‘Tiny’ number of terrorists in UK says Clarke
Home Secretary Charles Clarke last week told a live Channel 4 News debate that there was only a “tiny number of people” in Britain who represented a terrorist threat. Somewhat at odds with previous statements by Tony Blair, amongst others, who would have us believe that the security services are monitoring “hundreds” of terrorist suspects.
And if these people are already under surveillance, exactly how are ID cards and the routine surveillance of the rest of the UK population supposed to help?
