Ultimately, whilst none of us wish to be blown up by evil terrorists
Yes, but we've had terrorists for centuries, and hi-tech terrorists with easy access to deadly weapons for decades, and never had all these ridiculous fucknig laws before, and yet still manage to get away with fewer deaths from terrorist attacks than from collapsing shelves. If not having these laws will mean we get blown up,
why the fuck are we still here? Maybe because the police are forced to use actual manpower and detective work instead of just locking all foreignors up until you can pin something on them?
I just hate these people who essentially say "the police/intelligence services are fucking up - let's give them more power!" It's like giving someone who can't shoot straight with a pistol a rocket launcher. FUCKING. STUPID.
And Blair/whoever the fat cunt in power is goin gon aobut how the polcie want more power. Firstly, it's the head of the service that you talk to, and you can bet he doesn't have a fucking clue what the police really need, and secondly, of
course he's going to say that. "I don't want to have to do all this police work, Gordon. Give me the power to just lock anyone away and forget about them, eh? There's a pastie in it for you, lad." Gah.
