    Can I sue Tony Blair for forming a government in direct contradiction of my wishes? I didn't vote for him. Surely this infringes my human rights?

    And can I sue him for having such an ugly wife? Being represented abroad by an ugly bint has caused me great emotional stress and humiliation.

    Bring back Alan Clark! Well...not literally...

    Not much really, I just get the feeling that accepting you must kill innocent people to try and ensure you get the guilty is the thin end of the wedge.

    How long will it be before this principle is abused, where the excuse "I thought he was a suicide bomber" is used for a convenient murder?

    I find it ironic that we spent billions of pounds and many lives getting rid of Saddam Hussein, and yet we are taking another small step towards his kind of world.

    The trouble is, I don't see any alternative.

    A shoot to kill policy against 'known terrorists' as was the case in Gibralta a while back, is one thing.

    But a shoot to kill policy against those suspected, is something entirely different.

    And a shoot to kill policy is not the same as an execution policy.

    I have no particular qualms about either of these policies against known terrorists. But against suspects ... oh dear ... watch out and be careful. Be very, very careful Gt. Britain.

    I can understand this, but isn't it a declaration that a permanent UK police state is unavoidable?
    I long to see a day when England is a permanent police state. Maybe then we will see a time when people can stroll through parks without being attacked...you can use a money machine without fear of having your card details stolen and your bank account emptied and where agents will be viewed in the same light as car salesmen!

    You are a deluded fool if you think England will ever be a police state!

    Or maybe treat it like you would with a three year old having a tantrum? Ignore it until they get bored and calm themselves down.

    Then make them go and sit in the naughty corner.
