New anti-terrorism bill

16.11.2001 07:01

Life in the UK is no different today than it was before September the 11th, yet we have woken up in a Police State: Britain is to be placed under a state of 'public emergency'.
David Blunkett , the Home Secretary is asking Parliament to push through new anti-terrorist legislation which will allow internment without trial of suspected terrorists.
The bill gives new powers to MoD police, allowing officers to arrest people anywhere in the country and also force internet service providers (ISPs) to keep a year's worth of information on their customers - ie: you and me.
This "new regime" seems to be happening all over the world: America and Canada both have proposed terrorist bills on the way.
