One size does not fit all, not all dogs are a danger, every dog which may have any trait under new law could face restrictions or death.

not strictly true!
XL bullies are crossbreeds and Kennel Club breed standards do not exist. The government has therefore created its own specifications for the breed, which includes the size of their head and muzzle, their build, and the height and length of their body. Breed name, genetics and parentage are not considered.
The government has confirmed that the minimum height specified is a necessary requirement to meet the XL bully type specifications. The height should be measured from the ground to your dog’s withers (the top of the shoulders). For adult males this is from 20 inches, and females from 19 inches. If your dog does not meet this height requirement, they will not be typed as an XL bully. If they do, assess them against the rest of the specifications.

Kennel club says
The law on dangerous dogs refers to specific breeds of dog as ‘dangerous’. However, we believe that breed-specific legislation ignores the most important factors that contribute to biting incidents – primarily anti-social behaviour by irresponsible dog owners who train their dogs to be aggressive or do not train their dogs adequately.

so who is to blame, not the hounds, not the good owners...
~~~
vets are not allowed to advise you, measurements dont always add up, fees are high for exemption, just beacuse a family does not have cash for this does not make then risky owners..

the pen is mightier than the sword, in this case IT most certainly is.
