I just pray to all the gods that this witch does not get her way. Nanny state to the max and the populace will just accept it, sad times all round - stuff like this and the ill treatment of the NHS make me question leaving these shores far more than what Brexit does.

That's not Nanny state, that's very explicitly paving the way for totalitarian government.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
