Re: Western Freedom
There is a much wider issue here - sweeping police 'powers' now in place following various EU directives.
Forgive my ongoing Euroscepticism, but the European Arrest Warrant is terrifying in its implications..........

To be honest the EU is a near facist state now - they are trying to push policy despite member state's voting "no"...
It's supposed to be a trade bloc and single currency not a political organisation with powers.

Re: Western Freedom
it's not particularly new - my brother was walking home one Friday night in Cardiff and got hauled in front of a CCTV camera by a cop who was trying to confirm the ID of some troublemakers. When the cop was told it wasn't him on the radio, he was sent on his way without so much as a "sorry"...

I used to be of that school of thought but then I started thinking.
It's all fine if you have a government that is not paranoid but the UK has at the moment and they are getting worse.
It can now, I'm assured, be deemed illegal under anti terror laws to take a photo of a copper and some poor sod was pulled for taking photos of a train a few weeks ago.
A train spotter for crying out loud.
