Ban this sort of thing

Ban necro-bestiality

Under the Sexual Offences Act it is illegal to have sex with a dead person, and illegal to have sex with an animal. It is not illegal to have sex with a dead animal however. I feel it is an unnecessary transgression of the civil liberties of law abiding Britons to have to live in a country where such practices are permitted.
I am confident that under the European Convention on Human Rights the article 3 rights (not being subjected to degrading treatment) and article 8 rights (right to a private and family life - and I mean a normal private and family life) of the right-thinking majority outweigh the article 13 rights of perverts to freely associate with dead animals.
So I call on Paddy Ashdown or whoever you are to overturn Britain's rotten seedy culture of legalised sex with dead animals. Thank you.

Why the contribution is important

I don't want to have to worry about what some pervert might do to my cat when it dies.


Don’t panic. This site hasn’t been hacked by a bizarre, anti-perverted sex campaigner (not yet anyway). The above is the verbatim submission by one ‘AlanPenweather’ on the government’s new ‘Your Freedom’ website. For those not quite up to speed on this stunningly stupid innovation, the site has been set up to allow people to suggest laws which need to be repealed or modified and allows suggestions for new pieces of legislation.

Forgetting the whole point of representative democracy, Nick Clegg said that by inviting the public to nominate unnecessary laws, and suggest new ones, the coalition was moving away from ‘the old way of doing things’. When will he get it into his head that his party is oldest of the bloody lot.

‘We are turning things on its head. The traditional way of doing things is that government tells people what to do. That is the old way of doing things. We are saying “tell us what you don’t want us to do”.’

Well, I don’t want to see taxpayers’ money being spent on completely idiotic websites which keep crashing for starters.

Clegg is certainly right to say the last Labour government had gone too far in invading people’s privacy but this is hardly the right way to go about it, inviting any old idiot to have their say. It reminds me of that Day Today sketch where Chris Morris is going around asking people what the letter of the law is. ‘J?’ he suggested. In the video of the full first episode of The Day Today below, just go to 11.20 for the best bit.



‘What I find especially exciting about this project is that, now we have got the ball rolling, the debate is totally out of government’s control,’ Clegg said.

Clearly, now people are campaigning for dead dog dogging to be banned. But one wonders what control government ever had to come up with this idiocy.

‘Real democracy is unspun – it is the raucous, unscripted debates that always throw up the best ideas,’ he read from his utterly spun script, completely empty of any decent idea.

Most of the suggestions clearly come from swivel eyed, Daily Mail-reading, green ink lunatics. Quite suitably, the suggestions submitted are in green too. Most of them call for the repeal of the Human Rights Act, withdrawing benefits from any kind of foreigner, making the unemployed volunteer or else, leaving the EU, getting rid of political correctness, allow overtaking in the left line, enabling the sick to buy as much aspirin as they want, legalising cannabis, etc etc.

It's all lunacy. I have scoured the site, when it has been working, in the hope of finding a sensible suggestion. I have failed. Not one. Not a single one. At the moment Clegg is not only serving the function of being a Tory government's fig leaf but also of being its clown.

It's a good idea to get rid of some of Labour's excessive, intrusive, unpleasant attacks of civil liberties. But for God's sake, just put forward a Bill laying out you ideas and do it. Don't ask people. I don't care what Margaret from Huddersfield thinks about the major issues facing us today. She knows nothing about the subject. Leave this kind of inanity and asininity to ITV News.
