State-sponsored daylight robbery
Labour is about to introduce a law which will, quite literally, legalise daylight robbery. A bill giving bailiffs the power to break into our homes received its second reading in Parliament yesterday.

If it passes on to the statute book, any of us could find our front doors kicked in and our valuables seized.


Supporters of this outrageous piece of legislation claim it is necessary because so many people are falling behind with their credit card bills and can't afford even the minimum monthly payments.

Sending in the bailiffs is the only way the banks can recover their money, they argue.

Wonder how long before that law comes to America?
