I'm in the couldn't really care camp about this legislation - life is short and precious and there is enough things to make people sad/angry as it is so if this helps a tiny percentage of the population without impacting on anybody else then let them get on with it. I am firmly of the view that bad people will find a way to do bad things with or without this legislation.

What does annoy and frustrate me is the amount of energy/effort/time that both the Government and Opposition Parties have put into passing this legislation that will impact on a tiny minority of people. I can't help but feel that if the same time/effort was applied to the issues that affect everybody e.g. NHS, that we would see badly needed improvements in dare I say far important areas than GRA

^^^^That^^^^

It’s just further proof of the laziness, lack of intellect and puffed-up self-importance of some of the thick ****s elected on party tickets as reward for their rigid compliance, who’d struggle to live in the real world. Virtue signalling set to ‘maximum’.

That's fair comment and indicative of how politics has become about optics and "bell cows" rather than anything more meaningful.
Style over substance, if you will.

Though I would also acknowledge that, to individuals whose lives are directly affected by this issue, GRA is a very important issue.

To spend that amount of time legislating for something that is impossible seems a complete waste to me.
