Scary Britain.
The UK is becoming a very sad place to be in.
Freedom and civil liberties apparently mean little to Tony Blair. We already have the prospect of compulsory identity cards for every citizen, and now we have detention without trial, control orders and house arrest.
A culture of constant surveillance is already with us. Ordinary people are watched and recorded everywhere on CCTV. Other cameras read our facial structures and computers match them against "wanted" suspects.
The UK Campaigns Director of Amnesty International Stephen Bowen, said:
"We shouldn't lose sight of the simple fact that depriving people of their liberty without even putting people on trial is plain wrong."
