If our 'good buddies' in the EU will allow us [and withdraw instantly if they do not] a law must be enacted to bring to an end idiocy, lunacy and political correctness from government and the Legal System.
I propose 'The Law of Common Sense' which would have the power to over-ride any piece of nonsense.
For example, a person who is seriously injured in an accident might receive £10,000 in damages yet somebody who is called a name by a work colleague picks up a cool six figure sum. [Funny how they always sue the employer and not the individual, isn't it?]
Suresh Deman has made a good living across both sides of the Atlantic making spurious claims against everybody - usually based on his perceptions of racial prejudice.
It has taken 40 [yes, FORTY] claims before he has finally been stopped, when the Attorney General has had him declared a 'vexatious litigant'.
I think of the pregnant Wrens who had signed a document agreeing not to get pregnant - a tad unfair maybe - but nothing compared to European Courts awarding them £3oo,ooo of tapayers' money when they broke their contracts.
Name calling must NEVER gain even a fraction of the compensation of people with physical claims.
What of thieves, sacked by their employers who successfully sue? I could go on.
No. We need a law which takes the teeth out of all; vexatious, frivolous and run-with-it-and-see-what-we-get type claims. Ideally, it would always involve an element of risk to personal finances. This would only apply when claims are not recognisably sensible.

Self explanatory title. I abhor that nicey nicey, politically correct, pseudo-Christianity which almost always supports leftwing attitudes - which in most cases are profoundly anti-Gospel. This Blog supports persecuted Christians. This Blog exposes cults. This Blog opposes junk science. UPDATED DAILY. This is not a forum. This Blog supports truly Christian websites and aids their efforts. It is hardhitting and unashamedly evangelical so if it offends - please do not come to this site!
