Fair point but a kettle can be dangerous , it can be stolen , it can scald you with hot water and it can explode , doesnt need insurance though
Third Party insurance doesn't cover you, or members of your family (usually). Scalding other people in your house would be covered on your HH insurance. The number of Third Parties outside your home are many orders of magnitude greater than on the roads. So not a great argument really.
Of course is a valid argument , you dont NEED household insurance or third party cover for someone to use a kettle in your house

The fact that an object like a car can cause injury should not imo mean that the object requires insurance, life is dangerous you cant insure against all risks , a bit of commonsense is all thats needed.

You don't need car insurance if the car is kept on your property, either.

You are arguing against compulsory 3rd party insurance?
Or just for vehicles that are stationary?

Stop being a retard just for the sake of being a retard ! The number of successful kettle injury claims amounts to a number approaching zero compared to successful motor injury claims.

What is it you do (manual, north of england, I will wager) ? Let us have a whinge about that. Or too scared to say, and just whine on the internet about stuff to make you feel better about yourself ?

Cretin.
