also from last weekend's sunday times, an article by dan kieran entitled 'goodbye magna carta'. go read it!
some of the ridiculous laws still on the books in britain that he notes are:
1. it is illegal to flag down a taxi in london if you have the plague
2. you cannot shoot a welshman with a bow and arrow before midnight in chester, but you can after midnight
3. it is illegal to get within a few hundred yards of the queen of england if you are not wearing socks!
and, worst of all, according to the government's new serious organised crime and police act, there is an exclusion zone that forbids us to protest outside 10 downing street. read the article!
