What do you think of the UKs plan to increase the number of days a person can be held without outcharge to 52?

Is it not a gross abuse impact on freedom and human rights for a suspect to be held for up to 52 days without being charged.

Is this not a massive abuse of police power to lock someone up without evidence.

Answers:
Of course it is but like in the US,Britons are sadly fully prepared to give up their FOUGHT FOR AND DIED FOR civil rights because a relatively FEW have been killed by terrorists.

52 days will allow Britain to do what the US does routinely and that is to send prisoners to other countries whose governments have no problem with the torturing and killing of prisoners,get a "confession" and get the beatened ,broken prisoner back to Britain and still have enough time to allow his wounds to heal before appearing in court.

In fact,I can just see those who are proposing this change doing the exact same calculations that I have just done.



This is not to in anyway meant to demean the lives of these innocents but when we realize that literally thousands of citizens every year are killed by drunk drivers ( 17,000 in 2005) ,killed because of a ludicrous "GUN CULTURE" ( some 30,00o are killed by guns of which over 12,000 are homicides).

To those who say it isn't the same thing ,think again.

While terrorists and terrorism creates fear because one never knows when they will strike or how etc EXACTLY the same applies to being killed by a drunk driver or a gun nut.

We don't then start screwing around with our RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS by denying citizens the right to have a gun or the right to consume alchohol.
