WE are heading for a police state and day after day basic and fundamental human rights are being taken away.

What happened to the democracy this nation was founded upon? Now Ministers are upping their controlling powers over all people by giving themselves the authority to stop any public gathering which they see fit, at any time, without any democratic say.

Every minority group should be up in arms about this, as it is the greatest present danger for human rights and freedoms in the UK.

Once made law no government will repeal it and any government can abuse such power. Being part of a minority group, I see such goings on already.
