[Closed] Things that really should be illegal. Lets dream up some new laws....

Seeing as this government has bought about 70 squillion laws in since coming to power. All but 2 of them being some ill-conceived knee-jerk piece of pointless authoritarianism, destined to be unenforceable and utterly pointless.

What laws do you think they should have brought in? Something that may actually serve some useful purpose, or benefit society in some way?

I'd make it illegal for some bastards to 'roll' their company's. A lovely practice where you build up some nice debts, then put your company into administration.

You then buy it back (invariably at a knock-down price), through another company you set up. Writing off your debts in the process. Leaving you to carry on living in your huge house and driving around in your Ferrari, unmolested by the poor bastards you've just turned over.

I've just been stung for the 3rd time

Another gift of 'de-regulation' delivered to us by our glorious leader. Thanks Gordon. You porridge-faced ****!!!!

Any other suggestions....?

I'd make it illegal for any pub not to sell Guinness

Any fines or penalties would be automatically doubled if they tried to substitute it with Murphy's or Beamish

It should be illegal for caravans on the road between the hours of 07:00 and 24:00 🙂

[pedant]
no such time as 24:00 so any prosecutions would be thrown out on a technicality

All parking offences, not being entireley within the box, parking in a child space, with no child (often with a child seat of a child who is elsewhere, which somehow bugs me more!) to be punishable by death.
in a judge dread stylee.
with me as judge dread.

YARGH!!!!

infact!!! its not lack of skill, its just people being bone idle, so i would make it illegal to park forwards.
end of.
forward parkers are all morons, add that to my list of sweeping generalisations.

I'm going to go the other way and say that it should be LEGAL for cyclists to carry guns. To be used against any motorist who displays inconsiderate behavior.

That would do more to sort out driving attitudes in this country than anything else!

Pensioners to only be able to use supermarkets between the hours of 9am-12:00am and 2pm-5:00pm. I only get a short amount of time between home/work/lunch to be in there SO WHY ARE YOU DODDERING AROUND IN THERE WHEN YOU CAN GO AT ANY TIME!!!!

make it legal to ride footpaths....

but its the wanderings of many pedestrians and few bikes that makes the footpaths the best singletrack.

if bikes were allowed on them, the corners and drops and steps would all be rounded off pretty quickly surely? making them rubbisher?.

The new system of requiring everyone who wants the chance to dip their cock in a baby to have a £64 certificate saying they've never done it before doesn't go far enough. There is scope to make so many people so much safer.

Minimum speed limits, i.e. 20-30% below posted speed limit on clear road in good conditions results in three point and a £60 fine.

so i would make it illegal to park forwards.
end of.

It is here if the parking space is at square angle from the road. I like ransos law.

Being able to shoot anyone that have the same dog as hoora, starting by him. Or banning lycra is you have more than 8% body mass of fat.

And obvioulsy the track stand law.

Already exist, a friend of my family was fined (and pointed IIRC) for driving at 40 on the motorway.

And I'm not so sure about that, have you seen some of the scrawny bony bags that ride around in lycra, I find that almost as offensive as my own lard arse in it!

I'd ban Andy P's racist comments above.

(Damn, I've become TJ overnight!)

Soccer, Wendyball, Kevball, Association Football - Call it what you will, I'd still ban it! 😉

I'd ban Stockport County and have all their mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, sister-shagging 'fans' flayed alive and their skins made into a new roof over the railway end so that rugby fans from away teams stay dry!

Sterilisation for all and a government license required to have children, similar to the restrictions on adoption.

No more than 2 children per family (multiple births excepted).

No more than 1 house per adult or married couple.

That should see some "affordable housing" appear soon.

Northerners who aspirate "aitch" as "haitch".

And would make life completely impossible for a large part of the population who require rental accommodation (e.g. students)

ban alcopops, overtly fat people, football shirts on adults, arms dealers and umbrellas
