Does anyone know which law they forgot to repeal when they were tidying the statute books in the last parliament?

Was it celebrating Christmas?

Or eating Christmas pud?

And how many people were prosecuted for not attending Sunday archery practice up until then?

After all: the law's the law!

Just reading through some of the posts on the Forum and they seem to be attacking the Police for catching people who are breaking the Law.....

Lets not go through all this complete and utter crap again...........you [break the law], you get caught....you accept the punishment.
It is as simple as that!

The Police dont make the Laws, its their jobs to uphold the Law, otherwise i will would become a Baker, Accountant etc.

If you cant say anything constructive then please dont bother to post at all.

We all, and i mean all.....get something out of the Forum and dont forget, when Off Duty, we are all in the same boat.

Its not my job to defend the Police..in fact i wont even try to defend 120,000 people that i have never met (or the Politicians who decide on the Laws) ...........above all, i enjoy what i do and it puts spending money in my pocket.

Im sure that if you want to whinge about things that are plainly Black and White then there will be other Forums in which to ply your trade.

Enough said!

May i remind you tony. The law is the law. It's your job to enforce it. Apparently how ever stupid or misguided.

Seemed to remember being allowed to kill a scotsman if found in Westminster. Never been repealed, but could be wrong.

Or to bring it up to date when was the last time you stopped someone using an MP3 player 99.9% certainity they are breaching copyright law. Alternatively, what about being caught with drugs for personal use, which law says you get off with a caution?

The police are not a passive organisation who merely "process" the law. They are are an active and integral component of an end to end chain including the justice system and parliment amongst others.

The police choose where, when and how to deploy their resources and againist which "crimes". It is perfectly valid to critise that selection and has nothing to do with "if you do like it get the law changed".

Stumped eh?

Don't tell me you didn't know that those laws were the law.

And that you don't know that one of them still is.

Never mind which one!

Tut, tut!

I like these too:

In Chester, you can only shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow inside the city walls and after midnight.

In Hereford, you may not shoot a Welsh person on Sunday with a longbow in the Cathedral Close.

In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless in public except as a clerk in a tropical fish store.

In York, excluding Sundays, it is perfectly legal to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow.

(And I think it is eating mince pies that is illegal on xmas day)

You can still be hung for urinating in a Naval dockyard.


Not that I ever did that in my navy days.
