The research into bad laws is not going quite to plan. The book I ordered arrived in the post but instead of outlining several bad laws, it seems to be a Tory manifesto. There is lots of Labour bashing with a few nuggets about peculiar laws which is disappointing, and contrary to my own opinions. I have however learnt that it is illegal to own a horse, donkey or shetland pony in the UK without having an ID card for it! I’m not sure how important that is
Whilst realising this book may be of little help I realised there was one issue that I have wanted explore for some time. A few years ago I saw a documentary on the illegal hair trade that effects the UK and I’m am sure a lot of the Western world. A certain portion of the hair that goes into making hair extensions and wigs is obtained unethically and illegally. The documentary showed how girls in Russian were sometimes persuaded to or forced to give their hair to purchasers, if they were paid it was minimal. I plan to find the documentary and begin a new investigation into this illegal trade which will hopefully inform the latest challenge. Perhaps I will have to brake the law to highlight a bad situation, rather than braking a bad law it’s self.
I have had news this month that one of the people I challenged for the April Challenge will be undertaking his challenge very shortly. I have delayed releasing any of this information to participants involved in the challenge, until I was sure what the overall outcome would be. Despite my better judgment I intend to follow up those people who I have yet to hear from to conclude the challenge.
Only two changes left to challenge me, November and December, so send an email to [email protected]
