England's Patriot Act

Tony Blair has authored a column in defense of his country concerning the Prevention of Terrorism bill which has been fought by the Law Lords, the highest court in the land of England.

I reject completely the allegation that this is a fundamental attack on long-standing civil liberties. As the Bill makes clear, no one will be deprived of their liberty without this being approved within days - at most seven days - by a senior judge in the High Court, following careful consideration of all of the evidence linking them to terrorist activity. And this initial hearing will then be followed by a full High Court hearing. Even with less intrusive control orders, suspects will have full rights of appeal to the High Court.

The Law of Lords sounds as prudishly hysterical as our lefties in the US did and do. I think it is with good cause they are hysterical: they are going to have to be upfront in their attempts to sell out their country as it sure beats getting 'tapped' into and for that, no?

Boris Johnson, British MP for Henley, an obvious EU(er) pens:

It is amazing that the Prime Minister, who began as a vaguely Left-wing lawyer, should be stripping the British people of this right. He is casually destroying a key part of our constitutional liberties

Not quite. PM Tony Blair is preserving the sovereignty, as well as the protection and defense of England.

Why does the average, most boring, pathetic lefty, on this matter sound so much like the 80-year old woman constantly shrieking a pervert keeps spying into her window to see her nekkid?
