House Arrest To Be Used Against G8 protesters

z====z | 08.03.2005 15:14 | G8 2005

Tony Blair in scotland for the Scottish Labour conference told the Sunday Mail that he couldnt "rule out" the possibility that the current house arrest legislation going through Parliament could be used against G8 protesters, Doubtless this is the real reason for the rush rather then the loads of old bollocks about hundreds of trained terrorists running around being put out by the likes of John Stevens.

LABOUR IN DUNDEE: BLAIR: G8 WRECKERS RISK HOUSE ARREST

Detention without trial 'cannot be ruled out EXCLUSIVE

By Lindsay Mcgarvie Political Editor

G8 PROTESTERS could be placed under 'house arrest' under the Government's new anti-terror laws.

Prime Minister Tony Blair, in Dundee for the Scottish Labour conference, told the Sunday Mail the Draconian new laws could be in place before the world leaders meet at Gleneagles in July.

The Prime Minister, who holds the G8 presidency, did not rule out slapping control orders on protesters out to wreck the summit, which will discuss poverty and the environment.

Blair said he is confident British intelligence will identify and deal with rioters coming from abroad.

Asked whether Home Secretary Charles Clarke would use the new anti-terror laws against G8 protesters, Blair said: 'I couldn't rule it outHe added: 'It would be very odd if people came to protest against this G8, as we're focusing on poverty in Africa and climate change.

'I don't quite know what they'll be protesting against.'

But he said he welcomed peaceful protesters who will gather in Scotland to pile pressure on world leaders, including President George Bush, to help Third World countries crippled by debt, famine and disease.

Blair said: 'There will be people who come out on the street in favour of the Make Poverty History campaign and that's a good thing.'

Last week, the Home Secretary squeezed his anti-terrorism Bill through the Commons after giving in to calls that only a judge should be able to place anyone under house arrest without trial. In Clarke's first draft, he would have had the power to do that as Home Secretary.

Blair also heaped praise on Jack McConnell for his drive for a full smoking ban in public places.

He said: 'The trouble with smoking in a public place is that you do affect other people's freedom to not be exposed to smoke.'

And he revealed: 'I had to give up when I married as part of the marriage contract. Cherie hates smoking. Her grandfather died of cancer so she's always had a thing about it

as said before on the wire, the sunday mail is running a scare campaign about the G8 protest, directly informed by the police and the labour government. +proposed+ anti-terror legislation is not specifically about one event. it's about making the uk into more of a police state, getting people afraid of each other, just as the US is right at this moment. if you're a proto fascist, this kind of set-up looks pretty good. for the majority rest of us, it's simply unjustifiable. the solution to terrorism is straightforward and has been often spelled out. jettison the special relationship with the US and abandon support for their imperial projects, especially in the middle east. but the labour party would rather imprison the uk people in ignorance and fear and expose them to terrorism than do this. why? because, well..... they want to get another term in office. criminal.

Gordon Brown encouraged the people to demonstrate "against poverty", its a way of saving face since the people was going to demonstrate anyway, but if anything happens he will be the one responsable as a organiser and the one who should be put on house arrest, maybe time to start a new campaign...

Charles Clarke Home Secretary says:

"I don't know quite what they'll be protesting against".

Well it would only be fair to let him know wouldn't it...

Write to him (a postcard will do) at Charles Clarke MP, The House Of Commons, London. That should do the trick.

Blair does not realise that 100,000 coming hate George Bush.

09.03.2005 14:07

I am surprised that nobody has told blair that the biggest reason why there are going to be protesters is 70% of the country hate George Bush. pure and simple. he should realise that there is going to be a massive response to the presence of a man who has destroyed iraq, occupied it and continues to occupy it even when iraqi new government know that the presence of american forces is the sole cause of friction and conflict and should leave.

Blair should also realise that the people who are going for reasons of climate change and africa are there to make sure that blair keeps to his promises and does not submit to george bush tearing up the commission for africa report and blocking Kyoto.

I cannot help thinking that blair has said to bush...'don't worry, i have brought in house arrest and detention to keep any people who hate you imprisoned in their own home whilst G8 is happening.'

I think that the current G8 agenda is going to be wiped out and replaced with an agenda for a new war with iran. it is very obvious that there will be no mention of the american iran war before the election because that might spook the voters in the UK. But G8 is two months after the assumed election date. by voting for blair, are voters sanctioning another war without knowing? will blair rule out military assistance and presence in the coming war?

time for some answers Mr Blair...

The trouble with you, Tony Blair, is that you do affect other people's freedom to not be exposed to depleted uranium, white phosphorus and napalm.'

Blair ready to blow up a UK city and blame "Al Qaeda"

09.03.2005 22:34

9/11 FAKED - BUSH DID IT!
9/11 FAKED - BUSH DID IT!

In case you haven't seen the signs, Blair and his British "neo-conservatives" are building up to a fake "terror" attack in the UK - just like Bush and the zionist cabal occupying the Whitehouse did on 9/11.

Will the dumb Sun-"reading" masses fall for the offical explanation that "Arabs" attacked the UK or are there enough of us able to see past the propaganda and expose the state terrorism against its own people?

Blair is getting desperate - his attempts to control the masses are failing and desperate warmongers are not afraid to kill their "own" people when they need to maintain control. Expect a faked "Al Qaeda" attack soon - the clues are there already - failing "terror" (Nazi-like) legislation, "warnings" about hundreds of "terrorists" in the UK, an election coming up that Blair will lose ... Join the dots - when a major UK city blows up with nuclear material "stolen" from BNF don't blame Muslims - they are too busy praying that they won't be locked up without charge, lawyers or basic human rights (just like the Jews in Hitler's Germany) - THE REAL TERRORISTS ARE SITTING IN 10 DOWNING STREET.

From:  http://www.bilderberg.org/2004.htm

The offical list of attendees at the 2004 Bilderberg conference. This is no "conspiracy" theory - the group exists and discusses their agenda in private. Fact. It wasn't me who brought them up. It was one of the spooks who trolls IndyMedia - trying to discredit my assertion that the Bush regime engineered 9/11 and that Bliar is desperate and ready to do the same in the UK. The Bilderberg are only a small part of the picture.
