And be aware of the CIvil Contingencies Act which, once enacted, means the Government can take control of all infrastructure, enact emergency regulations overriding all prior legislation…
Brits, watch out. We have it even worse than the Americans, who at least have a second amendment… 
Our country just gets worse and worse and worse and worse
Eh, it’ll never happen here.
I’m quite curious as to how bad it can get.
I’m afraid to travel to the UK even as a tourist. I think you guys living there should plan for leaving the country, while you can.
There are waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy too many cameras in the airport.
is ireland still fairly safe? or is it an extension of UK politics?
I threw a camera bag on the floor and shouted that it was a “bomb” at Heathrow once, fortunately I was 14 or something, even so, they threatened me that they would shoot me if I did so again. It was great fun though and I highly encourage people to do the same!
It’s an extension of the EU, you won’t see a road in Ireland that hasn’t been payed for by the EU.
I’ve always wanted to do so, but I am genuinely rather afraid of the police here.
They arrest people for looking funny at them, they come down hard on non-crimes, and they generally victimise the population.
In the airport? There’s cameras everywhere.
He he, I’m paranoid, not camera shy! [;)]
I’ve been traveling and working in several dictatorships. They are very much like normal democracies, the political class only cares about getting rich from natural resources and mostly leave people to live as they wish. Even Russia is such a country. You need to worry about crime, not about the police. But some countries I would not set my foot in because of their paranoia about “security”. Those are Israel, Iran and North Korea. And the UK is advancing on that list. Aside from the police state, it seems to have become quite a homeland for crazy islamists too. And with this depression eliminating Londons great financial sector, I am afraid that the UK is soon going to be in a world of sh1t.
The “crazy Islamists” as you put it, are the least of your worries. You’re far better off watching out for the local brutes.

That is scary, 1984 style.
Well, what to expect when IngSoc is ruling under the Leadership of a guy named Mr. Braun?
Court rukes it’s OK for police to use tasers to obtain DNA
Synopsis:
Dude gives the cops two DNA samples, one from a past case and one for a new case. Cops lose sample sending it to wrong lab. Dude refuses to give another DNA sample, Cops tase him. Judge sez good work boys.
It’s a US drag …
As the complexity of the word salad unravels itself, the affirmation of the end of history becomes evident. Since the narrative of time no longer occupies itself, the signifier never connects with the signified and the result is an infinite haze of signs pointing to signs that deconstructs the infinitude of nothingness as it is expressed in the monocultural paradigm. Therefore art becomes a meta-reality in which the subject can no longer be transformed by the constraints of the Heiddegerian “dasien” and the structural and constructionist paradigm dissolves into the imagination and will of the urban proletariet. Reality itself is subsumed by the surrealist meta-matrix relative to the relativity of the narrative of ecological post-scarcity futurism, causing causality itself to be submerged in the depths of the Fruedian subconcious spirit, although this spirit is also consequentially fragmented by the post-structural ambiguity of anarcho-intuition. “Only anarchists are true artists!”, claim the post-narrative narrators of the language game in which the meta-libertarian paradigm transcends itself only to transform into statis. This claim is both true and false because the semi-possibility of achieving post-statis is rendered impossible by the textual gridlock that ensues.
Most of the EU states are preparing for civil unrest right now… do they know something about the economicy we know not? Also many popular protests are passed under silence by medias: I am not talking about the pathetic G8 protesters whose job is to provide job for antiriot police but about genuine unrest, like the kind the had in Piedmont with people peacefully but firmly protesting against high-speed railways or a few miles from my home with dairy farmers peacefully protesting about being betrayed by their politician chums (did they learn their lesson? Not a chance). In both cases police used force on what was a very peaceful rally, in both cases people were protesting against the EU and given Bruxelles (it’s apt that the Evil Union headquarters are located in what is one of the most bankrupted, both morally and financially, countries in the western world) visceral hatred for criticism this is not unexpected.
Yeah, my guess is that things are going to get pretty messy very soon.
You’re having way too much fun with that pomo generator.
