Our government breaking the law yet again.

Ooops. Seems our government doesn't seem to understand it's own laws. Here is the latest example of the MoD breaking employment law.

Now don't you think it is strange that our own government who generates laws at the rate of one a day doesn't even seem to understand them themselves? How many times has the Home Office been in court lately and lost?

They say ignorance of the law is no excuse. Why don't we see more of the people who perform this law breaking prosecuted and put in jail or heavily fined. If they didn't have the protection of this lack of punishment then they would be more inclined to actually stay legal. Reid wouldn't do any more control orders because he wants to make a point if he spend time arrested or even jailed for illegal imprisonment. This taxi driver being a case in point.

I had a discussion with my dad a few days ago. We were talking about things he had heard was illegal. I laughed and said I've given up on worrying about that. I've got a spoon¹ in my cutlery drawer that is probably illegal now. We laughed but in a troubled way.

1) It is a big spoon. The bowl is about five inches long and about four wide. Handle of about nine inches. Clearly being non metric, made of some strange material and liable to encourage large portions it must be illegal in the UK today. Seriously though. I bet that if they went through any house in the UK today there would be something that was illegal or indicative of something suspicious.
