Sort of an interesting contrast in the news today.
Last night we learnt that Home Office would no longer detain in prison, foreign nationals who they suspect of terrorism, because this detention has been ruled by the Law Lords as being discriminatory. Instead anyone suspected of terrorist intentions can held under house arrest without a trial, oh and this includes you and me as well, otherwise it would still be discriminatory.
Just to make this clear, if the Home Secretary thinks you are a terrorist, you can be held under house arrest indefinitely. There is no trial and there is no right for you to see the evidence against you.
Do you trust a politician enough to give him that amount of power?
Today is also Holocaust Memerial day and the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. It's worth remembering that the Nazis who created 'The Final Solution', were voted in to power by well meaning people who failed to hold their Government to account.
We should never let a Government take powers, where those powers can not be restricted or tested by a court of law; the history lessons are clear.
