JustVince Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 LONDON, England (CNN) -- British Prime Minister Tony Blair has announced new measures to deport and exclude from UK for those advocating hatred and violence. Blair, speaking nearly a month after deadly bombings on London's transit system, said Friday the UK's human rights act would be amended if necessary to counter Islamic extremists. The government also plans to draw up a list of extremist Web sites, book shops and organizations that promote these extremists, he said. "Let no one be in any doubt that the rules of the game are changing," Blair told a London news conference, his last before breaking for a summer holiday.

PseudoRandomDragon Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Look at the time, It's 1984 already. Seriously, I wonder how far this is going to go exactly. Something tells me that "human rights" act is a nice name to cover something that does the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 For those in the UK, here is a UK news site link. I agree with what he's done to be honest. I don't like to think that we are letting people into our country to promote hate and/or violence and to get the taxpayers to pay for them or bombers/potential bombers. I don't care if you find my opinion a bit harsh because this is my country and I don't want anybody (of our nationality or any other) to cause harm to it or the people in it.

FlibbyFlobby Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I think Blair is, as usual, well off the pulse. People have been preaching hatred against Britain since 9/11, and even Blair himself has said attacks on the UK were inevitable, yet now nearly a month after London was successfully bombed 4 times he has finally put common sense into practice.
