House arrest bill 'unjustified and rushed'

I am amazed at how authoritarian and frankly rascist Britain has become, the government think 9/11 is a good enough reason to constraint our freedoms, to detain people of colour and to lock up people without trial, what gives the government the right to lock up someone without proof. Either charge them or let them go, holding them in limbo is wrong, you only need to see the disgusting, perversion going on in Guantanamo Bay and even in our own Belmarsh to see how very wrong the government is, when did we forget our values? Why do we lower ourseleves to such levels? I tell you what, the government has become a bullying bossy cow basically, it even ignores the Law Lords and does not listen to sane voices.
