Every dog owner in the UK would have to take out insurance against their pet attacking someone under government proposals to tackle dangerous breeds.
Police and local councils could also get new powers to force the owners of dangerous dogs to muzzle them or even get them neutered.
Brilliant, force the owners of Yorkshire Terriers to spend lots of money on the off chance that their pet savages someone to death.

Actually - I don't think mandatory insurance is THAT bad an idea.
We've got vet insurance for our Lab, but it also includes third-party cover.
However, given that most owners of pitbulls and the like will ignore this edict, just the way they ignore any other law they wish, I have an alternate suggestion which you may find appealing.

While the government curl up and lick their balls
Another example of why we need a Conservative government that has a bit more respect for personal responsibility.
And what has the opposition said about this? Because so far, I haven't seen anything to indicate they aren't on board with it.
Now grannies (with pets) have one more thing to consider whether it's worth giving up on their heating for....
Are these licences purely restricted to all types of dogs, or are there going to be licences for pet spiders, boa-constrictors and hamsters?
Come to think of it, there aren't too many groups left to alienate.

Follow ups.
