England just passed some new anti-terrorists laws saying it is a crime to publicly speak out for anyone that is considered a terrorist by the government.

I liked that movie allot. It made me think about our crappy government. I know there are some honest, hardworking people in our gov. but they are few and far between. We (the people) have given the gov so much power over us. One day we will have no power to change government and we will be powerless to help ourselves. We have been giving the gov. more power for decades and it is happening so quietly that people don't realize it is happening. They start passing these little laws that do little things, this paves the way for the substantial laws that really give them more control in the future. We wont be able to fight against these laws because of the safe guards they have put in or are putting in today! Sorry to rant and rave but is everyone blind to this!!

this is presumably a joke, if you have information about a terror suspect go to the police, if not then just stop being an idiot.

This Government has orchestrated the whole terrorist threat. It has systematically led the population down this path for 9 years in the hope we will all bow down to the masters who explain they are trying to save our way of lives.\nEvery new law they pass takes away a bit more of our liberties. Soon, they will be ramming the cause of I D cards down our throats in a belated excuse to impose their regime on us. Whilst at the same time allowing undesirables to come in and out of this country.\nThere will be no inquiry because they pull the strings. If there was however, they would be conducting their own wrong doing!!!.

I hardly know where to start. We Americans are free to say anything we want about government or people. The current government has brainwashed many people to feel if they disagree with anything they are not patriotic. Which is silly! It is especially effective with less educated and young people.\n\nI like the UK! Most of laws are very similar! It's just the popular interpretations that has many feeling they can't say anything.\n\nKerry blew a joke. He suggested only the uneducated would join the military and they would wind up in Iraq  Kerry is a smart man, but I think he lakes some basic communication skills! The republicans jumped on that full force to deflect all the bad things they are doing and have done.

Well, you may have a point, muslims can wear what they like, we are not allowed to wear caps and hoodies in some shops or banks. muslims can preach racial hatred, if a brit did this, they would be arrested instantly and imprisoned for racism. Infact, muslims virtually cant be done for racism, apparently, only white people are capable of it. When a muslim breaks the law, WE have to care about their human rights, when we break the law, they couldnt care less, and a muslim, can enter our country, and without doing a stroke of work, scroung off us and complain we dont give them enough, if we did that in their country, we'd probably be shot. So yes, they probably do think they own us...

Yes.\n\nAny government that launches OFFENSIVE military action is by definition terrorist.

The POLICE are doing a job to protect us law abiding citizens from people who have no regard for the law or other people.  Only people who should be worried when talking to them are criminals or people with something to hide.

Yes, I read the comment from the director of MI5.  I believe it is plausable.  As far as solutions, we as the public ar limited, I mean really the majority of muslims are alright, it's just the fanatics.  Should we punish them all, for actions of the few? No. However, I do feel that the muslim community in general, should take a little more pro-active approach to encouraging this type of behaviour to stop.  They should denounce hate pedalers and encourage prosecution of people who incite violence against people who don't follow their religion.  They have done this on a few occasions but more is needed.  MI5 says they are following 1600 people, good, hopefully any plots should be foiled.  If there are more bombings, it will get alot worse for muslims in the UK.  As far as apologies and running away from Iraq, that's not a solution.  Those are chicken sh*t tactics, and is exactly what the fundamentalists want, so they can spew more hate fueled rhetoric, calling the west heartless, weak, scared, defeated, and call for the destruction of the zionist empire next.  Blah,Blah,Blah.  All we can do, is remain vigilent in our own communities and rely on spy agencies to do their job.  After all, they already took away our fire arms, so we have to leave any response to the government.

Unfortunately it seems that a lot of these terrorists are "home grown" - i.e. born in the UK of (mainly) Muslim parents.\n\nWhile our present government has created a chaotic immigration system which means we really have no clear idea how many people are coming into this country and what they intend to do when they get here, there is also a large degree of brainwashing of young Muslims going on in the mosques and faith schools which is creating a generation of terrorists within our own society. This is not helped by the government's pathetic policy of political correctness and appeasement towards various extremist Muslim preachers and leaders who seem to be able to encourage hatred against the very society that they live in without any real fear of arrest or removal from the UK.\n\nIt seems unbelievable that we grant political asylum to some of these extremists because they state that their views mean they would be subjected to brutal arrest if they were deported back to their own countries - yet we do nothing about them here except allow them to encourage terrorists (usually while they claim welfare at the same time). Limiting immigration into this country is NOT racist, selfish or isolationist - it is COMMON SENSE... something which seems to be in very short supply in and around Downing Street.\n\nUntil the government stops these people using our systems of immigration and welfare against ourselves then the potential consequences for the UK remain dire.

Laws vary by state and enforcement varies by jurisdiction.\n\nCommunicating a threat is a crime in most, if not all, states, adding the word "terroristic" only provides for increased penalties.\n\nThe question you ask is a good one, but it cannot be answered in this forum because courts hear those cases and rule different ways depending on circumstances.\n\nWalking around claiming you are going to kill everyone when you clearly have no means or intent to do so would probably not be considered a valid threat within the meaning of the law. But, it might get a person confined for observation as posing a threat to himself or others, in other words, a public nuisance.

Its a crime against the State-to go against the State is a crime against the country-Treason.\nIt includes many civil-trespassing-disorderly-       fraud  and a hundred others.

You are more likely to be a victim of crime than terrorism. This just shows you where their priorities lie. Scaremongering rather than solving.

The government say that the muslims should integrate more with us, and then in the next breath say that they are going to have separate classes for muslims. This sends out the wrong message and should be stopped. This will be another lowering of standards as has happened to the police force. The next thing they will say they won't fight as they have to get on their prayer mats and pray, and the government will say it is their human rights and they won't have to fight, especially if it is against other muslims. This shower of shite that we call a government have got their snouts so deep in the trough, that they can't see what harm they are doing to this country and towards racial harmony.

You do not have any thing to worry about. Unless you are talking to known terrorist.\n\nBy law if they hear any thing other than terrorist they can do nothing. even if they hear a murder plot they must let it happen. If they do any thing the person that told will go to jail for 15 years.

I doubt it - I feel that British people (and I include everyone who holds the basic principals as desirable) should stand up and be heard. The problem is that the Government (who we put in place not so long ago) are not listening to the majority of law-abiding people, because they know they have another 2-3 years where they can ride rough shod, without worrying about their position. I think they will have a difficult time come the next general election.

yes they do have more power than they advertise. since 9-11 the government has passed things such as "The Patriot Act" and "terror Watch". Terror Watch allows the government to essentially spy on law abiding citizens when that is forbidden in the constitution. The Patriot Act allows the government to tap phone lines and check phone records on again law abiding citizens and the ability to search        cars,homes and businesses without a warrent which is also contradictory to the writting of the constitution.

The human rights only apply to criminals and foreigners. If a British citizen did something like that, they would be arrested and accused of racism.
