    If Tony Blair’s policy is to give the police what they want, the UK will fast become a POLICE STATE. Power is aggressive like that.

    Maybe you should ask Mr Wolfgang who was detained as a terrorist for heckling Jack Straw, as to whether the Police can be trusted to only lock-up “dodgy characters”.

    And if we’re working on the presumption of Guilt before being proved innocent, then maybe English law needs to be overhauled.

    Oh wait, Tony Blair is already doing that. In a proposed change to criminal laws, Blair is proposing that, for certain crimes, defendants are presumed guilty and the onus is on them to prove their innocence.
