Govt asking for suggestions of laws to repeal

[Rulke]

Good to see the Digital Economy Act at #1

Though the guy wanting to repeal the laws of gravity gets my vote

(site is a bit slow)

 

[rynnor]

Can we just repeal the last 11 years of new labour legislation?

I mean theres just so many awful laws to choose from.

 

[Wij]

Can we get rid of the laws on public indecency with goats please.

 

[nath]

Dunno if it applies, but I think we need libel reform.

 

[Ch3tan]

It's slow, think every single member here should rate the digital economy bill thread. Also, is there anything on stop and search powers there?

 

[Chilly]

how about all of the laws with "terrorism" in their titles over the last 10 years.

 

[megadave]

A bit slow, I can barely even load the first page

 

[Calaen]

of it's slow theres about 40 million people searching through repealing laws that they find themselves caught in

 

[Gumbo]

I'd get rid of the cock stupid rash of 50mph limits on perfectly good former NSL roads.

Typical shit bollocks government website, can't handle the traffic.

Its more rubbish really, remember the No.10 petitions site? What a load of shite that was.

 

[MYstIC G]

Petitions website was shite because it was designed by Steiny tbfh

This one at lease falls over and gives you a status update powered by twitter.

 

[Embattle]

Kind of suspect a lot of you won't get the ones you want.

 

[Ch3tan]

Kind of suspect a lot of you won't get the ones you want.

Proof will be in the pudding, the petitions website was a lot of shit because there was no political will to do anything with it. The political will to listen to the voters seems to be present, only time will tell.

??! Not Apache or IIS then?

Or maybe they've just got some really zen guy pumping out the webpages by the power of his mind?

No, they're running Varnish

 

[Gumbo]

Running a boatyard I hate when you get running varnish, you have to rub the whole work down and start again..

Back on topic.

Get rid of every law, regulation and cash cow related to health and safety that has come in since Labour came to power, and then re-assess them to see if they are legitimately there to protect us, or simply there to give the stupid and/or careless someone to blame.

 

[Gumbo]

Oooh also, get rid of the law that says I have to practice with my longbow every weekend. It's really eating into my drinking time, and people are beginning to comment on my over developed right arm.

 

[Calaen]

OK so I want to vote on something but there is about 10 digital economy bill threads!!!!!

 

[MYstIC G]

The one I picked was the first one posted and had the most votes.

 

[Wij]

Takes a while to go through them and vote.

Personally I voted to get religion out of schools and not to have any funding for religious quangos and for a modern secular state.

Also against the Digital Economy Bill and the smoking ban

And the fact that's it's against the law to rip your own CDs for your own use (fair use is US law not English)

Oh, and the 'extreme porn' law. The bloke who got done for having a cartoon of Tony the Tiger shows what a dog's breakfast that is.

Anything else...

Oh yeh, hate crimes are just crimes.
