Chris Huehne, who on a couple of occasions has been in danger of giving the Liberal Party a good name, reminds us that since Labour came to power in May 1997 they have introduced roughly one new offence per day. These include causing a nuclear explosion (pity I missed the chance when it was still legal) and disturbing a pack of eggs when ordered not to by an authorised officer.
This is an aspect, and an important one, of the sort of society Britain has become. Egg inspectors, dustbin searchers, CCTV watchers, wheel clampers, busybodies and petty fascists. This is where to start, Mr Cameron.
