I dont think that the 28/42 days detention have anything to do with Terrorism... They just use us Muslims as an escape goat for being able to detain people.

How long before they suddenly need to build "Detention Centres" just like FEMA in the USA.

Will anyone who could "potentially" be seen as a threat to national security be detained or locked up in the future...What will that mean? anyone who just disagrees with the state?

the debate in the house of lords is happening now I hope it gets rejected I cant believe people support this legislation. This nation is becoming a prison CCTV ,ID CARDS. The government have already abused this legislation look up 'walter wolfgang' and the case were the uk government seized icelandic banks assets using anti terror laws.

The IRA were a bigger threat the current day terrorist threat is a fucking joke.

Thanks man, i didnt know about the fact they dont have any proven cases of when they needed an extended period

It is dangerous for people to be naive enough to assume that powers taken to detain people with no charge will not be open to abuse in the future.

There is no point debating that subject.

We need to do whatever it takes to protect ourselves and familes, now I don't fully support the 42 day detention without charge, but if a case comes across, where Police has sufficent evidence and need that 42 days to stop the attack (and/or future attacks) against my fellow English and the rest of the UK, then I support it.

I don't think its a case of Muslims being used as scapegoats. At the end of the day, the attacks on London and if you believe America in 2001 were perpitrated by men calling themselves muslims.

Now, I know Islam stands for Peace, and Jihad I've see as a wide topic, I highly doubt true Muslims would support attacks on innocent people, but they're are people out there that believe attacking innocents and being matyrs is a way to heaven.

This Govt. has had a bad Foreign policy
