Those recordings you refer to were discovered AFTER the act.

You need to balance the number of people killed or injured in a terrorist attack against the number of people killed or injured on our roads or by ‘normal’ criminal acts. The latter outstrip the former by a huge margin.

It is just as tough on the families of people killed by a speeding motorist. Should we then detain all motorists that exceed the speed limit in case they mow someone down? No of course not that is silly. And it is just as silly to bring the emotive issue of bereaved families into the equation.

It would appear that so far the opinions are evenly divided on this issue and during last night’s Question Time the opinion leaned towards being against the 42 days.
