I can't recall any government in my lifetime that has been so ready to involve the law courts in trivial matters. Nor one so free to use the words 'anti-terror' so casually. Nor one so happy to criminalise citizens for nonsensical reasons.
A desperate, legislation-happy, near Stalinist, Big Brother state. I can't wait for the whole lot of them to go.
