Civil Contingencies Bill Passed
As discussed previously here at Gun Culture, the Civil Contingencies Bill is a horrendous piece of legislation. It gives the regime of the day almost unlimited powers to suspend any Bill/Statute whatever, seize any property and basically do what ever the hell they like. This truly is a dictator’s dream. It really cannot be stressed enough what a danger this represents. Attempts by the Lords to exclude Magna Carta from the reach of the act were defeated and we really have no defence whatsoever against this.
What opposition have we seen from HM Loyal Opposition?
Nichts, nowt, yadda.
What chance that a future Conservative Government will repeal this revolting legislation?
See above.
The ban on foxhunting is as nothing to this bill, but it seems to me rather expedient that the Bills were enacted so closely together thus ensuring that media attention would focus on the men and women in pinks.
RIP freedom and democracy.
