Frank Zappa used the term "Drool Britania" to describe the government in the UK. I think he was right. Next thing you know, it will be considered assault to hold your finger like a gun and say "bang". (If it is not already.) Zero tollerance requires a zero IQ.

Some toy guns could be made illegal if the government goes ahead with its intention to ban replica firearms.
Home Office minister Charles Clarke revealed that such a move was possible when he spoke at an exhibition of seized fake weapons, which included imitation Uzi machine pistols and an SA-80 assault rifle.
Such replicas can be bought in shops or by mail order and are frequently used by criminals.
The minister said replicas posed a "real threat" to society.
