One Maya Evans has been sucessfully prosecuted under the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005, for having read out the names of the 97 UK war dead at the Cenotaph - memorial to Britain's war dead in Whitehall, near Downing Street. It has been claimed that the law, under which she was convicted, was necessary to prevent disorder.
Also:
Four foreign nationals in the UK (three Algerians and one Palestinian) were arrested in the post 9/11 period. They were held without charge in Belmarsh Prison until 2004, when the Law Lords ruled that such detention was illegal under the European Convention on Human Rights, they have since been placed under house arrest - they aren't allowed to leave the house and are only allowed to talk to their immediate family. They are deemed such a threat to UK society that the the Police have not even dared to interview them.
I'm so glad that the government is able to keep us safe from these terrorist immigrants and these vegan terror chefs who dare to read gather in numbers more than one at the Cenotaph. It almost makes me forget that the terrorists of the July 7th were British Citizens and weren't interested in making their protest outside Downing Street.

Maybe I'm a cynic, but I don't believe terrorism poses a significant threat to the west. How quickly was London up an running again after July the 7th? How much money to we spend on combating terrorism compared to actually how many people have been killed by terrorism?
