Liability insurance

I am very interested in the item on liability insurance by Gordon
Lewis. My comments are that in the UK we looked at the same issues
some years back and decided *not to* go down this road in the UK for
the reasons that such a small group would have to pay a great deal
of money and conservators could just not afford it.

He is also right in that conservators, it seems in all countries,
have to leave all the time, because they can not make enough money
to live. I was with out stable work for 10 years and it is only
recently that I have again found some. In the UK it is a real
problem
