It seems like as in the US, Tony Blair back in the UK has been using the same tactics to convince the British public about having new security
measures. He has done this by misrepresenting security intelligence.

Today, The Independent publishes detailed analysis of how Tony Blair manipulated the serious threat of terrorism facing Britain to suit the
Government's political agenda.

since 11 September 2001.

Quite simple my point here is to illustrate how corrupt the British Government are to bringing in their agendas. Also the oppostion for not making a
tougher stand about this. They have voiced concerns but have not really dug in and fought the government over this. Sections of the British people
have already voiced their opinions but the politicians do not pay heed to those who pay their wages.
These new laws (like the Patriot Act in America) will not help catch these terroists but rather take away the liberties of the innocent people of
Britain.
