Innocent In London

[Raffles]

I don't know if this has been posted before.

It's a diary sorta thing by a guy who was accused of being a torrorist in a tube station. Interesting stuff:

I felt more people should read it.

Hmmm....good to know the BIB are doing their job.

Personally I'd just expel all illegals and 'asylum seekers' with immediate effect, and not let any more in.

Also anyone who can't speak English (Glaswegians and Geordies excepted)...

followed by persons spreading nasty hateful things about traditional British culture.

That should narrow things down a bit

So long civil liberties.

OK so the guy was innocent but what do you expect the police to do? I would rather be searched/detained as a precaution than some er blow me up.

Well said sir!

I agree with the detaining and making sure bit, but I didnt agree with the way they handled his case, I mean they went into his house and took all the items without signing a checklist form and cataloging each item by digicam or something, and then going through his laptop and harddrives?

If the suspicion was terrorism, then looking through his backpack and finding nothing on him at the train-station should be enough, why the whole nine yards?

Because believe it or not, this new power allows the BiB to hold you until they can find something dirty on you - these new powers dont only challenge the very roots of civil-liberty but are a backhanded slap on what the forefathers of our society worked hard for.

You are innocent until PROVEN guilty.
