 The police really should burn down houses that have been used as 
 brothels too, in case other pimps returned there. And any illegal 
 protests on public roads should result in the roads being torn up, lest 
 other illegal protests take place there.

 So those naughty ravers essentially get fined €30,000 for trespass and 
 littering and making a lot of noise. So good to see proportionate 
 penalties, when assaults and criminal damage, things that actually hurt 
 someone, result in an Asbo and a stern telling off.
