Govt Trying to Increase Detention Time (Again)
Hasn't the Government tried before to increase the length of time that innocent people can be locked up for? And now they are trying again with a different number of days. If they lose this, are they going to pick another random number and try again?
I'm glad the Government is wasting time on this. Terrorism is obviously the most important thing in ther world - it kills more people, causes the most dissatisfaction, and costs the taxpayer the most money out of any other issue in the world.
Thankfully a lot of MP's can see all the major issues with the whole argument, the main one being that there is not a shred of evidence that it is needed! As Home Secretary Jacqui Smith admits herself, "there is a weight of opinion that we may well be getting to the point where 28 days will not be long enough". That's all it is: opinion!
