I must have got it wrong, these Al-Queda and Taliban people are not a threat at all and work harmonously with everyone else in the interest of Britain. lol.

I watched Question Time tonight on BBC1 and someone said that it might be better to pay out what they said on the programme was ?14m to these people rather than have a Court Case and for the security services to have to reveal their dark arts. It was also said that not having a Court Case means people within the security services can spend more time trying to stop a terrorist attack in the UK rather than being tied up in the Court Case. I have some sympathy with that argument.

In particular the very dark art of doing as they please.

Did they actually say that? That sounds like a very lame excuse.

So we've had an austerity budget etc, more job losses to come, we're told that we've been spending money we don't have for years, but when it suits ?14m can be paid out ? In the scheme of things 14m is nothing but it won't be an isolated example and it does add up.
