    Blair's anti-terror laws come into force today

    New laws making it illegal to glorify terrorism and distribute terrorist publications have come into force today.
    Doug Jewell, of the human rights group Liberty, told BBC Breakfast, the new laws were too wide-reaching.

    "The problem with this is that the encouragement and glorification laws which are coming in today are so broad that anyone supporting violence to remove a regime anywhere in the world now or in the past would theoretically get caught up."
    Including Tony Blair for his policy on Iraq!
    Peers were also worried it would curb free speech and rejected the plans five times before voting them through in March.
    Actually, they were forced to vote them through.

    Now the fun starts. At last they can prosecute that old geezer in the wheelchair who booed Jack "Where-Am-I?" Straw!
