I can see no other logical interpretation of this part:

People find new and inventive ways of imposing themselves on others; eventually the put-upon majority decides enough is enough and begins to demand action. Sooner or later, politicians hear the clamour, realise it's a popular issue, and act on it.
Essentially your suggestion is to invent crimes for previously legal activities based upon populism. Without limits, that’s absolutely fascism in action.

Although I did make a mistake in my previous post because I almost implied if this Government did so it had democratic mandate for it.
