The government has decreed that suspected terrorists could have their assets frozen. Suspected, mind you – not convicted.

So the security services keep tabs on a person whom they suspect is a terrorist but not having enough evidence to prosecute in a court of law they can do nothing other than keep on watching and waiting. Now they can freeze that person’s assets.

Just exactly when did we become a Police State?

Freeze the assets of a suspected terrorist upon arrest and being charged with an offence is fine with me but to do so just on suspicion is yet another step too far.

Little by sneaky little our civil rights are being eroded and the Orwellion scenario looms ever closer.
