Re: 90 days detention
 

Wonder if they would be happy scoring points if god forbid there was another terrorist attack as in Brighton in 86? How ould that be explain especially if the police knew something was afoot but didnt have the time they wanted to stop it. If police need 90 days to stop it and only got 28 and those that had been held went ahead and did the deed who would they blame? Answer everyone bar themselves. This bunch of wimps are endangering lives of innocent people for thes points they so desperately want. I am not a fan of everything Tony Blair wants but this is as vital as your heartbeat!!!!!! :mad:

Re: 90 days detention
 

I voted Tory, Is that really a problem. :)

Re: 90 days detention
 

Not all. It's very brave of you to come out.

Do you think the Tories were right to support the Labour rebels to defeat the 90 day bill, just so they could make political headway?

There is more serious debate on this issue here than I thought there could be. Its good to see (without the hand bags wood be better). We have for against and abstentions, bit like Westminster. :)

Re: 90 days detention
 

i dont know if this has been said or not but one thing i find strange

when the anti-iraq protests were going on - and public opinion was showing we shudnt b participating in the war - blair totally ignored the public opinion.

now that he's lost this vote for the 90 day detention he's runnin to the point that the public wanted it...

Re: 90 days detention
 

All the evidence, including that from the police, suggested ninety days would be needed to collate all the information, and then to either charge or free the suspected terorrists.

If your going to be churlish about it, you might as well say that the evidence should be gathered in ninety minutes, and if not let 'em go.

Re: 90 days detention
 

the prob is that the 7/7 bombers were soo well "hidden" that british security ppl are now spooked into thinkin anyone and everyone cud b a potential terrorist. like that guy babbar ahmed - he's been let off by british police as not having any links with terrorisism yet the usa want to extradite him. his family are fearin that they wont see him for a few yrs as he probably will b taken straight to guantanamo out of us law.

with the 90 day thing i cud easily be locked up for 90 days as they trek thru my pc or search my back ground and be inconclusive. yet for that simple thing i know i wud lose my job straight away as i work for the home office.

Re: 90 days detention
 

Mani if you work for the home office then you would have had stringent background checks done prior to starting the job. These would be as tough or tougher than the ones some suspects would face.

You will just have to get rid of shoot em up games in case they consider that training. ;)

Re: 90 days detention
