New Anti-Terror Bill - Too Extreme, Says Opposition

The Government is planning to push new terror laws through parliament next week. The Bill, dubbed 'No Innocents', will give police new powers to arrest anyone on suspicion of being a terrorist without having any suspicion of them being a terrorist. The arrested individual will then have to prove they are innocent in a specially set up anti-terror court.

Other measures in the Bill will outlaw certain types of behavior associated with terrorists, including 'using the word bomb in a telephone conversation', and 'intentionally acting in an overtly innocent manner that may result in suspicion.'

The Conservative MP for Dagenham, Bill Bottomley, said the measures were far too extreme and could turn Britain into a new Stalinist state. Mr. Bottomley went on to say something else but was arrested for being sympathetic towards the causes of terrorism. He will no doubt have a confession beaten out of him and then be sent to the newly set up gulag style prison in Norfolk.
