Quote from Guardian: 

David Cameron to unveil new limits on extremists' activities in Queen's speech (http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/may/13/counter-terrorism-bill-extremism-disruption-orders-david-cameron?CMP=share_btn_fb)

"The measures would give the police powers to apply to the high court for an order to limit the “harmful activities” of an extremist individual. The definition of harmful is to include a risk of public disorder, a risk of harassment, alarm or distress or creating a “threat to the functioning of democracy”.

 

So is there an opportunity here?  As I understand it the Tory party would automatically be prosecuted under these proposed powers as being "a threat to the functioning of democracy". Also they are certainly creating alarm and distress. And their actions could well lead to acts of public disorder. So bring it on Cameron and let's take you to court.!!

I had a lovely walk earlier today and I thought how beautiful Devon is in the springtime, then my mood changed somewhat and became darker as my thoughts turned to the impending civil war.
