UK Police State

a) up to 28 detention is free
b) anything above up to 90 days in case of lack of or failed conviction in court awards automatic compensation which starts at £1k for the first week and doubles every next week thus reaching over £100k at the end of 90 days.

Scaling up like this is madness. You'll have bean counters interfering with the pursuit of justice every week.

Same compensation for over 28 days, whether it is 29 or 89.

90 days detention without charge, Bliars regime has gone mad

I think they should be charged full board. Countries gone soft.

It if is the same compensation then they will keep you for whole period then, 3 months out of work in jail on accusation of terrorism is much worse than 1 month - reward should reflect it.

Of course the Govt will never do it because they don't want to create precedent where they pay for their mistakes.
