Nothing like a bit of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt to help spin the propaganda Does anyone actually believe this stuff anymore?

I'm surprised he's not keeping a lower profile. Has he run out of Brazilians to shoot?

A relative of mine works in the Anti-Terror Squad, and believe me there's a lot more going on than has been reported in the media.

I'm sure there is. That doesn't mean that there is justification to hold people for more than 28 days without any charge whatsoever.

How many people have actually been killed by terrorism in the UK in the last five years? 4/5 people a year are struck by lightning and killed.

No you're absolutely right. Reducing civil liberties and turning the people against the establishment is basically doing the terrorists job for them.

There's about 100 deaths a year in police custody, quite shocking really.

As is zooming off like a runaway train and shooting people without first establishing if it's the right bloke.

Observing our Police and zipping around in a panic has done more damage than if another bomb had gone off.

That copper in chief is a an ambitious crawler and I would not trust him as far as I can spit, and I am not practised in that either.
