SO Home Secretary David Blunkett has a vision to protect us from terrorists by the removal of centuries of hard-earned liberties, does he? George Orwell's 1984 may have arrived late but arrive it has.
I am one of the fortunates (there are 100,000 of us each year) who is able to leave the UK for a less draconian place - Australia.
I wish the British people the best of luck with Mr Blunkett and his colleagues' fight with imaginary terrorists under this state reign of terror.
Oh that the UK government had been so diligent with the IRA terrorists, but there hangs another story.
