So we are going to get a law that enables the police to prevent a protest if they even *think* it might be disruptive. That's a nifty way of keeping any protests so nice that they don't embarrass the Tories by getting on the front page. In addition, you may have your right to strike scuppered if it's deemed that you must work to provide "minimum service levels." In other words, your strike won't have any impact, and if you don't comply you'll be sacked.

These are incredibly insidious moves - and it's not putting it too strongly - towards totalitarianism. And we don't even have to mention that this self-same bunch of incompetents have themselves failed to provide "minimum service levels" in schools, the police, hospitals and the ambulance service for over a decade...
