Default Tell Us The Laws You Want Scrapped!

One of the tabloids has this as their headline today ahead of Cleggs speach.

So what laws would you have scrapped?

Me, I'd scrap any laws that put the rights of pikeys, pedos and terrorists above those of the people of the UK.

I think the whole book of law needs rewriting from the ground up... no unwritten conventions, and everything needs to be understood by the average 10th year old.

That and a big injection of common sense.

I would like to see the "Policies" rather than laws that keep people out of prison etc scrapped. Do the crime, do the time. As in enforce sentencing guidelines and stop being soft on criminals.

Not enough room in prison. So what, it isn't supposed to be a hotel, cram them to the gunnels with the scum.

+ 1,000,000.

We seem to have forgotten that its about protecting society and the victim. Rehabilitating the offender is a great concept but the fact that so many reoffend suggests we're doing it wrong. Sharp shock so they don't want to reoffend seems a simple concept to me.

As for laws i'd like to see scrapped; why are we seeing so many 50mph limits. leave 'em alone.

For starters, the one that means that we have to put up with two Pakistani terrorists here. We can't deport them because they might face torture or death in Pakistan. Funny, the people concerned didn't seem too bothered about that fate for other people when they were planning to blow up a shopping centre. The Human Rights Act needs radical review.

The Law that men must practice longbow in the city of london, or failing that, the law taht says that cyclists must stop at traffic lights. As long as its safe to proceed, the do so. Oh and the 9x6 law for motorcycle numberplates.
