Ohhhh, I have a better one than that Mikey - a robber tried making away with a huge LCD TV in someone's home, but it was too heavy and it fell on him....he sued the family for damages for having a TV that was too heavy...Ahem, hello, British Judicial System - what was said person doing in the family's home?!!?! It just seems like logic went on holiday when the Judicial system was thought up. I've heard of really stupid laws of Britain as well...and these are true:
- You are NOT allowed to die in the Houses of Parliament
- You are NOT allowed to post a stamp of the queen's (or king's) head upside-down - it is considered treason
- And a famous one, A Police Officer (Bobby hat???) shall lend his hat to a pregnant woman for her to urinate in if she so needs to...
And I remember watching Some Crime Stoppers-type programme where it was considered a legal requirement that if you are self-defending or chasing a robber, you can only strike them on their front...not their backs. Otherwise you get the blame of the damages. That's, just....pathetic.
They should let a Saudi run in British politics and let them run their Judicial System - Get caught robbing, get your hands chopped off, murder someone/treason/deal drugs, get your head chopped off - imagine that, about Half the pikey population will have disappeared, and the other half would be hand-less. Dreaming of a Better Britain...
