UK Lib Dems break cross-party consensus on terror


The Liberal Democrats are having their annual conference, and their Home Affairs spokesman, Mark Oaten, has taken the opportunity to distance his party from some aspects of the Government's current approach. Specifically, he cites proposals introduced this August (i.e. after the initial measures proposed in the wake of the 7/7 bombings), such as the extension to 3 months' detention without trial, and the problematic definition of an offence of "glorifying terrorism". I almost wonder if he reads my blog ;^) I was about to say he must be a man after my own heart... but in the nick of time I remembered that he is still a politician. Close call.
