So there goes the worst Home Secretary I can think of, offhand (and yes, I can think of Michael Howard).

To be honest, I find it difficult to care much about how he went. I just think he was an unpleasant and ignorant hyper-authoritarian shit and we're a hell of a lot better off without him in that post.

yes, that makes sense that things will be pushed back, for the time being. I remember reading about the opposition to these security measures, and the laws regarding religion and freedom of speech, and discussing these with people (Britih people), and there was lots of disagreement, resentment and even outrage.

The fact that he was mostly on domestic issues explains why I hadn't heard of him when I was in Greece (and, of course, with the bus hijack, we'll hear about his resignation in tomorrow's news).
