You are given the power to make three things illegal. What would you choose?

@cadburyegg very good point about child maintenance. The system is a disgrace and seems to be engineered to facilitate anything but child maintenance.

the three things I would make illegal are:

• allowing abusive men to use the family court to carry on terrorising women and children.
• being able to buy second and more homes and turning them into hmos
• electric cycles and scooters hurtling around housing estates, parks, children’s play areas, shopping precincts. Absolutely lethal vehicles quite capable of wiping out a child or other individual.

Eating with your mouth open
Sniffing
Spitting

1. Parents allowing kids to be unruly/loud/in people's faces in public areas. If your kids bothering other people in any way and you can't stop them/teach them, then you and the kid get out of there.

1. Dogs being off leads in public places. Designated off lead areas exist, but strictly no dogs off leads outside these areas.

1. Mandatory office attendance or any travel for jobs that can be worked from home. It's stupid and the people who demand it are idiotic control freaks who need to get other themselves... Or just want to justify spending stupid money on renting/buying office space I guess.

1. Pet dogs
2. Ed Milliband
3. Mass immigration (both legal and illegal)

Ooh that's a good one!!

2 Dogs off the lead in a non-designated area
3 Scrunch-bum leggins

Well, that’s just fucking stupid.

Posting photos/videos of under 18’s (including your own) online in any capacity.

1. The police

1. People who police others

1. People who wish they could police others

I grew up on a council estate. My parents had their same council house for 50 years.
Not a revolving door.

Accompanied by white ribbed sports socks pulled up high and some sort of cropped puffer bonnet jacket and a face loaded with makeup including massive laminated brows, false eyelashes and a scowl.

Parkrun walkers starting at the front causing a pile up/bottle neck

Buggies at parkrun

Dogs at parkrun (I say this as a dog owner who once took dog to parkrun - v bad idea. Dangerous for all)

1. Smartphones for under 14s
2. Not paying child maintenance, get rid of the loopholes that currently exist (self employment etc). The whole system needs a shake up
3. Vaping unless you have previously smoked

Sending children to school in nappies!

If they do start in nappies, schools should be able to automatically claim some additional money per child (via a simple tick box form) to enable them to employ someone to support with changing nappies and potty training.

Can I add overpolitness when I’m pulling out of the drive? People will stop and want je to pull out but 99% of the time they are blocking the way I want to go. Just keep driving and get out of the flipping way!

I agree wholeheartedly with the leggings haters you seldom see anyone who really looks vaguely okay in them.
Also lip fillers! I'm getting disturbed and distracted by the number of friends and acquaintances who have lately morphed into ducks!
Also if you are a responsible cat owner you should be maintaining a clean cat litter tray, no self respecting cat will like using a dirty tray and will prefer to go outside.

Fathering a child without the means to and intention of supporting them.
Paying the highest earners in any company or organisation more than 5 times the amount of the lowest earners.
Inheritance to a single beneficiary in excess of £500k.

1). Not paying child support, including fiddling your income, going self employed etc to avoid paying it. You create a child you pay for the child. Every child you produce not just the do over kids you had when you decided you were ready to be a father. Yes I said father not parent. Not sorry.

2. filming an autistic /ND person \child in distress without their consent and broadcasting it without their consent, unless to privately show to a medical professional or similar with 'the aim of getting specific support.

3. electric scooters

Most of the things that bother me are illegal and people do them anyway!

but off the top of my head -

Taking longer than a week to get a doctors/dentist appointment

Dismissing women’s health issues as anxiety

Companies/devices not answering the phone within five minutes and it has to be an actual person not a machine.

1. cats shitting in other people’s gardens…. should be culled on the spot
2. children sitting (worse still, standing) in shopping trollies…banned from all supermarkets
3. buskers/ street performers using amplification…instant 10 yrs solitary!

I've got loads. These immediately stand out:

1. Piercing your baby's ears.
2. Make it illegal for mortgage lenders to ignore rental payment history
3. Make corporate tax avoidance illegal

And if I could have a fourth then unpaid internships.

Only allowing three things to be made illegal.

I understand the concern regarding birds. We have lots of hedgehogs I have never seen them the slightest bit bothered by cats. I have seen both hedgehogs and cats happily munching hedgehog food together. Endangering rodents do you mean mice and rats? They can endanger those furry bastards as much as they like. I don’t have a cat anymore but loads where we live we have a large garden and I like to see various cats pottering about.
