Not so very long ago people who were deemed to be a threat to the security of the UK were held without trial. Though this happened in Northern Ireland.
Have there been changes in the laws since then that precludes using internment in England to hold terrorist suspects?

When one is prepared to sacrifice another's human rights in deference to their own 'safety', it is they who have then made themselves the terrorist. When we find ourselves locking up the innocent in deference to fear, the true terrorists are obliged to declare victory.

mibn2cweus, your 'best' answer (LOL) has put single quotes round the word safety. No threats to the British public you're aware of then?

There will never be an absolute guarantee of 'safety'. But a simple measure of installing locks on cabin doors would have saved us a lot of grief . . . in hindsight. Cavemen with access to technology has always proven to be a bad mix. We will never beat terrorism with more terrorism.
