conservative MP denounces Uk police state

[SantaClaus]

So you think the police have the right to make up laws and tell people they can't take photographs of our architecture?

How many people with German sounding accents have terrorised this country in the last 20 years?

Oh and don't forget you are now legally not allowed to take a photograph of a policeman whether you are a foreign tourist, spending your money in this country, or normal citizen.

I bet if a muslim in a bhurka took photos, the police would be too scared to delete the photos under politically correct hysteria rules.

I'm sure you believe it because it's in a paper. However, the police do have the right to restrict or monitor photography in reasonable circumstances.

So not getting onto the point if they were maybe a little bit over the top, they did have the power to delete those photographs. I ask you this though. If it had been two muslim tourists from Pakistan with big flowing beards taking photos of the London transport system do you think there would have been a huge outcry?

So people from other countries shouldn't be entitled to hold and express an opinion?

That's not very British at all.

Not at all, but if people from other countries take great delight in stating how much of a failed state this country is then I'm quite happy to show them the way to the airport so they can go back to their own shining light of a society. I mean, if our country’s so bad why stay?

With naive idiots like you living here, it is indeed a very good question.

Naive? Hah. I really am not naive pal. I guarantee you I am far more street wise than you.

Idiot? Well I suppose that's subjective isn't it. You're welcome to your opinion.

....and I rather suspect I am not the only one who holds it.

Doesn't bother me, I'm not on this site to win friends and influence people.

I do refer you to that saying though:

'It is a general rule that the person who resorts to insults is the one losing the logical argument.'

It's a shame that you don't adhere to that rule yourself instead of losing your rag every time somebody disagrees with you.

That's a nice and easy one to test. Buy an old bhurka off Ebay and take a trip up to whitehall for some photography. I'm benching at the moment so can afford a short spell inside

It wasn’t a disagreement. You're a repugnant little **** who came on baiting people from Liverpool who quite clearly were upset after the Hillsborough memorial. Some things are off limits.
