Have your say on terror laws

Traitor Blair is determined to get his 90 day limit for holding "terror suspects". He is doing what he does best - spin and propoganda.

He has urged the opponents not to "compromise with the nation's security". He said "There are people in our country now, as we speak, who are, we believe, engaged in trying to plot terrorist acts".

He also said the opposition was "really not good enough" and said he would not have got away with opposing anti-terror proposals while running to be leader of the opposition. Yet another lie:

  • January 1996 - Labour, led by Tony Blair, voted against Northern Ireland counter-terrorism legislation
  • March 1995 - Labour, under Mr Blair, voted against renewal of the Prevention of Terrorism Act
  • March 1994 - Labour, with Mr Blair as shadow home secretary, voted against the renewal of the Prevention of Terrorism Act
  • Source: Conservative Party

This is just another good example of why the British government can't be trusted with this sort of power. They will abuse it, the same as they abuse the current legislation.

The British government should not have to try and sell a piece of legislation to the public or to each other. They should present the facts and if people are convinced then fine, if they aren't then they should drop it.

There is far too much time spent in Westminster putting spin on things and rolling out propoganda. The British government are there to serve the people - not to tell them what to think or to force legislation that they know is opposed by the majority of the people.

There is a poll on the BBC News website - tell the Traitor where to shove his dictatorship.
