The other problem the Government is going to have will be the large numbers of people who will simply refuse to go along with it, me included. I envisage Poll Tax style rebellion.
Andy! Whatever happened to the man who says laws must be obeyed, even if you don't like them? Thank God the Lib Dems won't get into power, if that's their approach!

We are not other countries. This measure is being brought in on the highly flimsy pretext of terror prevention with very little, if any, evidence that it will do so. I and many others will object to civil rights (for me283's sake, "civil rights") being attacked - and at such incredible expense too.
Andy, you shock me! I am all for civil rights, it's "human rights" that I disagree with
