BBC NEWS | Politics | Blair defends terror law changes Stop this tyrantI have been covering the Government's plans to take away the freedom of the individual under law in this country carefully. I am so glad that the Today Programme, through James Naughtie, has finally stood up against this terrible assault on Liberty, and indeed all that makes our democracy what it has been for the last three hundred years. Blair's latest position as quoted by the BBC news web site is that he won't compromise on "the principle". What principle, the principle that the executive can imprison us without going to a judge?
We cannot trust this Governement with such powers. Justice has been perverted over the Iraq war of aggression, which was based on false intelligence. Are we now to lock up our own citizens to suit the designs of this would-be tyrant?
