Interesting common sense reaction to this proposed bill from The Secret Barrister. A waste of valuable Parliamentary time, contempt and ridicule is the best response to these pathetic creatures, not spending a fortune on prosecuting them and putting them in already overcrowded jails.

Yes, more laws. Aargh! If they pass this one, where does it end? Do we then need more laws making it illegal to pretend to be a doctor or airline pilot to impress someone (Not talking about treating patients or flying an aircraft without qualification which are obviously already illegal)
Aside from which, a glance at some of the genuinely sad cases, shows pity and mental health care is probably more appropriate than prosecution.
