No Pauper's Grave for Ministry of Justice
A force of conservatism has decreed that the consent of parliament is necessary before the Government can freeze the assets of people it doesn't want to put on trial. In pursuit of the onerous duty in the Generational War of Civilisations which has been imposed upon it by the wishy-washy non-interventionists at the United Nations, the Government has regretfully taken upon itself the power to "freeze bank accounts, stop benefit payments and control the spending of people it has designated terror suspects". About seventy people have been so designated, and bank accounts to the value of half a million pounds have been frozen until some way can be found of designating them guilty without putting them on trial or producing any evidence.
