Why? If the law says I can complain about a nuisance, who are you to
say otherwise?

Someone who realises you should be allowed to
complain about what has been allowed for centurys.

Quite, no one complained about slavery for centuries as well.

That didn’t change because a prat like Norman complained,
it changed when the law was changed.

Yes, the law is a great instrument of social change when required.

It is the only viable instrument for that.

The Environmental Protection Act is just another example.

A useless one. If it is considered by the parliament that
churches should no longer be allowed to ring any bells,
that should have been explicitly stated in that legislation.

Churches can ring bells, but only if they ensure that the noise does not create a
nuisance.

Now you are not allowed to create a noise nuisance just because you always have.

Churches are however allowed to continue to ring their
bells and are even allowed to add new bells and even
get really radical and add bells to churches which do
not have them too.

Of course they can. If they create a nuisance, however, they will have the law to
deal with.

It's called progress.

Yours is called bull****.

No, it's called enlightenment.

If you disagree with my summary of the legal position, go away and read the law.
