Don't worry everyone!
The Government's going to give itself the power to veto judicial rulings that it doesn't like. Hurrah!

The Observer says a leaked letter to Home Secretary John Reid suggests creating new laws which would allow the government to veto court rulings.
It follows a judge's decision to block the deportation of nine Afghans who hijacked a plane to Britain.
Civil rights group Liberty said plans to change the act were "sinister".
Mr Blair - who called the decision to allow the hijackers to stay "an abuse of common sense " - told Mr Reid change was needed to "ensure the law-abiding majority can live without fear again".

Even better, David Cameron would repeal the act anyway! So we really have nothing to worry about! Yay for democracy and the basic freedoms!
