Re: 90 days detention
The only person to come out of this well is Tony Blair. All the public opinion polls show that the majority of the country is behind the defeated measures of allowing the police up to 90 days detention for suspected terrorists.
It was bad enough the Labour back benches voted against it, but for the Tory party to put our national security at risk to try and score political points is disgraceful. It looks like it has back fired against the Tories anyway. I've just been listening to the radio, and life long Conservatives have been phoning in one after the other, saying that they are disgusted at their party for not listening to the advice of the police on this matter, and will not be voting Tory again.
