Interesting. What would you get rid of?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/today/vote/2006vote/
We want you to suggest a law which you think should be scrapped.
Which is Britain's least useful or most damaging law? If possible, be specific. Our panel of politicians (across the spectrum) and legislation experts will sift your nominations to come up with a shortlist of six.
That shortlist will go to a vote and, on New Year's Day, we'll announce the winning - or, more accurately, losing - law. At the very least, we hope, we'll fuel debate. But we'll also see whether any politician is brave enough to take the views of Today listeners to the House of Commons.
Who knows where it might lead? Watch this space.

I say bring back the death sentence for those found 100% guilty of murder... (so the law would be to stop the death sentence!). Whats the point of giving these fookers a nice life in prison......

I would repeal the Criminal Justice & Public Order Act, 1994
The most oppressive piece of legislation created in recent times.

The ridiculous Misuse of drugs act need to go too though
Perhaps they should bring in the US jury etc where the death sentence is still used and seems effective. Or ship em all over there to face fate. Anything done in this country seems to be a complete fuck up.

Yeah, that system works really well
Where humans are involved mistakes will be made.
Capital punishment is from the dark ages and needs to stay there.
I'm not saying the current system doesn't have its problems (lets face it, it can be a joke) but executing people will never be an acceptable solution imo.

I think they should "take a look" at the laws about underage sex, I mean have you walked past a highschool recently
its just too hard to tell how old they are these days, when theyre getting in nightclubs n that man FFS, add 15 pints of snakebite and youre doing a 3 stretch easily
Seriously I know the law has to be there for when the people are grooming them over the net n stuff , but what about when the 18 yr old stunna is chatting you up in a club so you do the biz then blow her out , she gets offended and cries rape, and that 18yr old stunna just happens to be a 15 yr old stunna

as above but (sorry lads)drinking age should be 21,
and sick peados should get life
but on a real law ,the law that states we are not allowed to know if a sex offender or kiddy fiddler lives near , like megans law in the states,then them weirdo fucks might think before they wreck peoples lives!!!

I say bring back capitol punishment
But if I had to choose a law to be discarded - I discard the law that allows illegal immigrants the rights to live here, in free houses with benefits, enjoying my tax money for their lifestyles....

I wouldn't scrap a law but I would scrap all this 'Human Rights' bollocks.
Especially when it comes to criminals who are locked up inside
Don't get me wrong, I do agree with some things but it goes a bit to far at times!!!

Don't get me wrong, I do agree with some things but it goes a bit to far at times!!!
where to start?
the human rights law
the kiddyfillding perverts law which says we can't know hwo they are
eruopen stuff
anything blair has pushed in
welfare state stuff
the list is endless
but the death penalty wouldn't be one of them, there are more iportant thngs to think baout than that
if you've kileld somenoe you get locked up in a stone room and get fed twice a day in a bucket
you use another bucket to do your crap in
job done
and if you ditched the human rights stuff they wouldn't be complaining they didnt' hae thier comfy tellys and beds and stuff
do the same for all crims and you won't have any problems with people getting knifed in prison, cell mixing going wrong, people being able to bribe stuff out of the guards or anything like drugs and all that going in inside
if you want to tech them a lesson make sure it works
all the rehabilitaion and teaching them how to do stuff should come AFTER they get punished
rant over

Bring back National Service, let these little shits who roam the streets thinking they are clever and acting like heroes find out what it takes to learn some discipline
OR....
change National Speed Limit to at least 100 mph

change National Speed Limit to at least 100 mph
The law which says you are free to choose to vote or not should be removed, or at least the law should change.
Everyone MUST vote, unless they have a pretty good excuse, like death or something...
(Everyone must learn English when living in the UK, everyone must learn 'basic' politics at school or wherever, especially people living\born in the UK as an example to people moving to the country).

a. There is no party you can, in good conscience, vote for?
or
b. You consider voting to be condoning a system which you do not support or believe in?

Personally I think the current stance on treating what is reasonable on a case by case basis is the correct one.
It is unacceptable to allow people to kill someone who has committed a crime against them unless their life is in danger imo.
Where do you draw the line? The kid who breaks into a car deserves to be caught and punished (by the system) but they do not deserve to be killed with a pick-axe handle by the cars owner.
How many of us can say we didn't fracture the odd law when we were young and stupid?
Do you think the shop keeper has the right to cut your throat because you stole that chocolate bar aged 13?

Seriously though, for me it's the Hunting Act...no, I'm not middle class, no, I don't agree with Fox Hunting in the slightest. I detest it. It's the reason I stopped horse riding when I was younger as I couldn't mix with people who agreed with it.
However, it's proclaimed to be one of, if not the worst worded piece of legislation out of the 22,000 acts we have kicking around in the statute books. For anybody who thought the House of Lords rejected it on the grounds they are ''toffs'' it was actually because the highest court in the land thought it was the most poorly put together bundle of paper it could have been. People will still hunt (eg on boxing day), they'll still cruelly kill foxes..and..at worst...people will deliberately flout the law knowing they won't get caught.
Bin it...and write it properly.

everything now is down to "human rights" even pirsoners being paid because, as a result of them being in clicnk they haven't been able to score the dops they need and have been forced to go cold turkey
now, if thats not a load of bollocks then explain to me why that should be so?
get caught robbing old grannies flats to pay for your drugs, go to prison, go cold turkey, suffer a bit while playing on your ps2 and doing all the things that would wouldn't be able to do if you outside them prison walls AND get paid for the previlege
as opposed to
get caught robbing old grannies to fucnd your drug habits, getting thrown into clink, sit there like a turd, get fed and watered once a day for the duration of your sentance
one with human rights, one without, i know what i'd be voting for
