One step nearer to having the army on the streets of the UK

The BBC report the worrying news that:
"The SDLP has expressed concern that Army special forces soldiers are back in Northern Ireland to help gather intelligence on dissident republicans.

...

Members of the Special Reconnaissance Regiment, which has been at the forefront of the intelligence war in Afghanistan and Iraq, have returned. "

Of course being the BBC, the article is presented from the point of view that the British Army was at fault for "the troubles" and that it was the British Army that was the terrorists not the IRA and their ilk.

Of course no space is given to the notion that this deployment could be a testing of the waters ahead of bringing the army onto the streets of other UK cities. After all if the Special Reconnaissance Regiment is required to gather intelligence on dissident republicans in Northern Ireland might they not also be needed to gather information on dissident bloggers in the rest of the UK? The Civil Contingencies Act is being readied for implementation by the Labour, cornered, cabal that rule us and the army is being readied to clamp down on any protests. All you fools who voted Blair in 1997, are you ready to apologise now?
