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.

I would make it illegal to use the phrase “reaching out”. You contact people.

Yes!!! Contact or get in touch.

Salmon farming should be made illegal. It’s is horrible for the fish and very bad for the environment.
It’s surprising how few people are aware of this appalling practice.

fast fashion
UPF food
Manipulating, lying and cheating

Because some people (for example football/sport personnel at the sidelines) who chew gum it makes them look deranged.

Is it? In that case why are people paying people to keep pigs in tiny metal pens, chicken in sheds so small they can’t move, mincing male chicks alive, electrocuting chickens to death, slitting the throats of lambs?

1. Sale of fireworks to the public
2. Noise from phones/tablets/laptops on public transport
3. I agree about being able to buy council houses. It was abolished in Scotland in 2011 and none of the things people have posted about in this thread have come to pass AFAIK. I lived on a council estate until I bought my house relatively recently.

1. Child support docked at salary level OR added to HMRC bill of self-employed
2. Stop all taxpayer funding of gender transition hormones and surgeries - and if you go abroad to get cosmetic treatment you have to pay for all after care
3. Term minimums for MPs serving in cabinet and no major cabinet posts to be done by anyone who hasn't been elected

Yes this is really grim. I avoid salmon now.

1. Smart phones for under 16s.
2. Adults using a phone in public when in charge of children.
3. If you own a dog it should be illegal to not walk them every day.

Farmers have high welfare standards in this country. So those ppl are breaking the law if they are doing those things.

Would be strange for commonwealth citizens like me who vote every election, have lived in the uk since age 19 and am pregnant with a British child/have British husband. I can't take on British citizenship as I have to renounce my own citizenship and given state of nhs (husband paying 700 quid per month in the uk for private prescription and his company pays for his health insurance and treatments so this is on top of the 30k they spend per year), I would be silly to give up my right to subsidized health treatment back home. I have only ever paid tax here. I bought my London flat with dh after I worked here for 3 years, didn't even have ILR!

They don’t need chewing gum to look like that.

100% the first one.
This has caused the shortage of council houses and affordable housing.
Mrs T banned the reinvesting of monies from sales into new homes; now the is very little housing stock.
I'd also ban people 'inheriting' a council house or staying in one over a certain income.

You lost me with cats killing hedgehogs. Our (wild) hedgehog and our cats get on very well, I honestly doubt any cat has killed a hedgehog but I bet you're going to come back with an example. I'm out.

Edited for typo and punctuation, yes cars do kill hedgehogs😂

Cars, smoking, football

The above are all completely normal and legal in the UK.

1. Playing any music / videos anything in a public place without headphones.
2. Aggressive drivers
3. People moaning about cats and dogs

Oh yes, saw a few of these yesterday on a train trip to Bristol - my take away is that they must all have magic mirrors because no self respecting person would see that reflection and say “Yeah, that’ll do!”.

Cycling without a helmet
Loudspeaker calls within 5 metres of another person
Having a child then not paying anything towards their life

I think without those huge Lorries we’d all be a bit stuffed! The home you live in, the clothes you wear and the food and drink you buy are all fetched in by them

I thinks thats the point, the posters wants only what they consider british people in the UK, but they’re not quite brave enough to admit it.

@rubicustellitallLove it! I think we could be best friends! 😆

1 Killing animals for food / clothing.

2 Breeding and selling animals.

3 Porn access to under 18’s

Oh I'd ban costume dramas as well. We have enough and I think they just entrench the class system so people think any cultural product about posh people is automatically superior and award-worthy.
