Home Secretary David Blunkett has signalled that a third term Labour government would impose sweeping new anti-terror laws amid fears of an al Qaida attack on Britain.

Mr Blunkett said officials were looking at a range of measures - from jury-less anti-terror courts to allowing wiretap evidence in trials - which could be implemented if Labour was re-elected at the General Election.

He said that civil orders - similar to anti-social behaviour orders - could be imposed against individuals who had not committed an offence but were suspected of "acts preparatory to terrorism".
 
Exactly cricketfan - scare the public and then take awya their rights when in fear - it is as old as the hills
 
Ardross, I trhink that you have not seen The Power Of Nightmares? If not, you must. The neo-cons in the US government are accusing the makers of all sorts of things, including the emotive term "holocaust deniers"!
 
I must be alone in thinking that ID cards aren't a terrible idea then. They work very well throughout Europe, in fact the UK is one of the few European countries that don't have them. Apart from anything else, they are used widely in Spain to help combat credit card fraud - you cannot pay for goods with a credit card in Spain unless you have an offical ID card or a passport on you. I for one would certainly rather carry around an ID card than my passport at all times (as is now the case in Spain) & surely it is a sensible identification precaution if someone has an accident, or in a number of other instances. It would surely help cut down on under age drinking too.
 
most brits have I.D.cards already they are called passports??......

but whatabout the illegal people in the country? it will sort the wheat from the chaff ? so to speak so only to be en-couraged in my eyes.....................

Or better still what all people of working age are i.d. by your National Insurance number.................
 
It will do nothing to halt illegal immigration - do you think the people that employ illegal immigrants now are going to stop? . What are we going to do ? let people die before they produce their ID cards? So we only sned back sick illegal immigrants

As for terrorism it is a complete joke - unless they are already suspected terrorists -In which case they don't get past customs - evidence shows that Islamic terrorists , in particular, get all the proper ID . Look at the 9/11 bombers .

It is crap . It is all about controlling the population .

Jury trial is after democratic elections one of the view things beyond state control -so what do they do ? seek to curtail it . There is no evidence at all that juries are letting off terrorists . It is all about increasing the power of the State over our lives .

It is bloody frightening
 
The other two comments are currently used for all Brits.... a fact of life!! you try and get in touch with any GOV; dept regards sickness/ taxation its your National Insurance number they require not your name..............
 
no my doctors is based on my post code that's what they ask first.......

and my daughter in law who is Russian!! could not get treatment AT THE LOCAL HOSPITAL because she had no NATIONAL INSURANCE NUMBER :P............ one lives and learns all the time don't we?? :o

or is that akin to the health service who charged that poor young ladies (20) mother £130 (for an ambulance) to go home and die on Friday she died 2 hrs later in her mothers arms................brilliant hey?
 
well I can only tell you facts...... I have no axe to grind...... its what my son and daughter in law told me prior to them getting married .................

and my friends (daughter) who live in Florida 12yrs could not see a doctor when they fell ill over here (she is a British citizen) the children are American.....age 11&14
