    Hello Enid and team,

    Today's news suggest that an individual will soon be able to be detained for 42 days without charges or reference to a court on the say so of..

    The Home Secretary - a politician;
    The Attorney General - a cabinet member and top legal boffin appointed by the Prime Minister - a politician, and a;
    Chief Constable - appointed by a local police authority subject to the approval of the
    Home Secretary - a politician.

    Why?
    What is wrong with two concurrent periods of 28 days under the present system?
    Why can nobody offer a straight forward reason, or even hypothetical scenario, to make a case for such detentions at the behest a senior law enforcer, the countries most senior lawyer and a cabinet level politician - who, by the way, are all public servants?

    The PM programme cannot find an answer that one, can you?

    Just a thought

    :)
