Holding someone without charge for 4 weeks is long enough! To extend this to 6 weeks - 3.5 times longer than any other democratic government - is barmy! Imagine being found innocent at the end of that period of time. 6 weeks absent from your job for suspected terrorism? Your job's not worth going back to! And that's an innocent person. Even the police say they don't need the extension. What's going on?
It isn't a party matter, just pointing out that this is not the first government to increase the holding time of suspected terrorists without charge.
