    X to doubt. The UK threw out due process a long time ago, wave the ‘terrorism’ tag and egregiously Orwellian policies become law:

    • Legalized warrantless arrest and imprisonment of suspects without trial or warrant for 28 days
    • Permits freezing of a suspects assets without trial
    • Allows unlimited imprisonment of foreigners suspected of terrorism without trial
    • Military police permitted to operate on UK soil openly, even for non terrorism reasons
    • TPIM orders without trial that permits electronic tagging, travel bans, limited house arrest, curfews and constant monitoring.

    And all that’s before we even talk about the recent Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act nonsense.

      The PAC are heroes. We should be building statues of them. No one a hundred years from now will think Labor is on the right side of history here. We should be nominating these people for sainthood, not criminalizing them.

      Drawing attention to the abuse of these powers is now terrorism. Please hand yourself in to your nearest police station for reeducation.
