Hi Paul and many thanks for your positive comments. I am intentionally biased in my remarks as I find simply trotting out the currently PC line so mindless. I deliberately set out to start a debate and am very happy to 'engage with' those who disagree with me. In fact that is in part what I aim to do as well as to peddle my views.

And yes hasn't it come to something when a qualified lawyer needs to take advice on the law. But that is the point we have reached. The 4th (brown) edition of Halsbury was 50 volumes long, the latest (black) one is, I believe, 108, How can anyone be expected to keep up with all that? And between 1997 and 2010, when a certain party I dare not name was in power, the average no. of pages in the statute book was 3,750. (BTW the average between 1900-1990 was 250 p a). So I do sympathise greatly with Tim.
