Many regulars here will be aware of my disdain for the current Prime Minister of the UK. I have always thought the man has no democratic principles. I also think that given the chance he would prefer to stay in power ad-infinitum. At last someone else has noticed.
Am I paranoid about this? No. This isn't the thin end of the wedge, this is the thick bit. A very troubling proposal from a very troubling PM and his government.
