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

[SpringSunshineanddaffodils]

I know people will post silly things that irritate them but think seriously. What three things would you make completely illegal right now?
Here's mine:

1. The right to buy your council house
2. Owning more than one property.
3. Not keeping your cat contained in your own home. With hefty fines if it is caught killing any wildlife.

Alcohol, cigarettes and pornography

People that don’t like cats
People that start crap threads like this on a Sunday
Men in women’s single sex spaces….oh wait

I totally agree.
I have said this for years.
Testing on criminals should be part of your punishment if you break the law.

Also for 2, all those Islamic schools which go largely unchecked.

What about the whole thing of cruel and unusual punishment?

Sign me up as someone else who can't stand this phrase. I can't explain why, but it makes my skin itch!

People who suggest this in my experience don’t actually understand the drug testing process.

OMG - yes chewing gum and standing their looking and sounding like a masticating cow

eating with you mouth open

and the word "like"

It’s only one of the cats with an allergy which came later in life for him and because it was only one person feeding him. Yes in fact I do - my own garden and not far beyond that. Caught a neighbour twice trespassing to give the cat treats before we managed to ask her to stop. The cats roam freely and we’ve lived here with the same neighbours for years and it’s only been a recent issue.

1. Smart motorways
2. Data gathering from cookies, phones etc
3. Very strong agree about the sale of council houses! Very strong.
4. I want to add one about closing some of the existing tax loopholes that allow the very wealthy and wealthy corporations to avoid paying tax

oh and "gentle reminders" - it is not gentle you are pissed and want it done -so grow some and say it.

This is horseshit. We've had cats and birdlife and small mammals co-existing for thousands of years. The decline in birdlife and insects is down to pollution and the destruction of hedgerows etc to build 24-hour Asdas.

It would be illegal not to neuter your cats and dogs, unless you pay a big licence fee which would be tightly controlled.

All battery farming banned.

Fines for saying in public I was sat/stood

Agreed! I make concious effort at work to not use corporate wankisms
"circle back"
"touch base"
"reach out"
And so on

Posting untruths on social media as facts (must carry a warning like this view is extremely biased and not true at all on it)

Vaping

Student loans at 6% interest *(should be at 0% interest or no loans at all).

1. Infringement of privacy. Government access to our private data( banks, social media , etc) without a court order
2. Politicians who are not delivering / who caught lying once, who are not prioritising first the well being of the nation they were chosen to serve, who have second jobs, who got public disapproval rating -40.
3. Disrespectful behavior towards others in public which includes no loud speakers on public transport, no blocking exit on public transport if it’s not busy and you are not about to exit, no pushing, etc

Death penalty for those who don't believe in climate change
Would deal with many issues at once

I agree.

Totally agree

1. If you've got a small car, it would be illegal to park it so far back in a parking space that I am fooled into thinking there's a free space. The front MUST be on the front line...
2. Those ridiculously high shelves in supermarkets that only people of 6ft plus can reach
3. Fake grass

1. Illegal to vote Reform or any other racist facist party ( I understand everyone has their own opinion, this is mine)
2. to driver slower than the speed limit on the already too slow British motorways ( After living abroad for several years, it is hell driving in the uk motorways every day)
3. phone calls/music on speakerphone in public

Enjoy!

what anybody could have a mortgage regardless of if they could pay it back?

That’s very true! All healthcare should be free and accessible to all no matter where you live. Putting your child on as content is a good shout, I think that’ll get looked at more as the first generation of influencers children continue to come of age.

1. The person at the top of an organisation can only earn x7 the wage of the lowest paid person
2. Companies that make their money from fossil fuels have to immediately pivot all their research into green alternatives
3. Complete ban on creating audio content that includes any sort of chewing noises. If conversation is supposed to be happening over a meal, and this is completely integral to the plot, they should simply occasionally make reference to the quality of the food or the ambiance of the restaurant
