Not fanning the fire here (excuse the pun) but you seem to be venting rather than arguing a point! Calling others morons just because you don't agree with them just shows that you may suffer from the same affliction.
The flip side to your point...
I tend to do my own electrical, plumbing and in certain circumstances gas work. I research and follow the regs to the letter. This is really not at all hard if you poses any degree of inelegance! There are times where I have had to get the work certified and never had any problems.
There are many decent and competent pros out there but I have also seen many who's work is bad beyond belief. They hide behind a joke of a 'ticket' and a liability insurance policy.
Nobody cares for my kids safety more than I. Therefore when I carry out any work it's obvious what my priorities are. My work will not be affected by a hangover, rushing to the next job, wife/kids problems etc...
The advantages of DIY for someone like me are:
i) Better safety and above standard work.
iii) Save on costs and having to fix a pro's botch.
iv) Getting it done at a time convenient to me.
Like I said, many pros are great at their job but unfortunately there are many who are equally bad.

Hi,
I'm pretty pleased that electrical fittings can be bought by anyone, it stops them being too specialised and therefore keeps the price down.
You can of course buy and fit as many of these sockets as you like to an existing circuit, as long as you don't fit any outside (or in a bathroom, kitchen or other special location). Nothing whatsoever is stopping you from buying, and fitting any electrical items to your house (or any gas fittings (also available to the public) without a GasSafe qualification come to that).There is no need for you to follow any regulations, no need to fit bonding, a CPC or an ADS system. As long as nothing goes wrong then the electrons (or the natural gas molecules in the gas illustration) will obey the laws of physics and do what you want them to; the only problems occur when something goes wrong, when a few regulations, a bit of bonding, perhaps a CPC and maybe even an ADS system come in a bit handy.
As I said above, I have no dog in this fight, ignore any safety regulations you like, and nothing will happen until something goes wrong.

hi could someone advise about fitting one of these is it straight forward just taking a spur of an existing internal supply?
thanks

Fitting power or light outside is notifiable work, so it either needs building control or a competent person (i.e an electrician who is a member of a self-certification scheme).

it depends on various factors, such as, whether the circuit you're thinking of tapping into is rcd protected. also, if you're coming from a ring circuit, only 1 spur can come from each point on the ring, so if the socket you want to come from is already a spur, then that would be a no-no. I'm not going to try and tell you that you and your family will die if you do this yourself, but if you don't know what you're doing, you really are better getting a professional. the regs aren't in place for nothing
