Britain's unrepealed laws have reached such staggering proportions that the Home Office has had to employ a supercomputer to run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to charge and then immediately pardon all offenders. Unknowingly, every man, woman and child in England and Scotland breaks 147 laws a day on average. In Wales, this figure rises to 1586, but most of the additional offences are for breaching laws that were designed to stop the use of the Welsh language, related to spitting in a public place.
