Snow continues. It eased yesterday and Andrew was able to drive to work this morning on fairly clear roads. Then it started again and has been gently falling all day. His running club was cancelled tonight, and more is forecast for tomorrow and possibly the weekend. We are continuing to put lots of extra food out for the birds and they seem to be appreciating it. Had an interesting conversation on Facebook with a friend earlier today on what we would do if Prime Minister. Here in no particular order are my top 20 of laws I would enact - bear in mind that some of them may be a teensy bit impractical. I welcome thoughts, comments and suggestions on others. You'll notice shooting seems to feature a lot.

1. Ban caravans travelling on roads, except for when on a transporter.
2. Shoot people who fly post or spray graffiti tags. It is criminal vandalism of the worst sort.
3. Cease the revolting practice of flooding death sites with mawkish bunches of flowers and soft toys. Hideous.
4. Move all soap operas to a dedicated "soap" channel. Anyone wishing to watch it should pay a large annual fine payable to a mental health charity.
5. Middle lane hogs and tailgaters to have their licence suspended for six months.
6. A "stupidity" tax on all "sleb" magazines of at least £10 per issue sold, again to be used for subsidising mental health services.
7. Improve chicken welfare radically.
8. Combovers (a la Arthur Scargill) to be banned, along with cardigans with zips for men.
9. Improve pig welfare by stopping the import of ANY pig meat into the UK that does not meet our welfare standards which would be uplifted radically as well.
10. Reform of the Sunday trading laws - any shop should be able to open when they choose - three days a week or seven at hours to suit them, not outmoded ideas of antiquated politicians.
11. Reform the Common Agricultural Policy - actually, scrap the CAP. Farmers should make their own choices about what to grow. No tariffs or bars to developing countries so they can trade fairly with us.
12. Scrap S4C - why does the taxpayer subsidise nonsense like Pobol y bloody cwm?
13. Installing a proper fibre optic broadband system into the UK.
14. Get rid of WAG once and for all. It is nothing but a superannuated council chamber, with no proper powers and spectacularly lacklustre politicians.
15. Improve the lot of greyhounds - this could have twenty recommendations to itself.
16. Abolish the Royal Family after the death of the present Queen. A charitable foundation could be set up so that anyone wishing to contribute to their upkeep could continue to do so voluntarily.
17. Disestablish the Church of England and remove all ties between Government and ANY kind of organised religion. No state money should support any faith school and all faith schools should be inspected to the same standards and expectations as secular ones. Individual parents would be free to support and subsidise faith schools if they chose, but not expect the rest of us to subsidise them.
18. Shoot corrupt politicians, in either House, national or local.
19. Major reform of the NHS and local government.
20. Remove VAT from sanitary protection products.

There, that will do to begin with. I welcome comments, ideas and views.
