#2 His admission is going to doom the ban when it gets it's hearing in a law court. It is the act of denying a class of people the right to persue an activity baised on their birth, who they are or their wealth.

#3 Hmmm .... it would do so in the US, perhaps. But in British legal precedent, would that matter? Just asking - don't know.

#4 In Medieval Europe cats where demonized and reduced to endangered species levels of existence. The rat population expanded . When the plague arrived from Asia, the rats acting as a vector spreading the disease. The toll to humans was about a quarter of the continental population and about a third of England. The idiots in the isles just went through mad cow disease and canât see the value in controlling another animal population which can act as a vector. Instead by making the issue a political canard, they are acting just like the superstitious peasants of Medieval Europe. Good luck boys, you're going to need it. Oh, and if there is any related outbreaks, the government will have to step in and expend resources to do what has been done privately at no expense to the taxpayer previously. We're from the government, we're here to help you.

#5 Hmmm .... it would do so in the US, perhaps.

Actually it's very likley that it wouldn't. The class of persons at whom such a ban would be aimed here are not legally recognized as a protected class (indeed it's unlikely that a court would even recognize that a particular "class" of persons to be the target of the law) so almost any government justification for enacting such a ban would be upheld (think "pretense").

#7 After they pass the law they have to enforce it. Based on the protests in London, they better have plenty of room in their prisons and a way to deal with jury nullification.
