments of the Opposition - pity the Government doesn't listen and has just followed its instincts to regulate everything!

As a musician, singer, morris dancer and mummer, I can only look forward to either:-

1 being stopped from performing in some instances, even some traditions which have gone back for hundreds of years; OR
2 having to spend a lot more (unnecessary!) time finding my way through the bureaucracy and applying for a multitude of licences; OR
3 ignoring it all and running the risk of a fine and becoming a criminal!

Brilliant! What a wonderfully reformist Government we have!
