I think that we should stop criminalising people for the possession of small amounts of drugs for personal consumption and concentrate our efforts on tackling drug dealers and importers coupled with education to reduce the problem.
Giving people criminal records in their teens and early twenties does not act as a deterrent and simply makes it harder to get a job in the future making them more likely to feel hopeless and, guess what, take more drugs!
Maybe being sent for enforcable "rehab" but with no criminal record would be a good approach for people caught with small amounts?

As a reasonable and productive system I propose that we shouldn't have to dot every i and cross every t with the way our laws are written. In the same way as doctors with poor patient recovery rates, we should be able to question the practise of laywers who repeatedly get people off 'on technicalities' and be allowed to appeal to a common-sense tzar (I dont know who it is) who can overrule.

Scrap the whole lot. Its a lot a red tape which does nothing to give any of us any protection.
I am so fed up with having to go through endless questions to check my identify every time I call anyone..(with the exception of banking who should have their own security protocols)

As a society we seem to have forgotten:
a) how to take something on the chin
b) how to ignore idiots
Lets stop the maddness by removing laws with 'hatred' in the title and reminding people that freedom should cover their activity/preference but also other peoples feelings about that!

The anti smoking laws are draconian and should be relaxed. In other european countries witb smoking bans there is a much more flexible approach to the law.
– Bars and clubs should be able to designate themselves as smoking venues providing it is clearly marked outside.
– Bars and Clubs should be able to designate a smoking room inside (in an otherwise non smoking venue)
This would allow both smokers and non smokers to have the choice that they want. Similar schemes operate in one way or another in France Spain and the Netherlands

I am concerned that pharmacists and pharmacy technicians who accidentally give the wrong medication to a patient have been prosecuted and convicted in criminal courts. Whilst not wanting to minimise the effects of such an error, is it really right to proceed to a criminal trial? Surely an investigation by the regulating bodies would be more appropriate in the first instance. This happens in other fields of medical practice.

The 3rd lane should be above 70mph as same with the middle lane, so that you can have it set out as…
1st lane 70mph
2nd lane 70mph-90mph
3rd lane 90mph+
or just have it set like the autoban in Germany where its unrestricted and trust the moterists to use commen sense, the idea of leaving the 1st lane at 70mph is there are some people that do not like change or to go faster so this way would then suit all motorists.

Allow forced eviction of long-term (more than a few minutes, for example, so not your casual trespassor who is briefly crossing your land) trespass on land I own. If immigrants or travellers take up residence in my field/shed/garden/tree (as seen in press in recent months) then they should be forcibly evicted without question as it is my land, not theirs.

Currently, It is nessasary to tell the DVLA when a vehicle is not to be used on the public roads, and is going to be stored unlicenced. (by making a Statutory Off Road Notification)
If the cat tax were to expire, surely that is enough that the DVLA would be aware of this, and so would not need to be told.
It seems totally unnessasary to be required to inform the DVLA at every moment, and overly beurocratic.

Speeding (over 70mph) on motorways should be OK if traffic conditions allow – clear road and good conditions, under 85mph should be acceptable, for example.
Speeding (over 30mph) in residential areas should be made stricter with double fines/points around schools (as in America).
All money raised from speeding fines should be ploughed back into the road system.
Police/councils should NOT have to justify speed traps/cameras.
