Back in the eighties, Britain faced a far more potent and capable terrorist threat than anything the islamoloons have so far proved to be. The Provisional IRA murdered hundreds of people both across the water and on the British mainland. It had even managed to strike at the heart of the government not once but several times. Despite all this the anti-terrorist legislation of the day only permitted detention without charge for 7 days. What’s more, the law had to be reviewed and renewed each year by both houses of parliament.
At each renewal the socialists would vote against the law “on principle” specifically because it permitted 7 days of detention without charge and they saw that as excessive. Yet those same socialists are the very people are now determined, come what may, to grant themselves the power to lock people up for six weeks without any charge being brought.
For 10 years they have pushed and pushed and pushed for detention without charge.
I think any logical person has the right to ask one, simple question: “WHY?”
I don’t know about anyone else, but I have yet to receive a satisfactory answer to that one.
