Re: Detention without charge poll

the point was also made earlier, that if the powers were to be abused in that way a public backlash would soon follow. i am aware they are selling extracts from the register,which is annoying to say the least, but does not concern me nowhere near as much as a safer society for me kids n grandchild to grow up in.

That’s the problem, there would only be talk and no real backlash.

In the meantime we slither into a Police State.

You would have a different view if it happened to you.

I'm not saying its right but like i said you could rebuild your life.
It wouldn't be destroyed forever.
All i am saying is that the consequences are a lot more dire if someone was executed wrongly.
That would destroy lives.

thats your assumption, aint mine, whilst i have not much faith in any of the parties, i think even M.P.s would get off the fence with that one.

Re: Detention without charge poll

I would like to see information about these innocent people that are being detained. Surely if there is a statistic there should be a case study to go along side it?

I'd rather have a police state than a sharia state (which is obviously what Jambutty and a few others on here would prefer).

Re: Detention without charge poll

didnt they use the terrorist act to eject an 80 yrs old geezer out of the labour party conference a couple of years ago?
we have a morally bankrupt government, why should we believe anything they say?
how about detaining a few MPs for a few months? see how they like it:D:D:D

They would not be able to tell as they would not know the difference between lying around doing nowt in a prison cell and lazying around doing nowt in their House of Commons office. That goes for 'em all, irrespective of party.

I want to know who these innocent people are? Are they just random people picked up off the street or have they been under surveillance or have they done something that would indicate that they were terrorists?

Re: Detention without charge poll

Not sure where I stand on this issue, I have no time for our government, however I also have very little time for Cameron, watch out Andrew, I have always voted Blue before, but now not so sure.

This whole detention without trial concerns me, the pilot part of me, the one that worries about being blown up, hijacked or killed trying to stop some nutter flying in to the Nat west tower says lock em up for ever. However the rational side of me realises that the true threat, will never ever show up on radar, until its too late.
So what have you achived, you alienate a group of people in our society and make them moe inclined to attack us. Not reeally 'Hearts and minds' now is it?

And we also have to realise that the way our judiciary work, they let terror suspects out on the streets under the human rights act anyway, its only a few weeks ago that Bin ladens man in europe was let out on 24 hours curfew with leg monitor and then was seen and photographed walking down a London Street doing a bit of shopping, as you do
