Sounds to me like the UK is either stupid or corrupt.
UK has very old laws. Some of them are like a thousand years old. It never had a revolution, so a lot of dumb shit got stuck. For example, if your house is near a church then you must pay the church for their building maintenance, lol.
When there's nothing a country can do about pieces of paper written on a thousand years ago, the legislative process is pretty well invalid.
Well yeah, but we have free medicine, worker rights, paid holidays and other things Americans call communism.
