42 day detention

[snaw]

Anyone here actually agree with this ill thought out POS piece of legislation only being pursued by a bullying prime minister out of his depth, fighting for his political survival and that of his authoritarian government?


Apologies if there is a thread on this already

Nope, my single biggest issue - isn't that it's too long, or that it's not needed (Though from what I read, it's not). It's that all this stuff that goes through under the guise of terrorism is completely and uutterly abused by the authorities in the not so distant future and before you know it it's a catch all for the cops to lock up anyone they feel like for 6 weeks.

They're already misusing and abusing 'terrorism' legislation, so why would we trust them nt to do the same with this.

Actually while I'm on a rant, can the government just f cuk off and leave us all in peace? Tories, labour or liberals - they're all the same. Power grabbing, self serving knobs.

It could be worse... Crucifixion's a real bastard, as for beheading...

And your point is...(other than irrelevant)...?

Yep - one of the many reasons I disagree with it.

My point is, lighten up, if you're a white anglo-saxon then the chances are it ain't gonna happen to you.

See, with every cloud there's a silver lining!

The police seem to go from one extreme to another. First they want to shoot people in the head 7 times with just a moments warning, and now they want to lock people up for a whole 42 days without charge. Surely there is some middle ground?

Nope, more like "I'm alright Jack!".

Shoot 'em in the head 42 times?

Shoot 'em in the head 42 times?

How much head is left after 42 shots?
