Glum, miserable ,whining old people that think moving to Scotland will somehow cure their condition.
WHY? Just WHYYY?
Linked cam above the bed?
Nazis
Microsoft One Drive
Marmite
On a more serious note I reckon banning of gifts to political parties would do a lot to improve the workings of democracy.
A wonderful, yet totally unworkable, idea.
Smoking
Vaping
40mphers
Littering of any kind
Flying
Cruises
People/companies not paying their fair share of tax
Politicians lying
Papers lying
People having more than 1 child
People posting ‘fake news’ on social media
Brexit

Ohh god yes - people who've moved to the middle of nowhere to 'get away from it all' only to find the 'it all' they were trying to get away from was them. They then get furious at everyone and everything around them for their happiness not happening. There's a particularly fine example in Dundonnell and theres one absolute corker in Glen Ettive.
Dog shit on pavements. Specifically people not picking up their dogs crap and leaving it for me to step on at night. Oh also dog shit in bags up a tree WTAF!
cars
- they kill and maim far too many people
- they dictate the shape of, and dominate our landscapes
- they make people lazy and fat
- they and their industry are barriers to progression
- they are too expensive to provide infrastructure for
- people don't realise quite how much their cars have power over them
Dog owners.

McDonald's.
They attract the worst of society, their packaging can be seen in pretty much every ditch and hedgerow in the land and encourage over consumption which leads to the obesity crisis we have in this country.
I also struggle to resist them, which is making me lose weight at a lower rate than I want.
I'm in one now 😊
Social media, actual social media (not like here) where people post banalities or propaganda then wait for likes.
It's horribly bad for your mental health.
Smoking. There is zero benefits to anyone who smokes and there is a constant pile of litter generated from it. Ban it, and ban it now.
Lunge
I see why you are so concerned 😉

Private ownership of Newspaper
So all newspapers must be owned by the state and therefore will be incentivised to support it and prop up the ruling party? Seems to be working well in Russia now that Putin has pretty much achieved that objective.
ebikes.

Or, more accurately, ebikes that cost £11,000
People trying to impose rules on threads on discussion forums, just because they started them.
And #Brexit
Public sale of fireworks. They’re explosives for forks sake.
For Fawkes sake Shirley?
Offices. Horrible places and the root of many of society's ills such as transport/commuting/parking, bad backs/fatties, crappy lunches, Love Island and so on.

Melodramatics it’s literally what is wrong with society today, no wonder this country is going to the dogs.
Being sensible : Plastics. The fruit & veg aisle in every supermarket in the land has a small amount of unwrapped fruit & veg next to mountains upon mountains of the stuff wrapped in un-recyclable plastic.
Being silly: people saying Legos for Lego

Agreed, but for me if it meant losing STW I'd accept it.
I think on balance it's worth a ban, for the things it does to kids heads to the way it mines our data and then sells it to people who can use all sorts of shady shit to make us believe bullshit it's doing more harm than good now.
It could be policed better, but they won't, it's too good a toy for the powers that be for them to want to stop it - it's the new Tabloid.

Is it just me or do all supermarkets now only sell mushrooms in pre-packaged packs? I like them but no-one else does in our house but none of our local supermarkets had anything put the packs when I looked at the weekend - I only want three or four of the things!
Wheeled suitcases. Especially now we have a 20kg weight limit on the majority of holiday flights. As a species are we really so ducking weedy that we are unable to carry 20kg a few dozen steps instead of dragging the bastard over the noisy stone floor of an airport? If you're that bloody weak what the hell are you going to do when you get wherever you're going other than laze around on a beach stuffing yourself silly with stuff that's going to give you the shits and drink yourself stupid with the all-inclusive pishh the resortt is palming off as cocktails, whilst forgetting all common-sense and frying yourself into a sunburned sack of offal while your kids ruin everybody else's holiday.

Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and larger co-ops sell them loose, probably not the only ones.
Fossil fuels, ban them now. And single use plastic which would by default happen from banning fossil fuels

Sainsbury's (and Asda) in Harrogate didn't have any loose on Saturday. Shelves and shelves of pre-packed ones though - I was tempted to open a pack and just take what I wanted.

Ban cars from city and town centres.
Ban road spending that doesn't provide 2miles of Boardman level quality cycle infra for every amended/new mile of road.
Football: It encourages excessive alcohol consumption, riots, too much noise, general aggressive behaviour.
Games Consoles: Find a real hobby and don't be so lazy.
E Cigarettes: It's not better for you than smoking. It's less harmful that smoking. Smells bad too.
Mens skinny jeans and trousers that stop before your shoes: Does this really need a justification?
Fossil fuels, ban them now. And single use plastic which would by default happen from banning fossil fuels
You would also by default ban the manufacturer of asphalt roads and pavements, most pharmaceuticals (if the chemical precursors are not petrochemicals themselves then the solvents used in the manufacturer are), all common synthetic fibres (fine if it means forgoing a shell suit, less cool when it's a climbing rope you want), high performance paints/coatings, useful adhesives - from medical superglue to expoxy resin, a vast array of medical implants, hygienic single use medical equipment, synthetic fertiliser (who needs food), bike tyres etc.
Me, I think I'd ban banning things. Prohibition is rarely effective.
Oh, wait, I've got one. I'd ban TV shows that have 15 minutes of actual content spun out to three quarters of an hour. "Coming up later..." - actual content - "after the break..." - adverts - "previously on [show]..." - "coming up next..." Argh!
The Banhammer
I'd cheerfully replace the banhammer with a bozo filter, it'd solve many problems.

I've argued this for years (and won, because I now work from home). There's merit to going into an office if your job requires some sort of teamwork, but I think a lot of places drag people in simply because "we've always done it this way" (which is the worst reason to do anything).

So what you're saying is, you want to ban Americans?

or was it an iron ?

Are we back in the 1970s again?
Alcohol.
Cakes.
Fireworks.
Fun.
Lists.

Hmm! How hard could that be maybe we should do the math.
. I’d ban TV shows that have 15 minutes of actual content spun out to three quarters of an hour. “Coming up later…” – actual content – “after the break…” – adverts – “previously on [show]…” – “coming up next…” Argh!
In particular - magazine shows like BBC Breakfast where large amounts of the broadcast time are spent trailing an upcoming interview then when it arrives cut the conversation short with 'well we could talk all day but unfortunately we've run out of time'
Are we back in the 1970s again?
Yes - its been the 31 December 1975 since the 1 Feb 2020
