Channel 4 - Taking Liberties...

[thatone1967]

Recorded this on Sky+ a while ago, and finally got around to watching it this afternoon.. quite scary... Like the coach loads of anti War Protestors that were being driven from London to RAF Fairford when they came across a police check point (manned by approx 100 bib) who proceeded to take the coaches apart looking for "evidence" under the Anti Terrorist act. They finally found a pair of scissors and a couple of masks which was deemed sufficent for the coaches to be turned around and escorted back to London down the M4 with full police escort and not allowed to stop at services for toilet breaks etc. Or the man who was charged with ricin plot who had his house turned over by the police, who found nothing, case STILL went to court, accused was acquited, and the guys still has to wear a tag and is not allowed outside a designated area.
Now I know, that there are bad guys out there, and I also know that this programme was probably edited in such a way as to make the government appear bad... but this stuff is scary....

Also apparently our government has repealed a basic law that formed part of the Magna Carta, which says you cannot be locked up without charge......

Watched this the other day with my girlfriend and mum. My mum was a lifelong Labour supporter till they started bringing these laws in. It had her in tears
