The Police are now saying that enforcing the XL Bully ban is proving very difficult. Another thing they now have to enforce when they haven't the resources to Police everything esle to the required standard.

A blind man on a galloping horse could have told you this would be difficult.

The Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, enacted after a previous furore over Bull Terrier type dogs, Pit Bulls, is widely quoted as an example of how NOT to do legislation. I worked later, after he was unseated in 1997, with one of the Members of the Cabinet at the time - he was quite honest about how it came about.

Perhaps every man's sexual technique should be appraised by an XL Bully.
Maybe, rather than being destroyed, XL Bullies could be re-trained to work for Ofsted.

Not really my thing, but he does have a magnificent organ. He'd need four hands to do it justice.

My meaning was, if you read the article, the Police are "investigating" what breed the dogs were (they have been shot, I believe), why does it matter what the breed was, the owner had two dangerously out of control dogs, which killed a woman. Manslaughter charge, at least. Or would it have to be Womanslaughter, or Personslaughter?

Jaywick innit. I’ve only ever been once, but it’s one of the most deprived areas in the country.
Dangerous dogs do seem to be very much a male working class issue in areas of deprivation.
