Re: Detention without charge poll
I will vote - if you can explain to me WHY so many innocent people are being detained.
Your figure of 50% indicates that 50% of people are innocent when in fact, that is not necessarily true, they are released but does that actually mean they are innocent?

Ok, what about if Myra Hindley was still alive?
She'd served her lawful sentence, would you and Dickie Davis be pleading for her freedom?
Or is some freedom different from other freedoms?

Why did a huge amount of people change their mind once we had a public debate in the last month?

I would think he would make a better defence lawyer for terrorists. He's gullible enough to fight their corner and beleive everything they tell him.

if a fanatical tory thinks its a bad idea to investigate fully any individual suspected of been a terrorist should i be assuming that tories dont want terrorists caught ?
i bet you any amount of money if cameron suggested 1 year detention without charge he would be right behind the idea

Not silly.
A fair question.
In law she had more than served the sentence for the crimes she committed.
Would you be campaiging for her release, because her freedom was important?

I talked to Rachel North, 7/7 survivor. She said 42 days would not help because it was not needed. She said doing what we've done increasing the detention is doing the terrorists job for them. All they want to do is take our freedom and they're suceeding unfortunately.

Quite simply because the legislation allows anyone to be detained without any evidence at all. They can be detained for the whole period 'just incase' some eviendence were to come to light. I don't think its right to do this to innocent people, it should just be terrorists punished.
They're as innocent as anybody else who is arrested and then let go.
