What can we do though?
I also heard about th eLabour party member who was taken aside earlier this morning and had the pictures he had taken deleted, the fact that the pictures were supposedly of queues..
To hold someone under teh terrorism act is ludicrous, absolutely a flaming joke. Ah it's beyond words, it really is.
I dont often post in P & D and i'm not one for politics but this really got my back up
you could end becoming realy deluded ...thinking you live in an open and free society cos your allowed your two penny worth on the interfuckingnet.
i am livid ...
thats the bit the aware people keep shouting about ...
i suppose it could have been worse ...he could have a head full of bullets ...
Oh yeah missed this Fair enough. Has the MP got an apology too do you know? It's paranoia mainly, I don't think there's any secret Labour plot to act like oppressive twats at the conference. Although with stuff like heckling I think the rules have changed...It used to be part of it but it doesn't seem to be anymore.
I think this proves we have no freedom of speech now. Oh well, maybe they can now do the same to the conservatives in the commons! Hehehehe... brand them all as terrorist and lock them up!
Wow. Totalitarian state, here we come! May I be the first to say:
Country or Death!
if i shout ...i get chucked out.
if i dare teach my children what i believe ...i'll get my kids taken off me by the likes of aladdin.
I joined up with the green part over here in the states, got myself on a watch list!
That wouldn't achive anything to be honest (unless loads of other people did as well, which is unlikely)
I notice also that a Labour MP tried to get them to debate Iraq but failed.
The most important event of the last parliament and they won't even debate it at their conference, I wonder why......... :chin:
What sickened me was the police arresting him, the police, the force which is supposed to be seperate from the State.
Bollocks
Now you could argue they were tough in throwing him out and it probably did more damage than letting him continue heckling. But people don't always think through the consequences of their action and make bad calls.
And the police didn't arrest him. As his badge had been confiscated they refused to let him back. Now it whichever policeman cited anti-terrorist legilslation as the reason why is a bit stupid (he was an 82 year old man for God's sake), but he wasn't arrested, charged or even detained as a terrorist.
About this? There are many many other better reasons.
as i and a few others here said it would be, as it removes the need for real investigatory work which is what the police are supposed to do
if a different view is seen as 'terroism' what will happen to all non newlabour political parties or will they just merge with new labour
I am not surprised by every poster`s surprise.Why not open your eyes?Start by reading the following FACT

Same chap that said:
"Khrushchev should get a one-ton medal."
Well, I suppose he's right about the second. And with what the so-called "Civilised Democratic Capitalist West" is doing out in the Middle East, the First looks increasingly true. I suppose Bush must follow Stalin's school of though:
"Everyone imposes his own system as far as his army can reach."
