there are good laws and bad laws
Unfortunately, the track record of UK governments for many years has been to concentrate on passing the latter - at which they have become expert. Generally they (or the Daily Mail) identify a 'problem' and then try and ban it. Usually if it really IS a problem then it's actually already illegal, but that doesn't stop those knees jerking. So they write a bad law, with lots of loopholes, that criminalises perfectly reasonable behaviour or, if you're lucky, makes it a matter of opinion, so you can be dragged through the courts on the off-chance that you've been naughty.
I have massive confidence that this law will again live up to their record.
