Re: new concession for terror bill.
I've just voted on this. To be honest, I share Rindys view from a bit back, if theres ANYTHING we can do to stop the atrocities of London, or Manchester Or Warrington, or wherever, we should do it.
We have a police force where the majority of the time, they will only act on strong suspicion and not just arrest and detain any person that walks down the street. Yes there are have been some well publicised cock-ups but for the main, hey have been doing there job in ensuring that we are safe.
As far as I'm aware, the compensation scheme for wrongful detention under the terrorism act has never been used, implying that so far, everyone arrested and detained has been guilty of something.
If it stops loss of life, 42 days is nothing. In fact, putting it in the extreme, if you spoke to anyone here, and gave them the option of a number of people dying or becoming injured, or being locked up for 42 days, I'm sure they would voluntarily go into detention to save lives
