"Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges. (The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.)"
Cornelius Tacitus - (55-117 A.D.)
Senator and a historian of the Roman Empire.
Source: Annales (1st century A.D.)
Worth bearing in mind when one considers the plethora of new laws enacted by the New Labour government since 1997.
