Government uses anti terrorist laws to grab icelands money

[Simond001]

GB and co have used AT laws to grab £4billion to freeze Icelandic savings.

Whilst i applaud the idea, surely this is illegal, and at the best an abuse of the law.

[Hedders]

They would not abuse terrorism laws, it must be lies!!

They'll be using Anti Terror laws to hush dissenting pensioners at their conferences, next.

After that the ability of countryside folk and others to stage protests might be hit, particularly in London.

They may even call for a national iudentity card scheme to fight terrorism exert even more incompetent control freakery via the back door.

Thank goodness a national DNA database by stealth isn't on the cards.

That was three days ago!

At least the Icelanders know how it feels to have 'anti-terror' laws used on them. It happens to us all the time

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!

No the government has frozen the UK assets of Landsbanki, not "iceland's money"
