This, I believe, is where we came in. So the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005 is already not enough for the government. They need more powers and they need them now. When they have them, I am sure they will not be enough. They will never be enough until we are either all in continuous detention or have turned into terrorists.
Government by tabloid headline may have worked well for New Labour on more prosaic issues (if you don't mind thousands of pointless new crimes and a massive waste of taxpayers' money). On civil liberties issues however, it is simply not acceptable.
