Brown told detention is excessive and out of step
Europe's human rights commissioner is to write to Gordon Brown this week warning him that the proposal to detain terror suspects for up to 42 days without charge is an "excessive" measure that will put Britain "way out of line" with the rest of Europe and will prove counter-productive.
It is all very well Brown saying the government will listen, when clearly on this issue it is not listening. I have just been told that Brown has pinned his colours to the mast on this one. Let's hope it sinks like the Titanic...
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
