"Anti Terrorism measures have done little to ensure Britain is safe and secure from terrorist attack, but much to infringe the civil liberties of those living in the UK. etc etc etc"
It was a state of civil liberty that allowed the suicide bombers to travel and study terrorist techniques, to manufacture, deliver and detonate their bombs. That caused 50+ innocents to lose their lives. Who was looking after their civil liberties?
Life in London, and possibly throughout Britain changed with the bombings in London, we just don't know by how much yet.
Save me from the Bleeding Hearts Brigade. In doing so you just might save me from those who wish me harm.
