UKs Latest Terrorist raids were nothing but a fake to keep the UK scared.

Nine men detained in a security operation intended to thwart what the Prime Minister said was “a very big terrorist plot” were released without charge last night.

The men, Pakistani citizens who were in Britain on student visas, were handed by police into the custody of immigration authorities and now face deportation on national security grounds.

Aged between 22 and 38, they had been detained for 13 out of a possible 28 days but were released because there was no evidence connecting them to terrorist activity.

Two of the 12 men arrested during Operation Pathway on April 8 are still being questioned under antiterrorism legislation. An 18-year-old student was transferred to the custody of the UK Border Agency after three days in custody

Nothing was found on their computers.
A building was cleared to search for evidence of explosives - nothing found.
Britain blamed Pakistan for encouraging terrorism, who in turn replied that the student entry system in Britain was weak and that was the UK's problem not theirs.

The arrests came at the time the Home Secretary faced major criticism for abuse of expenses, they were bought forward after the Head of The Anti Terrorist Squad "inadvertently" released the details to the Press by holding them in full view of the Press as he got out of his car. The "intelligence" for the raids was based on Security Services having flagged the individuals for taking photographs of shopping centres and night clubs.

All nine can appeal their deportation orders and their lawyer is calling for a full public investigation into the raids.

1. Jeebus. You'd almost think the Home Sec was trying to recruit them to AQ.

Nothing like taking a bunch of innocents and ruining their lives to inspire love and devotion to Queen and Country, eh?

Is it good or bad that fascists are so freakin' stoopid?

2. It is bad when they form a Government.

The British public were sold New Labour and they have been further to the right than any previously UK Government and that includes Thatcher. Support for Bush was an ultimate indiginity for a once great Party.
