I have moved back to Northern Ireland from England after 10 years of relative freedom and I now remember why I left. The government was continually allowed to tap phones, stop and search and cause general fear in the communities.

Since coming back I find a land with so much hatred and distrust (especially in the younger generation).

There is no free discussion of ideas, just paranoia and intolerance. In my opinion it has been caused by the government removing our liberties in the name of terrorism all those years ago.

It would be sad to see these practices rolled out across the UK.

Cheers, especially Shatterface, I know we have our differences. The fact so few people rail against these posts either shows the truly terrible nature of what is before the house, or that it’s the most boring subject ever written about.

As long as this (with the effort others are putting in to the subject of this Bill) translates in to media attention nearer to third reading then I don’t care which!

I disagree with you on a lot of things, Lee but on this subject you can’t be bettered.

Excellent stuff.
