I cannot believe the 42 day detension bill got passed. I really shouldn't be surprised by anything this government does any more. Labour is dying and doing anything it can to clutch onto power, including playing on people's fears, and the Conservatives are now just a clone.

Whatever happened to human rights, diginity and a fair trial? I guess those things have to be scarificed in order to make our celebrity-hungry, mass-fear community safe. Britons are supposed to be rational and level headed.

I just don't understand how *anyone* can claim this is a good idea. if it takes this long to get evidence on someone, the police and government aren't doing their jobs. You count in the intension pyschological truauma suspects go under, most will end up confessing anything. the really hardened terrorists won't be stopped by an interogation, because they are a fanatic and believe they're right. Maybe if this government or the torries actually got their heads out of the arses, and started to improve the country and stop bombing other countries than it might just reduce some of the people wanting to kill us.

I'm just so ashamed to be British.
