A local council in England has apologised for mistakenly banning a few types of people from standing for local office. They now say that they were quoting from a law passed in the mid 18th century and that idiots and imbeciles are no longer banned from standing for local councils.

I could have assured them that the law was no longer in effect--just look at local government throughout the United Kingdom if you need proof.
