i think the main point to take away from this
is that the government is continuing to pass laws which are unlikely to make us any less safe fro terrorism yet lessen our freedom. The great thing about UK law as opposed to, say American law is that we are allowed to do anything at all as long as there is no law against it (while the US law system is based around a idea of rights; anything outside of those rights is illegal).
Therefore these laws are chipping away at the precious freedom under the premise that they make us safer. Ask yourself, does this make you feel safer? Do you feel more free?
