OK then - what right exactly does the Government (and all it's tentacles) have to tell me what to do?

Where exactly did I sign up that these people could run my life? I don't recall ever agreeing to the laws of this country, so why/how am I bound to them? Why can't I just say "sod you, I don't agree with your poxy law" (in essence, be an anarchist).

This isn't pointed at the current administration, and is meant as a general point/query.

That's because none of our politicians do what we want them to. Law unto themselves

Are you allowed to say things like that?

Actually, a bit tongue in cheek really. I wonder how many people would be able to survive without an established system of law and order?

I fully expect there are a few who will no doubt say it would be a utopian society, and others who would live by the sword.

In my experience those who profess to 'live by the sword' are not prepared to 'die by it' and swiftly want the law on their side.

Just my humble opinion.
