Gordon "control freak" Brown

Gordon Brown recently stated that he was going to protect citizens liberties by removing them from citizens. And, to keep these citizens safe from the threat of home grown terrorists and terrorist threats from abroad, Gordon Brown intends to do this by keeping these citizens in safe custody for 3 months without charge or trial whilst the police torture them into a confession. This conduct will justify an otherwise unlawful arrest. It used to be the case that the offence was committed first, then on the basis of evidence came the arrest followed by a trial. I predict that somewhere in the region of 20,000 people will suddenly find themselves subject to these new draconian powers that Gordon Brown is seeking. I thought that Tony Blair was a bad enough control freak...
