Onward and upward

This is the challenge:
'the legal apparatus that has been established in the post-9/11 period, and whose stranglehold has dramatically intensified since 7/7, grants to the state the power to do almost anything it likes against the British public in the name of security. The provisions of this legal apparatus are now so vague, and so totally devoid of external oversight, that within the new legal order of the "War on Terror" it is almost, virtually impossible to challenge state policies, if they come packaged under the title of "security." ' (Nafeez Ahmed)
Whether or not the British people are aware of this, and I suspect mostly not, it is probably the main thing to consider if we're thinking about who to vote for next. I wonder if Cameron or Campbell have any intention of reversing direction on this. Or Brown for that matter. We shall see.
