Of course. But, in this case I don't have a particular result in mind.
Ban it or put it on the shelves in WH Smith? Lacking evidence one way
or the other, I have no good reason to argue that HMG's approach is
right or wrong, other than the underlying principle about obeying the law.
Part of it is what great harm is done by having such a law? The loss
seems a very tiny one.
For those that choose to break the law, the penalties can be very great.
But everyone must know this, by now.
There are others in society in an even more difficult situation, through
absolutely no fault of their own. If there is to be any priority for
getting change, it should be to help them.
