    How's the Miele going btw? I'm still on the same Dyson, though I did have to spend a few quid on a new HEPA filter set as the old ones were beyond washing after over a decade.

    The majority of the world's judiciaries are founded on English Law. Before you start knocking the judicial system in the UK I would suggest trying out a few that are not so well developed, including many EU states.

    Miele is going strong as you would with a quality brand.

    Spotted this on the first page: "This list does not purport to be definitive, and readers should not rely on it without conducting their own research."

    Thanks but I won't be relying on it.

    As for the rest of UK laws, it is not without its critics.

    Indeed .... including me.

    But, IMHO, it's no worse than EU law, and at least it's Made in the UK.

    It is the last point which scares me. Having our laws shaped by the likes of European Research Group, Rupert Murdoch, The Daily Mail and the Barclay brothers at the Telegraphs. So yeah, UK laws will favour the rich and powerful.

    Or by Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott, or even Blair/Brown, and the Guardian.
