It's actually a pretty intelligent law for the reason I posted above - the government would basically be allowing themselves to detain people for apparently vague reasons for a fairly lengthy amount of time, or otherwise restrict freedoms, which would be pretty useful when lacking real evidence against potential suspects for other things. This isn't a frivolous thing - it will be abused as convenient. Can't actually convict someone they think robbed a store? Find dumb shit they posted online - BAM, two years. Some guy is annoying the government, but not actually doing anything illegal? Steal his username, post a vaguely threatening message on Twitter, arrest and defame. Maybe not that specific of circumstances, but the point I'm trying to make is there are few governments who are interested in the actual well-being and protection of the citizens, and it isn't as if we haven't learned time and again that they are not institutions bound by any honesty or moral obligations. They will lie, cheat, and remove you from the situation to ensure no loss. By making a broad spectrum of activities classified as some level of a blanketing criminal offense, the control they possess over the population grows quite strong. Which, it seems, is rapidly becoming the endgame here.

Dude, this is the british government. They dont have to make shit up, their cops could beat you to a pulp of human flesh for no apparent reason. What you say might make sense for any other country of bastards, but the british just dont give a fuck about pretending.

Boys and Girls on the Internet World "What can they do?"

You could always gift them some food pumped with laxatives. Or obtain their address and put shit in their mailbox. You know, let them know you don't take their piss and let them get away unscathed. You just have to be creative and hurt them where it hurts the most and systematically eliminate them. One. By. One.

You mean like raping their girlfriends while you force them to watch?

I wonder if they ever did this. I have not seen a bunch of stuff about people going to jail trolling in the UK.
