I'm a very easy going guy, completely liberal in mindset and believe that everyone should be able to do as they see fit as long as it makes them happy and does not harm anyone or anything else.

Having said that.................my law would be that people who litter should be punished by having at least one digit cut off without anesthetic. Those that drive out in to the countryside to dump stuff on a larger scale should lose a hand.

I am utterly confident that people who deliberately litter (lobbing stuff out of the car window, dumping old carpets in laybys etc) can not possibly have anything valuable to contribute to society. I defy you to find someone who litters who is an otherwise really decent person.

These people have an utter distain for the environment, nature, their community and – not that I am in the least bit nationalistic - their country. Either that or their IQ is so astonishingly low that once again they are unlikely to contribute anything other than a plethora of equally pointless and retarded offspring.

Under my new law these people would no longer be able to litter because they would no longer have the necessary digits to pick anything up to lob it out of the car window.

People who litter fundamentally are, and always will be, s. There, I said it. I commend this motion to the house.

Other than this, I’m as liberal as you get!

That would get my vote. Where I live I've not seen so much crap and rubbish dumped outside of a third world country.

I'd make everyone pay £10 when they arrive at Accident and Emergency which would be refunded if it turns out they have either had an accident or it is an emergency!

On a slightly more serious note, I'd use my one law to say that there should only be one single rate of tax on salaries over the personal allowance.

Someone earning a lot more is already paying a lot more in tax. Making them pay a much higher percentage of their income is just unfair.
and yet the poor have to spend proportionately more of their income on taxable goods like petrol.

is your suggestion any fairer to those in the Lower tax bracket? Everyone pays at the same rate regardless of your ability to pay?

Is it OK when the pilot actually earned it?

In all the years I've travelled, I've only had one single flight where more than about 2 Americans did this, and that was landing back into Gatwick from Amsterdam in a Cityhopper type prop plane some 15 years ago in stormy weather.

The plane was moving in every bloody direction the whole way in, and you could hear the engines pitching up and down the whole way in. One of my colleagues drew blood from the poor stranger sat next to her when she grabbed his arm out of fear.

I don't think there was a single passenger who didn't applaud the pilot when we landed, and I've never heard anyone sound quite as relieved as said pilot when he welcomed us to Gatwick. He was still looking rather drained when we walked past him on the way off the flight...
That's different. Exceptions can be applied. I'm talking about the mouth breathers on Ryanair flights applauding their Airbus soft touchdown in Tenerife.
"Ryanair only use Boeing 737-800 aircraft. This streamlined fleet helps us to keep costs down and safety standards up. At the moment we have over 300 aircraft in operation and the average age of our planes is 5.5 years."

I'd have a law banning the press from publicising the absolute tiny minority of people's opinions on SJW identity politics and similar.

In Clapham's Britain, use of wheeled luggage would be punished by being put up against a wall and shot
I wouldn’t legislate for it, but I’d suggest that anyone who prefers carrying a 22 kg suitcase, as opposed to having one with a wheel at each corner, should be barred from any position of responsibility, and required to undergo an examination by a neurologist.
Even if you secure the use of a luggage cart, what’s the beef with someone walking alongside, with his 4 wheeled suitcase, guiding it by its extended handle?

FTFY. PH: Speed Matters. wink

Plus there should be a minimum speed of 90 mph imposed on all motorways.

And all persistant MLMs should be obliterated by a giant laser that vaporises all signs of their existence.

Elephant racers should have their trunks cut off.

One law isn't enough, is it? frown

I followed some oik out of the shop then other day. As he was walking along he unwrapped whatever he bought and dropped the wrapper on the floor. He was, wait for it, right next to the fking bin. I was about to say something to him but he looked like a scumbag, and not being a powerfully built stair dominator, I chickened out through fear of being stabbed and picked it up and put it in the bin myself.

I fully endorse your law.
I had just driven out of my drive the other day when I saw a group of three lads, one of whom nonchalantly tossed an energy drink bottle over a neighbour's garden wall.

Now I know I should have tutted and got on with my day, but for whatever reason the red mist came down. Turned the car round, caught up with them and shouted to the lad did he want to go and pick that fking bottle up you etc etc...

The actual culprit (an exceptionally gormless sort) tried to play dumb and innocent but his mouthy mate (an exceptionally council type) gave the game away, telling me to go and pick it up myself, if it wasn't my garden why was I bothered etc. I've been expecting to come out to a vandalised car, or a visit from the police because I shouted at the poor little lambs and used a rude word.

There's no alternative. Cut their fking goolies off.

A panel of judges elected by me would decide on the definition of what a tt is.
I second this.

My first thought was similar but of a different genderbiggrin

A colleague was caught fly tipping in one of works cars.

He was called into the MD's office and was presented with a single photo of what he'd tipped and was asked if he knew anything about it, he said he didn't.

He was then presented with another photo of the car used to fly tip; the car that he uses, he denied it and said that someone else must have used the car to tip.

He was then presented with a photo, clearly showing who was tipping; it was him.

For some reason the MD felt a bit sorry for him as his wife had died only a couple of months prior so he rang the Council (or whoever had issued the details to us), explained the circumstances and pleaded on his behalf so they decided not to prosecute but still issued him with a £400 fine.
What's fly tipping?

+1 and add not picking up your dog's st to it. Or those that do pick it up, but leave the bag on a fking tree or the like! WTF!

Illegally dumping rubbish at the side of the road / in a field / anywhere other than where it should go, most likely because it would cost money to do so.

One should have to pass a test before being allowed to have children.

Then a second much harder test before being allowed a second.

The third, well you get the drift.
My option would be that failure to choose your child's name from a pre-approved exacting list would result in loss of child benefit.

My other submission is that we have too many laws as it is. So in the style of a bouncer enforcing maximum occupancy at a club, every new law passed must go hand in hand with the revocation of an existing one.
