Bad Laws

We are snooped on, hectored and hounded by state nannies, in a state of interference from cradle to grave. We also have to put up with the unjustified and disproportionate use of fines and charges, bloody-minded parking restrictions and preposterous European directives. Philip Johnston exposes the Bad Laws - those irritating regulations and Whitehall idiocies that have made life in Britain a day-to-day nightmare and threaten to change the nature of this country. So, what s so bad? A snooper s charter that lets an army of council jobsworths look at your phone and email details. More CCTV cameras than anywhere in teh world - yet they fail to deter criminals. The world's biggest DNS crime database that contains the profiles of over a million innocent people. The threat of a visit from the
police for having politically incorrect opinions. A ban on smoking so inflexible that it threatens the future of a great British institution - the pub. This is a great country with proud traditions - so why have we lost touch with the commonsense attitudes that once defined us?
