How long before they 'defer' general elections due to the 'war on terrorism'?

quite seriously, I think there is a very strong possibility they will try this one.

I for one will happily take to the street should they even think about such a move.

Is this the same bill that was discussed a couple of days ago?

Yes.

Couldn't do that - tank drivers would have to pay the congestion charge.

Don't worry I will call my friends in the Irish Special Forces, we can beat the congestion charge by sending a tousand tanks by email.

Ah. Wasn't sure if it was matrix-style deja vu or just an echo.

Maybe it's about time our Constitution was written; making sure that the proposed changes in this Bill would actually be unconstitutional. Any changes to the Constitution to be decided by referenda.

I thought we were supposed to be adopting the EU constitution.

Why? None of the other EU countries do!

I know a couple online conspiracy nuts and when ever they talked about the UK becoming a police state I used to laugh at them and goad them by telling them how much I wished this place WAS a police state!

However...with laws like this its quite obvious that you English cannot be trusted to run your country anymore. That is why I am inviting more of my kiwi and aussie countrymen to come and settle here so that we can bring some shred of normality to English communities...one where respect and understanding underpins every community instead of fear and hatred and lack of action

Just what we need, more immigrants! Reminds me of the episode of South Park with the time immigrants from the future all working for peanuts. "They took our jobs!"

My personal way of dealing with the problem is to emigrate and leave the country to the scroungers that are so hell-bent on bleeding it dry. Well, I will one day when I've sorted out plans and schemes!
