More War on Stupid(with thanks to Bloggerheads): Blair rejects Sunset Clause

So the Tories' half-way sensible suggestion for a sunset clause by *shock horror* the Conservatives on 'New' Labour's house arrest anti-terror laws are being rejected by Blair in Prime Minister's questions. Now I am an implacable opponent of this bill, but being a political realist if it must pass then at least include some sort of provision like this. So much bad kneejerk legislation has been passed by Parliament in the last fifteen year..Dangerous Dogs act, the original derogation from the European Human Rights Convention etc....

The problem is that 'New' Labour has an election coming up and is trying to use this bill to shore up its(to use that horrible blank facistic phrase) 'national security' flank. Triangulation as a political strategy never dies it seems, just skulks away like a red headed step-child until needed again...
