Giving a government this much power, I wonder what can go wrong?
Hope the courts have enough power and independence to shoot down this law.

To be honest I don't care, no government should ever get that much power. No government or official should ever get the power to use the army against the civilians of that said country.
The government should be the one that fears the people not the other way around.

Oil tanker drivers in UK are balloting for strike action for improvements to their working conditions, the government has military vehicles and drivers on standby, nothing new with this legislation really.
