Well, no.

The government has suffered a heavy defeat, losing by a margin of 322 to 291 on the plan to allow police to detain people for up to 90 days without charge. An amendment put forward by a rebel Labour MP setting the time limit at 28 days passed by a margin of 33 votes.

Now, while I would prefer the limit to have remained at 14 days (or even been reduced), 28 days is nowhere near as bad as 90. I applaud parliament for not just giving the police exactly what they what powers they requested. There is a term for societies where that happens, it is a Police State.

What was entertaining was seeing Michael Howard and Clare Short in agreement: They both called for Blair to resign. Hopefully it won't be much longer before he does go.
