My favourite part:
 
"A spokeswoman for the Home Office said the law was not specifically 
intended for photographers and concerns about how it would be used were 
speculative. It would be the job of the police and the courts to interpret 
the law."
 
Looks like Orwell was only out by a quarter century.
 
Any country who give their police the right to "interpret the law" is doomed 
to absolutism.
 
Protest this vocally... while you still can!
