Conference

I read with some bemusement that some frail 82 year old chap who escaped Nazi Germany in world war two, had been manhandled out of the 'New' Labour conference for daring to heckle at Mr Straw's speech defending Iraq policy.

Police then used powers under the anti terrorism act to stop him from getting back in. Surely this is an abuse of power by the police? Were we not assured by Blair that these new anti terror laws would only be used to curb terrorism and not be abused by those in power?

The article can be found here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4291388.stm

They did indeed use anti-terror laws to stop the old guy re-entering the party conference. He looked terrifying to me - and i think they used the laws justly and fairly. :S
