I know this is probably pointless, but the government is supposedly taking suggestions on which laws to repeal in their "Great repeal act"

 http://yourfreedom.hmg.gov.uk/

So far amongst the most common suggestions have been about reducing police powers, restoring the right to protest at parliament and cannabis.Before some of you start moaning about engaging with the state and accusing me of being some sort of state "shill." bear in mind that It might be worth rating some of the better suggestions higher and badly rating some of the reactionary ones. (i.e repealing the racial hatred laws and laws against homophobia.

If some of these rules are laxed it would make dissent and our ability to organise easier.
