| Kubrick your logic is duff. This is outrageous, insane and most importantly, unnecessary. There is no evidence to suggets that any terrorist attack would have been stopped if the police had had these powers. Kubrick, sometimes your posturing as the mildly conservative force of reason to others 'insane student type lefties' is tedious and off the mark. |

False confessions? Stress techiques? This is getting preposterous.
I'd personaly volunteer to spend 42 days in jail if it meant there was some chance a great human disaster could be avoided.
Its a relatively minor concession to give. Its true some innocent guy might have 42 days of liberty taken from him. Thats the nature of the beast and for the greater good.
Anyway, its not like they're going to pick some random punter off the street. It would have to be justified based upon some background intelligence. If this law come into place, the use of the 42 day rule would come under such scruitiny that the rules of detention would be applied scrupulously. He'd end up in a cell with Sky TV and a power shower like the Lockerbie Bomber. |

Dont get me started on the Lockerbie Bomber.
I cant really mention anything on a public forum but i'm happy to chat about it in person having spoken on this subject to people involved in the case. Al-Megrahi is a part of the conspiracy. Yes, hes the fall guy. But hes guilty nonethess. Any unbiased indvidual would have arrived at that conclusion anyway. Theres support for his tranfer to Lybia within Government and the public mood is all thats really stopping it from going ahead.
I personally think he should be left to rot in Greenock Jail. |

| Mistakes unfortunately happen. But nobody remembers the case of Harry Stanley because that had nothing to do with an unpopular war. |

I once went out with a girl from Greenock. Her house was broken into and instead of stealing her telly and DVD they stole her shoes.
Clearly, it was some kind of perv but theres a joke in that somewhere. |

Yeah, you're right, I'm sure it'll be some dusky skined fella. I'm sure "we" have nothing to worry about* |

That wasn't my intention, I just wonder if you would feel the same way if you were from a minority group, as there certinly are racists in the police force, who after all are the folk who decide who gets pinched. |

Do you think the Police are more racist than any other section of society? Racism is just another form of prejucide. Prejudice exists in every society in every race in every country on this planet. Always has and always will in varying degrees.
You need to accept the fact that recent terrorist acts have been undertaken by people from ethnic groups. Its a fact. Get over it. Based on that, is it not reasonable to assume that any future attacks would exhibit similarties given that they all share a common justification in the eyes of their perpetrators? There are consistencies in terms of not only race, but also age, sex, religion, choice of target etc . Race is such a small part of the equation and yet you magnify it beyond all reasonable significance.
Your argument is that someone in the Police force cannot dettach the issue of someone's race from their actions. Your fixation with race is in effect a form of racism because you presuppose that that anyone taken into custody will be done so on the grounds of their colour first and foremost.
Besides the fact the Police Force have far better things to do with their time, I'd like to point out that anyone using racism as a means to further their point without any grounds for doing so is a racist themselves. It is such an easy, cheap attack because it creates a disroportionate level of revulsion making a reasoned and calm analysis near impossible. Wether you have played the race card deliberately or unwittinlgy is irrelevant. It shows a basic disregard for race as a topic while playing on its emotive impact. This disregard is in itself a racist act.
You have shown yourself to be the most insidious kind of racist as you have assimilated your prejudices into socially acceptable moral values. Whereas a Neo-Nazi or Radical Muslim Cleric has made a concious effort to to adopt a racist viewpoint openly, you have diguised your prejudice as concerned commentary by a normal member of society.
You feel it is perfectly acceptable to have a negative stereotype of a section of society in the form of the Police. Why is it then not acceptable in your eyes to have a negative stereotype about an ethnic group?
You are using prejudice to attack prejudice. Your point is preposterous.

The police are institutionally racist. Fact.
From the dawn of time it has been so. It used to be based on religious grounds, now it is based on both religion and skin colour.
Is it not more dangerous that a police man be racist, than say, a taxi driver? |

Yes it probably is more dangerous for a Policeman to be racist than a Taxi Driver. My point is that there is NO PROOF at all that Policemen are MORE racist than taxi drivers or any other section of society.
Are you telling me everytime you see a policeman in the street you assume hes a racist bigot? What planet do you live on? |
