RSS Feed for 'Repealing unnecessary laws' discussion

Rules in society create good law and order. But too many nannying, unnecessary rules restrict freedom and make criminals out of ordinary people.

We need to root through the laws of our land, identify anything which looks unnecessary, pointless, or just downright daft, and ask – are these necessary? And we need your help.

Question

Which offences do you think we should remove or change, and why?

Before you post your idea please search to see if someone else has posted your idea already. If they have, you can add your comments. This will help both visitors and moderators track the debate. And remember - we want you to suggest ideas for removing laws and regulations, rather than ideas for creating them.
