|
|
The Archbishop of York has criticised Britains creeping police state laws (as reported on the ITV news approx 10.35pm earlier this evening) - there's not much I can find on the web yet, except...
Cleric airs 'police state' fears
Dr Sentamu questioned efforts to extend detentions without charge
The Archbishop of York has warned that the government's anti-terror measures are in danger of moving Britain "close to a police state".
Dr John Sentamu, who fled Uganda in the 1970s, criticised 90-day detention, and compared it to his home country under Idi Amin's dictatorial regime.
The archbishop said: "If you detain people, you must have good enough reason for detaining them."
The home secretary moved recently to extend custody limits for suspects.
The limit is currently 28 days for those suspected of terrorism, but yet to be charged.
John Reid told fellow ministers he wanted to try to find cross-party consensus on the controversial issue, at the request of police chiefs.
Government attempts to extend the limit to 90 days failed in 2005, opposed by Tories, Lib Dems and some Labour MPs.
Birmingham suspects
In an interview with ITV's Evening News, Britain's second most senior cleric said: "[The home secretary] has not produced the evidence that shows that in 90 days you're capable of getting somebody prosecuted.
"Why does he want these days, so the police do what? Gather more evidence?
"To me that becomes, if you're not very careful, very close to a police state in which they pick you up and then they say later on 'we'll find evidence against you'. That's what happened in Uganda with Idi Amin."
Meanwhile, West Midlands Police are continuing to question nine people arrested in Birmingham over an alleged plot to kidnap and murder a Muslim soldier.
The archbishop also urged people coming to live in the UK to adopt and "cherish" British values.
"If you are in Britain and you're British, you should really cherish the traditions that are here," he said.
"If you don't actually subscribe to the things that make Britain, you're going to be in trouble."

Britain 'at risk of police state'
THE Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, today issued a warning that Britain was in danger of "coming close to a police state" in the wake of the arrest of suspected terrorists in Birmingham.
Dr Sentamu, who fled Uganda in the 1970s, criticised 90-day detention, likening it to his home country under the tyrannical rule of Idi Amin.
He said: "If you detain people, you must have good enough reason for detaining them."

I noticed that a Google search for "Archbishop" and "police state" throws up a few high profile spokespeople who may yet assist the cause...
I don't know how well the Church of England has been "canvassed" ?

Well said Dr Sentamu!
This illustrates what criminal traitors we have in public life when it is left to a Ugandan to defend British values. |

Come a long way haven't we.
I remember the first influx of Ugandan Asians into this country in the 1970s, fleeing from the mad, bad dictator Idi Amin.
We now have a senior C of E cleric from Uganda, lecturing our executive on human rights issues. _________________ The Medium is the Massage - Marshall McLuhan. |

Given the Church of England has a whiff of death about it as an organised religious presence in this country, I can't take seriously what they say on any issue to be honest. |

Who cares what faith or religion people are?
The guy said what he believes, shouldn't that be what we examine and act on? What differences does it make if said people are from the Church of England, Judaism or Islam?
This is a big problem this movement has, we are seen as judging the information based on it's faith background as much as it's personal background and that feeds the "anti semetic" and "racist" slurs we all get. |

I would be happy if a garden gnome spoke up about these issues.
Anyone who doesn't have "a problem" with 28 day or 90 day detention without charge and without even knowing what they are accused of, must be living in cloud cuckoo land.
It never ceases to amaze me how the ostrich phenomenon insulates people from such draconian legislation.
The security blanket of ignorance provides the intellectual self deceipt:
It's not me they are targetting so why should I care ? _________________ The Medium is the Massage - Marshall McLuhan. |

As someone who has been targetted at home, work and at political demonstrations by police squads, and even seen my solicitor harrassed by these *, I do hope that dig was not aimed at me.
I have plenty of objections to what the state is doing, I just feel anyone banking on the Chuch of England to deliver anything (except draughty pews and empty churches) is barking up the wrong tree. |

Er, not chucking out the anti-semites from the Truth movement, and linking to racist websites on this forum, may play a bigger role. |

Ooooo wonder whats next in this intellectual 'tour de force'.
"the story about all the debris being swiftly taken away is *"
Hmmmmm FEMA state that around 350,000tons of steel was recovered in total. Well over one third of that was gone within 18 days.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=%2Fnews%2F2001%2F09%2F2 9%2Fwnyc29.xml
"fire experts told Congress that about 80% of the steel was scrapped without being examined because investigators did not have the authority to preserve the wreckage" N.Y. Daily News, 4/16/02
Oh dear. You`ve been a silly boy.
Of course there was still wreckage there months later there was about two million tonnes of all sorts of stuff from the wtc complex as a whole. Nobody could ship out 2 million tonnes of stuff through NY in an evening!!
The point is they started immidiately (a criminal offence under federal terrorism legislation) and refused access to the vast majority of it.

I guess they think "It won't happen to me, so it's O.K." this is the attitude that needs changing. But how? When all people want to do is watch Big Brother, X Factor, Coronation Street and get drunk on cheap wine while furiously masturbating over how much their house has gone up in value this year... _________________ Make love, not money. |

None are points I have made, nor have I seen anyone else making on this board. I have however read people on this site saying extremely dubious things about the holocaust, Jews, and even linking to the Leuchter report claiming that there were no gas chambers in WW2.
Do you believe that nonsense Snowygrouch? |

Do you believe no Jew or Zionist madman has hurt a fly since WW2? Do you think suggesting they may have makes the speaker an anti-Semitic holocaust denier? It seems so...

Mr Stott - I take it your question was intended to be rhetorical.
I know nothing of you or your past.
And yes my post was aimed directly in response to yours. _________________ The Medium is the Massage - Marshall McLuhan. |

I wasn't calling anyone an anti semite, lol.
I was just trying to point out your comment on the Church of England may easily be taken in a context you didn't mean it to be taken in and people on this site really should be a bit more careful about comments like that. |

wickywoowoo, I second the comment... and I hope it is taken in the context you feel is not acceptable. I hope the day comes sooner rather than later when organised religion is dead. It is already a primitive ideology and when the whole world become Humanists then the world will be a better place.
Ps. When you die... it will be exactly the same as before you were born... that is just life. I cannot be threatened by the fear mongering of the organised religions... The same fear mongering tactics used by the Neo-Cons. I do not see any difference between the two. |

It's a real b*tch, when you're the victim of unwarranted persecution, isn't it Paul? Call it a hunch but I'd say there's a good possibility that you, and/or those around you, may well be subjected to further unwarranted attention ... that's the way the universal Law of Karma works!
... or haven't you worked that out yet dude?

Look dont worry guys, every single REAL christian in this island will be persecuted soon enough, just be patient.
All the other anti-relegious liberal global brotherhood numbskulls will be kicking their heals in approximately 30 years time when relegion is outlawed and the world is one big happy family for all of about 10 years and the cracks start to show and the lie that is the new world order is clear for all to see.
Christians will be rounded up and killed im sure about that. And im sure a percentage of society is just that fvcked up enough to support it. Not to mention they will have to meet in secret just to do what they do every sunday that doesnt hurt anyone. _________________ Since when? |

Wanting to eliminate "belief systems" that help billions of ordinary, good people get by in life is Humanist and a good belief system to have then? So what of people who don't share your belief system? Should they blindly ignore all you say because of what you believe? That is what you back by saying anyone from the Church of England's opinion is void and without meaning. |
