I think it may be a moot point anyway. IIRC parliament passed a bill in the late 80's the gist of which was the if you get the excuse to declare a national emergency you can pass any laws/bills you fancy, no holes barred.
One would hope Boris/cons have an eye on the next general election and keep a lid on excessive action.
Now I'm chuckling at myself because I regularly lambast politicians for caring too much about the next election.

no holds barred
(wrestling) Without restrictions on holds or what opponents may do.
a no holds barred match
(idiomatic) Having absolutely no limits or restrictions as far as the levels and nature of one's hostilities and offense; taking to an especially ruthless or vicious manner.
a no holds barred debating style that quickly transformed into bickering
Apropos to nothing: I once had a discussion with a very opinionated chap who was convinced that a popular expression, 'top hole', was in fact 'top-oh'. Apparently it stems from the trenches in the Great War where some officer's quarters were better than others.

I went to the beer shop earlier and there was a bloke outside obscuring his face with some sort of cloth.
He physically stopped me going in the shop. "Wait" he said in a Spanish accent. I said "look, there is nobody in the shop those people are staff members". He said "do you think I am going too far" then he walked in. A young couple had obediently stood behind him I said "do you want to go in?" The bloke pointed to the 3 customer rule I pointed out it was just staff in the shop no customers and when I said "if he wants to have a sock on his head that is up to him" they failed to see the funny side.
Anyway got the beer and bacon that's all I wanted.
Nobody in there just staff.
The madness of the loons.
I have also observed some more rebellious behaviour turning up last day or two. I wonder if we will see more Draconian measures taken soon.

Spanish accent? Ask him if he has a residence permit.

Don't ya know.
Judging by appearance I'd say he was an ETA guy.
Actually there are some ok and well meaning terrorists around to be fair. everyone has a cross to bear and all that.
