The price of liberty: £3000 per diem
If this report is correct, Brown’s Britain is about to achieve a new low.
The government is expected to offer a last-minute compensation deal to help push the 42-day detention plan through. Under this, any suspect held for more than 28 days and later not charged could receive £3,000 for each extra day in custody, the BBC has learned.
We have now reached a point where the British Government is happy to put civil liberties up for sale.
