Wait, pit bull terriers are banned? I see them everywhere. Typically owned by the kind of garbage that definitely shouldn't own a dog.

Surely just staffies?

The bully xl ought to be added to the list, not that it will make any difference since the police and councils have been doing nothing.

Well, that seems more than a little draconian.

Where I live there's banned dogs too, but that mostly pertains to pugs with incredibly short snouts and other such health problems. Never mind that the police can't just seize your dog and get a court to approve having it killed.

I hate to defend the government, but I don't think this policy is that Draconian. While sad, if an owner can't control their dog and it attacks someone then I think it's a reasonable reaction.

Such horrible laws

The UK government is totally out of hand.
