What are the chances of confiscation by the government?

It would seem to me that 'anything is possible' with regard to what our ruling class might do. In my opinion, for what it might be worth as a newcomer, it is very advisable to work within the framework laid down and to keep a very low profile and go about ones daily life in a 'normal' fashion. It would appear that this gives any individual of moderate intelligence and ability more than enough scope to achieve what they set out to do. In the recent riots book shops were not raided by anyone - become a bookshop, be of no interest to anyone, keep your head down and just get on with getting on. No intended disrespect to book shop owners - you do a fine job - keep up the good work!!
