    I wouldn't trust them not to abuse their powers, add guns to the mix and it's a bit scary
    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

      How has this happened so quietly? Surely it's a big change to our society that we now routinely have armed police, so I would have expected this to be something that would be debated in parliament and discussed ad nauseam on the telly. Yet it seems it's snuk in with barely a whisper.
      Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

        It's only in Scotland, so presumably it's in preparation for the civil unrest following rUK's imposition of a Buckfast embargo.

          Maybe they were previously allowed to, but didn't choose to exercise that power?
