New to the board and curious as to the lay of the land, so I’ll start with a quickie and see if I get a response. Forty two days to hold terror suspects without charge. Yes or no?
Yes.
Feel free to give your reasons, ladies
firstly it would be open to misuse and secondly in my opinion it will start the downhill descent into national paranoia, what’s next secret police, how about the security cameras installed in every home (1984 here we come)
I was unsure yesterday on this one, but after hearing a few more views on how it really will be open to abuse its a no from me.
Im pretty sure that before questioning is commenced the secret police already hold enough evidence to press on with an arrest where appropriate.
If they are unsure they just shoot them anyway dont they? So its an unnecessary extension.
Yes
Simply because if some one is innocent they are not going to mind the police thoroughly investigating them, rather that than make a rushed wrong judgement, it get to court and go wrong, and if they are guilty it gives the police time to make a proper less rushed case, and if they can hold for 28 days anyway (is that right) its only another 2 weeks out of someones life to possibly insure they are not wrongly accused as well as to prove the guilty more conclusively.They aint gonna hold them just for a laugh are they i dont see the problem
Well it looks as though the dysfunctional and humourless Gordon has won his vote in the Commons. Word on the street is that he’ll get blown out in the House of Lords so it’s all a bit of a farce inn’t it?

No, my landlord won’t mind that I can’t pay the rent as I haven’t worked for 6 weeks. My work will hold the job open so I can just take over where I left off – I don’t think so!!!
All the other laws that were brought out ‘just for terrorists’ are already taking over our everyday life. We no longer have the right to protest on public streets outside our publicly elected parliament. Even wearing a T. Shirt with the wrong slogan on can mean being carted off in a police van! This is a massive deterioration on our rights and is going to affect every single one of us at some point in the future. You thinking of driving 38 mph in a 30mph area – are you a terrorist? They will lock you up for 6 weeks till they find out? Just wait and see.
