Or maybe it's just a spin state:
Britain isn’t a police state, but it’s close to being a liar state
"When our beleaguered prime minister complained that he and the Downing Street staff were the victims of outrageous leaking in the cash for honours police inquiry, I felt no sympathy.
"It is true that someone — the Metropolitan police I assume — has been supplying the media with information (and probably disinformation) in industrial quantities. The practice is indefensible. But when the Met locks antlers with the government it is as though the Leviathan of leak and spin had engaged the Behemoth of spin and leak. It would be perverse to feel sorry for either.
"Hard on the heels of Tony Blair’s not very heartrending whinge, a massive amount of briefing was issued to the media on the terrorist plot allegedly uncovered in Birmingham. Information that you might expect to emerge only in court, maybe not before the end of a trial, spewed forth. There was a plot, we were told, to kidnap, torture and behead a Muslim British soldier.
"Some newspapers made clear that the information came from Whitehall, not the police. Shami Chakrabarti, the director of Liberty, wrote to the home secretary asking whether his special advisers had given off-the-record briefings. It is the sort of question that a clever person asks only if she already knows the answer perfectly well.

Passive aggressive terrorism.
The Constitution isn't a suicide pact - but far too many intrepret it that way!
The islamics laugh at us as they use our laws and constitution to protect them as they push their takeover plans. Then once they are in the majority, they will institute Sharia Law.
I would like to be tolerant towards these followers of Islam, but they make it impossible. Because British citizens don't want to be killed by Islamic terrorists, that means they're police state advocates. Muslims should focus on the murderers and tyrants in their own religion, if they are capable of doing so.
Wonder if they'll start treating the islamists as they did the Irish during the troubles?
islam is a murder state
This Abu Izzadeen laughed along with the members of his congregation as he described a horrified black woman who wept as she described how she had been in the first and second World Trade Center bombings. He found humor in 9/11. He laughed at 7/7. He claimed that he'd be a suicide bomber himself and mocked the lack of conviction in the West.
He deserves what ever is thrown at him.
Although his criticism of the West's conviction probably isn't far from the truth.
If Britain keeps its terrorists in check, then it ought to keep on doing what it's doing.
Fine. I therefore label Saudi Arabia, Iran and Sudan as Islamic Police States.
