"The legislation also would make it an offense to receive training in terrorist techniques in Britain or abroad. A new offense of "acts preparatory to terrorism" would outlaw planning an attack and activities such as acquiring bomb-making instructions on the Internet."
The internet-aspect of this law is going to be expanded to other areas eventually, I suspect, some of which will have nothing to do with terrorism.
Looks like they are coming to their senses. I wonder if the US will follow suit, if there are not current Federal/State laws on the book that reflect what is shown here.
Brits should sleep a whole lot more soundly tonight, thinking how many folks will now take a pass on getting terrorist training because it will be against the law....sarc
Did these jokers ever figure that anyone who has any respect for the law.....is probably not attending terrorist camp?
Meanhwile the Brits, the EU and the USA through the multicultural god known as the UN- continue to fund the Palestinian Authority's terror training of the next generation of human detonators by offering children's TV shows glorifying homicide bombing (shahada).
Aren't these the same people that passed laws to outlaw guns in order to reduce gun crime and got the exact opposite result?
When will liberals ever learn that breaking/ignoring laws is the definition of a criminal? I am sure that Mohammad Al-Jihad, on a personal quest for quick martyrdom via dynamite backpack, is seriously concerned about the laws of infidels when he plans to be working his way through 72 virgins! /sarcasm
The British government already has, and has long had, vast power to clamp down on the population. What they need is not more police power but the open recognition that multiculturalism is a disastrous mistake, one that will inevitably lead to a police state.
