Is Britain raising a new StaSi?

[Trex]

There's a period after the introduction of any new law in which basic questions get asked: "What does it really mean?" and "How do we go about using it?" and "Are there implied limitations?" etc. In this case, Parliament passed a law aimed to counter terrorism and some local soviets have found it convenient to use for their own ends. It is now up to the courts and to Parliament to fine-tune and clarify that law - in this case, can local councils use it for such relatively minor concerns?

Of considerable note is the fact that this issue has become a public one and is being hotly debated across the nation. That would never have happened with something the Stassi were doing. There is hope.
