Easy enough for you?
Anti-terror laws represent an unwarranted and unwelcome intrusion into the liberties of British citizens.

You don't need draconian control measures or ID cards to prosecute terrorists. Detention without charge and ID cards go against everything a liberal democracy is supposed to stand for.

I don't want my details on an insecure government database, which the government plans to sell access to. The government has no right to demand such information from me, it has no right to ask for my fingerprints or my DNA. I am a free man, not a convicted criminal. The government works for ME, not the other way around.

Have you read 1984?

If you like your 'security' so much, move to China.

"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."
