Considering this to be an ill conceived joke, not because it could
appear 'controversial', but because it lacks... I dunno, humour?
Comedy?

But it raises a good point, however.  It perceives the concept of not
dealing with a situation proportionally.

'Someone is misusing A' -> 'Let's make A illegal'.

I would argue that this also sort of illustrates Wales' immediate
behaviour.  'Bad press' -> 'Do something!'

Ironically, I think the solution to this problem is status quo.  But
no one will accept that solution.  That's what got this whole thing
started!
