Barmy!

.
I wonder sometimes whether there is a group of civil servants whose sole job is to sit and dream about introducing cockamamy laws. The new Vetting and Barring Scheme is a case in point where a thoroughly useless law is introduced requiring yet more civil servants to administer it.

So I’d like to know who dreamed up the latest wheeze from this wretched, wretched government who now to propose that all cars must be insured regardless as to whether or not they are being used or even stored on private property. The maximum fine for this latest ‘crime’ will be £1,000.

I can think of some new laws: restricting governments to a maximum of four years before calling a General Election, making ministers accountable in law for unfulfilled promises, barring unelected people from holding a ministerial position, restricting MPs expenses ... oh I could go on for a long time.

But one law I’d bring in would be to get rid of the civil servants who keep dreaming up these ridiculous laws!
