Super Asbos and horseboxes

[airedale]

From the Mail today

Super asbos will include the ability to wind up companies, remove cars, freeze bank accounts and arguing with them will invoke prison and/'or fines

apart from fishing "with prohibited implements" and "fly tipping" another 'crime' listed to be included in these actions (which can be invoked by the Inland Revenue and Customs, not just Police) will be........


" companies or associations could also be wound up in the public interest - using a specific example of a company fitting hidden compartments to horse boxes which are meant to allow owners to hide their valuables whilst riding, but could also be used to smuggle drugs"

read the Mail page 6 today

so we aren't going to be legally allowed to protect our valuables in horseboxes as the companies making the lorries can be wound up and their owners imprisoned, confined to house arrest, prohbited from using the telephone, etc etc

scary

those who've read 1984 - big brother is alive and well in this Labore 'government'

b'tards

What a surprise this came from the Daily Mail... the usual scaremongering and overreacting from them... does anyone really take anything they print seriously?

 

[sillygillyhorse]

I have lockers on my lorry, especially useful for keeping goods safe but these are not "hidden compartments" so how could this ridiculous law be enforced?

It's designed to catch drug dealers, etc and the mega organised crime people that existing laws aren't apparently enough to catch them with.

as for slating the Mail - at least they don't have 'big buvver' on their front page unlike some of the other phoney toney b-liar supporting gutter trash press ....... seeing we seem to be in the mode of slagging off the messenger rather than listening to the message..........

remember the old (greek ?) saying "don't shoot the messenger"......?

or is that too erudite ?

Personally I resent the idea that we are the most monitored and surveyed country in the western world with approx. 14 CCTV cameras for every member of society and that more and more people seem to have the 'right' to enter our homes without being Police and without a search warrant issued by the Court.

Englishman's home used to be his castle (but perhaps we're right to expect that to be eroded under the auspices of our incumbent SCOTTISH unelected new labore 'leader currently off on his photo-opportunity in India')

but then of course I don't read the Sun/Mirror/NotW/Guardian/Star and do NOT watch B.Bruvver
