The government is taking suggestions for laws that should be repealed.

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.

The Law to suggest being repealed

02.07.2010 01:29

Is the Finance Act 2010 and associated Statutory Instruments. These form the legal basis of all future cuts.

While it might seem pointless, the more people who object to this ridiculous and parasitical sop to keeping the banks living off the backs of everyone else the better. The only growth cuts can possibly cause is banking growth. The whole purpose of cuts are to feed the banks with our money so they can lend it back to us to finance the next round of cuts.

Replace the Finance Act 2010 with the proposed Bank of England Act 2010 ( http://www.bankofenglandact.co.uk/) which would see an end to the stranglehold banks have on people's daily lives.

Serious, Organised Crime & Police Act 2005 sects 132-138

The act is already defeated at deployment and is currently sitting redundant at the Parliament. It was found to be operating without the confidence of the public which was found in a public consultation early in 2008. The sections have been withdrawn although some consensus continues with ongoing applications under the act while the sections await removal. This has not happened despite time being available in Parliament. This 'bolt on' is specific to the last Parliament and the speed with which it failed belies its temporary nature. Consensus for its removal straddles all known areas. The sections cannot operate with any consensus due to the wider consensus involving freedom of movement, association and assembly.

Please ignore the above comment by 'criminal', he may well be wearing a black hat!
