So Soon it Begins, Eh?

Only the other day, I was speaking of the risk of 'mission creep' in the use of anti-terror legislation.
Already, there has been use of terror legislation against anti-arms industry protestors.

Civil rights group Liberty said it hoped to go to the High Court to challenge what it saw as a police decision to ban protesters using the "emergency powers".

Liberty director Shami Chakrabarti said the terror laws were "very draconian emergency powers" to be used in "very extreme situations" - but now appeared to have been used possibly to quell protest.
