Gary i think the dodgy certs are a result of sheer laziness and complacency.
For example, a performer who gets tested all the time and never nothing wrong suddenly thinks everyone else does and knows them anyway and more often than not because they are familiar with each other they dont look at test results.
Ive seen that relaxed attitude happen because people were so horny to get it on they were shocked at the end themselves. Yeah we joked about it and then a friend in the business of health and safety informed me the responsibility I play in this and I had a wake up call.
I actually had a cold sweat thinking about it ( a tad dramatic but true) then speaking to some producers casually (not UKAP. i do actually know non members too( and the attitude of one was: hey why should I care. I'm not doing the fucking and theyve consented to working with each other....Not a good attiitude.
Given what I know that people live colourful lifestyles off camera it makes sense to me to step this up now rather than wait for another Daryl James to happen.
I wont get into name dropping because that is libellous so lets not go there eh?
If you are in the industry you wouldnt have to ask that question. One of the reasons we have a password protected forum because of it as certain "shit stirrers " would have a field day and cause chaos which I'm sure is the base of their formation in the first place.
(Yeah you know who you are. Ive got your number)
