Still feel SOCA's an own goal- though not for the politicians.

The lack of interest is pretty amazing (I wrote about this dangerously oriented development recently). I had to trawl through page after page on Google News, most dripping with comic book blandishments about the new extra-police service, before coming to this moderately critical article by Neil Darbyshire in the Telegraph.

Trying to find a political party that will articulate something of this is another matter entirely.
