Guardian Unlimited Politics | Special Reports | Activists plan legal challenge to arms fair policing:
"The spokesman said the authorisation for the use of the powers across the capital had come from the home office.
The shadow home secretary, Oliver Letwin, said that Terrorism Act powers should be invoked only in genuine cases of national emergency, and warned of a 'slippery slope' towards their use as part of normal policing.
In a statement, the home office said: 'Ministers authorise the use of these powers only for counter-terrorism purposes, in accordance with the Act. "
But Dave.... the Met are saying *you* authorised the use of the act. So, who the fuck is in charge please???
