If you ask people if they want terrorists locked up, then everyone, including me, would say ‘you bet, throw away the key’. But the argument isn’t about terrorists; it’s about government exerting control over ordinary people. Politicians in power cannot be trusted with your liberties. Look, we’ve had people detained under the terrorism act for heckling the Prime Minister; Councils have snooped on parents under the same act; fuel protesters have been threatened with terrorist detention; ordinary people taking photographs in public have had their cameras seized; and if people did finally come onto the streets in protest over prices, then terrorist detention could well be invoked.
