Today the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg launched the “Your Freedom” website which hopes to get input from the public on which laws inhibit our civil rights or hamper everyday life or business activity and could be repealed.

A straw poll of BBV viewers came up with laws related to hunting, CCTV alsthough one lady did want to ban football.

To quote from the site… 

“We’re working to create a more open and less intrusive society through our Programme for Government. We want to restore Britain’s traditions of freedom and fairness, and free our society of unnecessary laws and regulations – both for individuals and businesses.

This site gives you the chance to submit, comment on, or vote for ideas about how we can do this. Your ideas will inform government policy and some of your proposals could end up making it into bills we bring before Parliament to change the law.

So if there are any laws or regulations you’d like us to do away with, then submit your idea. If you see ideas here already that you like the look of, then rate them and get them moved up the list. And if there’s more you’d like to say, then talk to others in the comments section for each proposal.

It’s time to have your say. After all – it’s your freedom.”

It struck me as I watched it that over the last decade a number of laws have been enacted that act against the dignity of human life, the role of the family in society or the place of Christianity in a country with an established church.

Consider nominating

• The Equality Act (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2007
• The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008
