Well, if you enact laws to make political statements, rather like using a Howitzer to crack a nut, you will end up with all kinds of shrapnel all over the place.
Ever since New Labour got in, with its overwhelming majority (and whom I actually voted for in 97 - never a-fukken-gain!), they have introduced stupie law upon stupid law with entire impunity as there has been no-one to challenge their power. And the Scientologists may well be "insulted" by being called a cult. Whoopee! There is a law to "protect" them from it!
The Countryside Alliance found themselves in all kinds of shit a few years ago when one of their members started producing t-shirts with "Bollocks to Blair" on them. Yes - you've guessed it! Fixed penalty fines, summonses and even arrests under s.5 of the Public Order Act abounded!
It is all bollocks.
Still - keeps me in work
