TS has already HTF...what if we get similar again?

To be honest, Scythe, I don't think this Government is competent enough to enforce such actions, and I'm not sure that an already-ticked off public would put up with it. Personally, I don't "do" authority (ask my OH!) and I could get very, very stroppy! However, to give your scenario the attention it deserves, I am not sure I would be taken by surprise again. Lessons learned and all that. I also live in a nicely rural area and the locals have their own ways of dealing with authority!
