..what would it be, and why?

As for me, I think I'd change the building legislation which ensures that if there is a new private housing development there has to be a certain percentage of "chav housing".

Fairly close to my house, there has been some recent development and the chav houses represent no more than 5%-10% of these properties. However, the low-life scum that hang around there - beggars belief. I'm glad I don't live any closer!

err. I can't think of anything!

I happily follow rules and laws regardless. Man, I gotta get more assertive!

I'd allow the use of all alternative fuels. If your car can run on it, you can use it, and we'll work out the taxation later.

(in best st tony of bliar voice) - "hey, you know, i mean, it's cool to integrate many diverse people with varied values and backgrounds. hey, you know, i believe we shall all benefit, you know, this is cool britannia, you know. i believe in our kids, they are our future, you know?"

sooooo, that's why st tony bought his circa £2m pad in one of london's most elite areas then?

had same experience m'self - tainted the whole area of an otherwise nice development, the little tossers.

Very true. It is stupid to keep this illegal. Legalise it and it will destroy the violent east European pimps.

Another one I can live with. The very worst recreational drug is tobacco. It kills more people than all other drugs, all road accidents and AIDS put together. If we allow the evil that is tobacco we have no moral ground to ban anything else.

Yes I am an ex smoker. Gave it up nearly 30 years ago. It would be hypocritical of me to criticise smoking without the personal experience of the burden of nicotine addiction. However I know that it is possible to break free and take control of your life.
The evidence now is a lot different than it was 30 years ago, now you have to be spectacularly stupid to stay on this evil weed.
