Lock everyone up

That seems to be the attitude af the British authorities, trying ever harder to prevent the gush of revelations of their misdeeds from the whistleblower Edward Snowden.
That can be the only reason they locked up the partner of a journalist for nine hours as he passed through Heathrow airport, and locked him up under the terrorism act, a quite meaningless piece of legislation that means they can lock up anyone for anything.
In case you don’t know, the terrorism act applies to all of us. We are all suspected terrorists, who can be arrested at any time for no reason whatsoever and locked up until they need the cell for the next ‘suspected terrorist’.
