Anyone in favour of extending the security bill from 28 to 42 days?

the number of days police can hold some one in the UK without charge

There are already laws on the statute book which allow anybody to be held indefinitely in times of crisis.
The Tory's don't see a need for 42 day detention. The Government can't quote any case where suspects were released because they couldn't be held 42 days.
None of the security services want this.
No. I'm not in favour of any further erosion of our civil liberties.

Habeus Corpus is one of the cornerstones of English law, and one of the few good legacies that we gave the world through the empire. The extension to 28 days was a travesty, 42 unspeakable. In order to justify arrest you have to have grounds, a prima fascia case. If there is a prima fascia case then it should be possible to charge within 24 hours, much less 42 days. This is a justification to go fishing, and if the person being held is incommunicado for that length of time, the rest of the cell will know that they have been taken and go to ground. There is not a single person in the country that has not committed some misdemeanour that can be construed as a terrorist act under the current legislation. I have a chemistry textbook that shows me how to make Amatol, and a map of Wiltshire where there are a number of military installations, I could face years in jail for this under the possession of materials clause.

No right thinking British person should want the 42 day extension. You don't have to be a terrorist to fall foul of the Anti-Terrorism Bill - little old ladies walking in the countryside on recognised foot-paths around military bases have been arrested under this Bill. What grounds were they held on? Knitting with intent?
If you think you have nothing to hide so therefore nothing to fear then I think you are kidding yourself. Who really wants to give away their privacy and their right to go about their business without interference? What happened to innocent til proven guilty?
If the 42 days extension is passed I sincerely hope that none of its supporters are picked up by the police and held for a month and a half with no idea of the charges against them, no way to defend themselves and no legal comeback. That would be terrible.

I agree that Habeus Corpus is a very important Tenant unfortunately the police in the UK are constantly bumbling their way into the houses of innocent people murdering innocent commuters and failing to investigate crimes in the UK to any ones satisfaction.
To give these people the right to hold someone BEFORE they go and do their investigations is an absolute joke.
No one will be safe.
I am not a terrorist neither am i guilty of anything that can even vaguely be called terrorist BUT this does not preclude me being shot in a train station near you.
As for people saying any one who threatens or fair land needs to be locked up indefinitely i say RUBBISH the crime rate in this country the stabbings and shootings, the unemployment, the leaches on the benefit system, the Interpreters at the benefits office! the teenage pregnancies to GCSE drop outs this country is at threat from the citizens.
our own government has actually launched a campaign of terror on us as a convenient distraction to stop us analysing the inadequacy of the police the Lies of the government and even to scare us as the voting public to sit back and watch and even support the governments terrorising of other countries for their natural resources

Anyone who aspires to harm any member of this country should be locked away indefinitely.It matters not if they have committed the crime, in the planning stages or just supporting the cause.I am fed up to the back teeth listening to these liberal minded do gooders who go on about civil liberties.What about the liberties of the innocent who get killed or maimed by this lowlife

Only Rupert Murdoch.

If the police need to hold someone without charge for more than 28 days, they only need to convince a judge. The current nonsense is an attempt by Gordon Brown to get the Sun to say he's tough on terrorism so his government becomes popular again.

its only going to be people that socialize with terrorists that will get this problem... if they need the extra couple of weeks then they should get it, i wouldnt want to be the person that let him go and then find out hes blown a tube train up!!!

To hold somebody on suspicion, without any evidence for this length of time, no matter how serious a crime (terrorism), is a monstrous affront to civil liberty.

You need EVIDENCE not suspicion!

Nothing to hide - nothing to fear

I am!!
