(BTW, go to their website, stick in Miranda in their search and all you get is TV & Showbiz bollocks, shows where their sense of news is, moronic cretins)

no. it show where the nation's sense of news is.

I'm not disputing his right to whine, I'm disputing the news-worthiness of his whining. I can understand it being front page news. What I object to is that everyday since there is a "new" news item, with the only change appearing to be a one-line quote from Miranda.
There are, I believe, around 160 complaints against detention under this act currently being investigated. Anyone has a right to file a complaint - whether or not you are successful is another matter.

And again, I'm not saying it is right or legal - I am saying I'm tired of the nature of the coverage, and I don't believe that people are considering the facts.

I think the facts are being very well reported. What additional facts do you want to be taken into account?

My issue is that there is a law that works very differently in Heathrow's transit zone in regards to due processs that is normal outside of Heathrow. That should have never happened in the first place.

These transit zones are weird places legally. Because you're neither out of the country, nor in it. But I bet the HRA applies...any wonder the Tories want rid of the HRA eh?

Miranda is lucky he did not get waterboarded there or worse

I once heard of someone being arrested for not looking at the police! Apparently we are supposed to look at them and if not it is suspicious.

The reality is they are not there to uphold the law. They are the law.

A theory espoused by inferior short-arses, couldn't disagree more.
