We really have ignored this one, prolly 'cos it is too silly for words, but the latest on the BBC News site says that in order to "get it through" the Government are going to agree to pay anyone detained for more than 28 days without a charge being laid against them compensation of £3000 for each day over the 28!
It seems no expense will be spared to enable Gordo to get his own way. If true it is the most childish gesture I have ever seen from anyone over the age of five. The man really has lost all sense of proportion. His mother should have smacked the sulky little beast when he was younger.

What will our cut be? whistle:

Who needs a cut? If we start a 'fertiliser bomb' thread or similar GCHQ will pick it up and we will all get banged up for a few weeks before they realise we are harmless loonies. Then we can all make a fortune. happy088

BB is the soft version anyway. You want to see the Ted Nugent version if/when that comes back on again (I have a feeling that the contestant who was injured during a task where he had to stand on a track and play chicken with a speeding pick up truck may have scared the studio execs somewhat).

Brown wins crunch vote on 42 days
Prime Minister Gordon Brown has narrowly won a House of Commons vote on extending the maximum time police can hold terror suspects to 42 days.
It appears 37 Labour MPs joined forces with Conservative and Lib Dems to vote against the proposals.
But that was not enough to defeat the plan ministers claim is needed to deal with complex terror plots.
It was passed by 315 MPs to 306 votes. It will come as a big boost to Mr Brown after his recent troubles.

Wankers! cussing:

I think the whole country knows that he had to buy those votes and they also know those who were willing to be bought. I foresee many of them being out of a job come the General Election.

Why didn't my MP hold out for a new hospital or something? cussing:

Well we know who to vote for and who not.

Depends on how many peerages Tony sol...er...handed out.

I suspect the Lords will amend it heavily and send it back, Gordo will have another strop and threaten to use the "Parliament Act" to force it through, compromises will be reached and everyone will claim to have won. Meanwhile expect to see Ian Paisley Knighted (at least) and more money poured from London into Nor'n Ireland than you would have believed possible ~ starting with £200million proceeds from the upcoming water privatisation in the six counties.
