Coup d'état

Ni vu ni connu j't'embrouille : du pur Totony Blair. Et ça fait peur. Pas content de nous prendre en photo en permanence, d'enregistrer les déplacements de nos voitures, de se créer une monumentale collection d'ADN, il lui en faut toujours plus (voir entre autres ici ici ici ou là ). Alors il essaye de faire passer devant le parlement un projet de loi, qui permet de ... se passer du parlement !

It will become possible for the government, by ministerial order, without a debate in parliament, to create new criminal offences, punishable with less than two years imprisonment. It could also, according to Cambridge law professor John Spencer (who is not alone in his analysis), introduce house-arrest, give the police stronger powers of arrest and interrogation, set up new courts, and in effect re-write the rules on immigration, nationality, divorce, inheritance and the appointment of judges. Yes, there are safeguards written into the bill supposedly to prevent this sort of dictatorial behaviour, but my experience of safeguards is that they look better on the page than they perform in practice.
