A dark, evil place.
So, basically the government is stepping in to stop the government from doing government thingys. Sounds good to me.

Dangerous stuff, cheese.

ETA: I watched that clip. I'm not sure that Lord actually NEEDS to champion the cause of idiots in Britain, having seen it. :D

Agorism FTW!
This sounds like a great idea, as far as getting the nannys out of people's lives. I'd like to see this catch on over here on the west side of the pond.

But I've got a question about these councils. How are they funded? Do they get taxpayer dollars? Because if that's the case, then the people who do the stupid stuff don't have to pay the fines. They just take some of the money some taxpayers gave them, and hand it off to other taxpayers. Shouldn't it be the individuals who make the decisions who are at risk for loss instead of the taxpayers?

The size of the human brain has been shrinking for fifty thousand years, finally resulting in the ultimate expression of our reduced mental powers: cheese rolling.
