The more I think about it, the more I think the difference between a good government and a bad one is the number of laws that are enacted. Let's face it, most (or even all) of the important stuff is already covered by existing legislation, so if a government is introducing swathes of new legislation, it must, by definition, be tinkering around the edges or just introducing stuff that is going to work out badly.
It goes without saying that New Labour have introduced thousands of new bits of legislation since 1997.

Another new law today. Teachers are to have the power to search pupils for drugs etc. Not sure how this tallys with not being allowed to touch pupils without being accused of assault. Maybe they'll use tongs.
This government has misinterpreted the 'Five a day' advice, I think. The rest of us think it's about fruit, they think it's about laws.
