Britons are forbidden from disturbing packs of eggs and from selling game killed on a Sunday, it was revealed by an opposition MP who condemned ministers for introducing ridiculous laws.

I love the way the article was keen to point out that the photograph of the eggs was taken by a US artist, so as not to run a-fowl of the law.

I must look into what actually constitutes "disturbing a pack of eggs", for my own law-abiding peace of mind. Would making an omelette be unlawful?

Just more proof that Wacky Jacqui has indeed completely lost the plot.
