Several of my friends were evacuation from Broad Street last night, they said it was a very well controlled evacuation and the whole of the city centre was blocked off practically straight away.
Any news on what the packages were? Hoax?

I have an idea who is behind this, but i shall not post on a public forum, im going to wait to see if i am anywhere near this.
One has to only look at who benefits from these types of attacks to see who is most likely to have commited them. And to be quite honest, these attacks DO NOT benefit Islamic terrorists in the slightest.

We don't know what laws they'll bring in yet. Remember it happened on Friday, while the G-8 was happening. Give it a few weeks and we will find out what new laws they'll use to protect us from the terrorists.
If they don't, it was terrorists, if they do - while then we need to begin to question it and their involvement even more.

Destruction of the West is not a major component of Islamic terrorism, contrary to what we are told by our politicians and reporters.

Tony Blair could have introduced powers under The Civil Contingencies Act, we could of had our rights stripped, but we didnt because Blair said there is no need

Like he's some benevolent monarch? I think you view his powers a little more highly than they actually are. See, he has to get any of his ideas through our parliament and then through the House of Lords. He couldnt strip us of our rights even if he demanded it through blue faced hissy fits.

That still means he would have to get laws which would remove our civil liberties through parliament. That is our peoples representative and now that he has a severely reduced majority in that chamber, he has even less chance of removing our civil liberties "if he wanted to".
