An 82 year old man was today ejected from a Labour party conference in London.
The man had fled Nazi-Germany for the UK and joined Labour before Tony Blair was even born.
When foreign minister Straw compared Iraq to WWII, the old man got angry and yelled stuff - and was promptly moved outside by Bouncers, along with a man who wanted to defend him.

When this pensioner tried to reenter the room, he was detained under anti-terror legislation!!!

I'm suprised there isn't a thread about this yet, because this is an absolute disgrace.
Or does anyone think this kind of stuff is justifiable? Do you think we'll see this more often in the future?
What do you think of Anti-Terror Laws in general?

That guy looked like so old. I feel sorry for the poor guy. Anti-terror laws, that's just a joke.
