"...This means that if a minister got up in a bad mood, he could decide to make laughing in public punishable by 2 years in prison by amending the Serious Organised Crime Act. Or if he was late to work, he could arbitrarily do away with speed limits by amending the Road Traffic Act.

...a minister could abolish trial by jury, suspend habeas corpus (your right not to be arbitrarily arrested), or change any of the legislation governing the legal system.

That's 700 years of democracy and the rule of law, thrown away in a heartbeat."



..Now why should we care ?


are'nt we already expected to happily accept
a few of our most intolerant unelected 'Law 'n' Order' obsessed clones
dealing out arbitrary 'punishment'
in such a flagrantly harsh and despotic manner..?????


.. if only they could be granted such power over their fellow citizens
in the outside 3D world !!!
