Re: Get those terrorists!
Much better than that other thread.
I don't think slippery slope arguments are particularly relevent; like your tuition fees argument, it's bad that it's happening at all, not bad because it might get worse in the future.
Blair has been deregulating (for want of a better term) stop and search powers for some time now, but for some reason it's slipped in under the radar of popular consciousness. The Guardian is especially bad for this - what it covers seems to be determined by events, not by changes in the laws that lead to events like the one mentioned above.
