”Macho” regulation?

Sir, I am utterly confused by Mr. David O. Clark’s letter titled “We must not let ‘macho’ regulation kill UK economy” October 12. 

What “light touch” “macho regulation” does he refer to? That which allows banks to leverage their equity more than 60 times when visiting Kew Gardens but holds them to only 12 when going to the Amazon? 

That type regulation can only be the product of dumb sissies who ignore that if Kew Gardens gets to be overcrowded, it could turn into a deadlier trap that the most boa infested river Amazon bend.
