If you could expand a little on this I'd be grateful, as I've personally experienced no limitations on my freedom since counter-terrorism came so overtly to the front of the governments agenda, nor have I been subject to any treatment that could be described as oppressive.
Also, as far as I can tell reform is continuing in exactly the same way as it always has in this country; slow and steady. There's nothing incredibly radical about this bill, and it by no means represents the "overturning" of 800 years of law and tradition.
