Finish this sentence: 28 days...
Good title that.
Why?
Cos this is about the Home Office, and in particular that useless bald turncoat tracksuit-wearing cock-head John Reid, wanting to extend the 28 day detention without charge period for those arrested under terrorist laws. It would be laughable, were it not so fucking terrifying, that at exactly the same moment this jack-booted, authoritarian prick is trying to remove the rights of those arrested but not charged, No.10 is issuing statements backing Ruth Turner and pointing out that she hasn't been charged and should be given the benefit of the doubt.
Double standards. Neigh!
The Prime Minister's spokesman said this:
"Given the continuing trend and experience over the last year, [the home secretary] now believes it is worth trying once again to convince parliament and the nation that going further would be a useful tool in the counter-terror effort."
The continuing trend is one of a sub-par set of middle-stream ministers throwing legislation at a problem and hoping to shoo it away and that's been going on for ten years at least.
