The government wants YOU to join in the great wankathon.
The British government have just set up a website to enable people to discuss unnecessary laws they can get rid of because they think the last government made too many.

http://yourfreedom.hmg.gov.uk/

We're working to create a more open and less intrusive society through our Programme for Government. We want to restore Britain’s traditions of freedom and fairness, and free our society of unnecessary laws and regulations – both for individuals and businesses.

This site gives you the chance to submit, comment on, or vote for ideas about how we can do this. Your ideas will inform government policy and some of your proposals could end up making it into bills we bring before Parliament to change the law.

It has only been online for a day and has already turned into a giant wankfarm. They've already had to suspend new login creation because of servers being robust.

Today the #yourfreedom site has had 1,600 users active per second at peak points.

So why not drop by and wank about drugs, smoking, hanging, dangerous dogs, parking fines or anything else you could possibly imagine?

	We don't need any more wankers in British politics. We just elected a government made up of them. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	This made me laugh because I'm reading a book on British politics where the writer (in all seriousness) seems to always come to the conclusion that it's all quite a load of wank. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Mastering British Politics by F. N. Forman. It's quite dry, actually, and he's not really saying it's all wank, that's exaggeration on my part but some bits he readily admits the political system has its flaws, like regarding public's disinterest or politicians' capabilities etc etc. He basically goes "Is this good/efficient/commendable? Not really, no and it probably won't be." at a lot of things.

	I swear, the ads for When Boris met Dave were designed for RPS fics. (I didn't watch it, so I don't know if the show was so slashy.) (Reply to this)(Parent)
