Pray tell, how would YOU deal with millions of potential enemies living right in your own country?
I think its fine legislation. I especially like the part about kicking them out and the part about inciting riots.
I think its a good peice of legislation myself. Kudos to the British for passing the laws they need, now its time for them to stand up to the threat and use the laws they've made to deal with the situation at hand.

I wonder how many people actually read the legislation and looked at Britain's 'constitution' for comparison. I'm American, and I'll admit I haven't yet, but it would be quite interesting none the less.

The 'constitution' of Britain:

In America, we're losing our constitutional rights for the illusion of security. Benjamin Franklin warned us of that.

Those Muslims? Perhaps if the corporations based in the Western world weren't committing human rights abuses against those in the middle east, installing dictators that kill thousands, inciting civil wars, seizing their oil assets, and selling both sides of the conflicts they spark those weapons to kill each other with, we'd see a lot less terrorism.

No amount of legislation will ever eliminate terrorism, but having a government rife with double standards will exacerbate it, while stripping away more rights will only make the government's role in your private life even larger at the sacrifice of personal autonomy without doing anthing meaningful to adress terrorism. These Muslims don't hate the western world for their 'freedom'(that rapidly shrinking amount thereof), but they hate it for the same reasons that America in the late 1700s disliked Britain. Imperialism, exploitation, and repeated abuse and usurpations...

Anti-terror legislation is most usually summed up in one word: bullshit. People with guns should use them accordingly if the conflict ever comes to affect them personally, and even if guns are illegal, people should own them anyway if they want them. Bush and Blair with their respective cabinets and like-minded politicians? I'd jump for joy if both were eliminated from the political realm and their fascist worldview kept away from legislation that affects individual people.
