John Reid, the British Home Secretary, wants to try and change the law again to allow the state to hold suspected terrorists for more than 28 days without charge.
The British government has already tried to extend the limit to 3 months but it was defeated. No developed country in the world allows suspects of any crime to be detained for 3 months without charge.
As I said back when the 3 month limit was first proposed, if the authorities have sufficient evidence to suspect someone of terrorism, they should have sufficient evidence to charge them. If the case is complex the courts can remand the suspect whilst the case against them is built. Alternatively, the suspect could be charged with something trivial while they’re being investigated – how many suspected terrorists do their archery practice every Sunday as per Edward III’s writ in 1363 which has never been repealed? How many terrorist suspects are guilty of breaking an egg at the sharp end in blatant disregard of one of Edward VI’s laws?
Where there is a will, there’s a way. These illiberal laws are designed to cutail the rights and freedoms of every citizen, not just suspected terrorists.
“No developed country in the world allows suspects of any crime to be detained for 3 months without charge.”
They are shitting their thongs mate. Good! THEY were the ones who wanted the immigrants in England. Fuck ’em the bastards! Let them crap their pants. Why do you think there is an exclsuion zone ’round poxy westminster mate?
Secondly, they aint just gonna have immigrants trying it on either mate. What about the English? Do you think the English are gonna take it lying down forever? I don’t! So, they have just added to their problems by pissing the English off. Just how thick are useless politicians?

Yeah of course they are mate. These pieces of fascism are being passed to keep us down mate. I think you’ll find that the English will rebel against this insult in the end. Look at what we were like a few years back and what we’re saying now mate. Two completely different attitudes mate. I see only trouble ahead meself like. Well, unless these commie scum are taken out of the equation that is. I mean look at what happened today. Blair involved in weapons deals and lying about it ffs! That cunt is scum mate. What a joke.
To Wonko, above comment is a spoof intended to lampoon and ridicule contributors to this board and the blog itself. The poster has aliases but [they] are the same person.
It is a form of sabotage.
Not pontificating Wonko but you’ve got a troll,
