What a bunch of claptrap. If it's unenforceable then what concern is there? All you have to do is put every letter addressed to "The legal occupier" directly into the bin. The letters are indiscriminate and have absolutely no targeting preference on sex. This just sounds like something to make the pill easier to swallow when they consider making it a mandatory tax.
