This Goverment and Judiciary believe the mandate they have is to govern us by rule of law; not by popular consensus.....in the past 10 years there have been new laws "left right and centre", to the extent that one (almost) has to assume that 'everything' is illegal unless shown/proven otherwise: "what a way to have to live!" :'(

This country used to be proud of it`s freedoms and tolerance; what in the World happened?.....We are indeed 'sleepwalking' into a Police State.

Possibles

A bunch of train spotters beat up someone complaining about cameras, or trying to throw them off a station.

Similar thrown at a group of off duty military.

Another sex offender giving early release so a few more motorists can be jailed.

A camera club outing picked on.

We are going to see in the next year.

1) Anti camera nutters attacked
2) A rise in vigilanteism
3) At least one cabinet member assassinated
4) Riot started over arrest of a photgrapher IT WILL HAPPEN!

3) At least one cabinet member assassinated

Which one would you choose though? Might as well do the whole lot in one go.

A harmful one - like a local MP to work who fiddled her housing expenses.

There are quite a few idiots - eg ones with Balls in their name.

There is a useless badger

There is a yay got the job - aghhh what has happened to the economy! (He should know he was Chancellor).
