Marks and Spencer, the only surefire way of knowing if you're middle class.

Which of my posts are incorrect?
Can a baseball bat not be "useful to a person committing or preparing an act which ... involves serious violence against a person" ?

So can a ladel or a bag of clothes pegs.

With respect Zacc, I think you're mixing together at least two of the provisions of the Terrorism Act 2000. In particular, you look like you're using the test regarding information under section 58 in relation to a baseball bat, which would be covered by section 57 instead, the one that I quoted above.
Edit: the two sections are differently worded as to their tests, for those who don't want to bother checking.

I don't agree with laws which are all well and good as long as the government is trustworthy. It is not reasonable to assume that the government is and always will be trustworthy.

Yes, you are right, sorry about that. Never-the-less, my original point stands (even though it does not apply to baseball bats etc).

No problem Zaccheus. Well, Northern Ireland has had laws like that for many many years, though I haven't had the opportunity to compare the Prevention of Terrorism Orders to the current Terrorism Act. I guess we're just used to it on this side of the Irish Sea. :(

I was unhappy about those too.
