Quote:

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has announced plans to extend the period that terrorism suspects can be held without charge for up to 42 days.

In an attempt to win over critics, it is planned to give MPs a role in any decision to let police hold suspects for more than the current 28-day limit.

I love that paragraph - as if political involvement in some way improves it. Does she genuinely not realise the nightmare of a politicised police force with powers of internment?

She does, but it's the morons who have been scared into submission that are the ones not getting it.

History should be enough for people to see what is going on here, but fear always seems to trump it.

I wonder what would happen during the long summer recess - recall Parliament because some poor soul has been kept in prison - nah!

It's all creep, creep, creep which works both positively and negatively, meaning, that if you have enough votes on any particular issue the required result will eventually be arrived at.

The definition of terrorism covers the issue in the attachment below:-

There are about 130 victims in the Uk and on UK TV sex oddity:3001 a few months ago a neuroscientist said we would all be wired up remotely in the future. We will be if people don't fight against this problem.
