Just a little reminiscent of the US?

Police want new powers to deal with aftermath of terror attack

It's the "banning demonstrations and travel" that's more than just a bit worrying.

Canadians - is any of this happening in Canada? I can't see any evidence in the Globe & Mail. Is Canada on high terrorist alert? I'm still kinda unclear whether it's the whole Western world or just Britain & the US.

Sounds more like Banks.

Heinlein would have written, "Any society advanced enough to have ID cards ought to be left in favour of invading another one and imposing ID cards on them too"

Don't complain about Blunkett until you've prodded your own congresscritter (We might let Jodi and Gothpat off here). Takes 5 minutes, just think of it as an LJ post and get it done !

"Dear MP. Blunkett goes or I'm voting for Michael Howard - he's nicer"

Candians don't have congrescritters - we also have MPs. I haven't lived there in so long I don't even know which constituency I should write to - the place I grew up (party in charge - Rednecks R Us), the place I went to university (oh dear god, no), the part of Toronto I actually lived in or the part of Toronto I aspire to move to. (or indeed the part of Toronto I'm more likely to end up in).
