Except that it is recursively applicable.

So the provisions about new offences having sentences of less than two years could be torn up without Parliamentary oversight - under the provisions of the Bill that introduced it!

And H.M. Govt. has specifically refused to make any legislation 'safe' from this - including laws like Magna Carta (1215) and the Habeas Corpus Act (1679) - meaning that pretty much every bit of law in the UK would be up for 'revision' at the whim of ministers.
