Actually, we're going there on the basis of the fact that private-
public partnership was deemed the best way to develop a big internal
and external security industry and then the industry was left alone
without democratic oversight [1], but laws like this certainly do
help.

I do hope the current batch of thieves residing in Westminster will be
replaced by a marginally more competent bunch of thieves, because the
UK seems to be leading the way in plunging the EU into
totalitarianism. I'm not holding my breath, though.

Do we want more competent thieves leading the way into
Totalitarianarism? Surely we need *less* competent thieves?
