3000 STOOPID LAWS

How many laws have been enacted since shiny new Labour were elected in 1997? Answer, 3000 of them. How many of these 3000 new laws have actually done any good? Answer, none of them.

In a small article tucked away on page two of the Daily Telegraph, Friday 14th November, 2008, it reported how there has been an avalanche of new laws thrust upon the long suffering people of the UK and the fact that they have “not made the country safer”.

This article stated the only thing they have managed to do is criminalise a lot of ordinary citizens. People in this country have been given criminal records for leaving dustbin lids ajar, one poor chap from South Wales now has a criminal record for putting the wrong sort of rubbish into a public rubbish bin – and the list goes on of pointless, petty-fogging, and nit-picking trivial laws turning ordinary law abiding people into criminals.

One woman who stood by the Cenotaph in Whitehall was arrested and given a criminal record for reading out aloud the names of those who have died in the war in Iraq. On pages 10 and 11 of the same newspaper the photos and names of 300 people who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan were published. No doubt if someone dares to open the Telegraph and read these pages whilst standing outside the gates of Downing Street, they could be arrested for making an illegal protest, too.

Oh well, what do you expect from a stoopid Government – stoopid laws, silly.
