It is heart warming to see the efforts Brighton and Hove City Council is making to assist our Glorious Leader in his continuing war against civil liberties.

Drinking on the streets, smoking in public places, driving a car - where will it end?

The granting of powers to the police may, however, be a slight surprise to any O-Level law student, who could have told of the statutes concerning drunkenness in a public place (it's illegal, chaps.)
