Police State: "LONDON
(Reuters) - Police will be able to arrest anyone for any criminal offence, including minor
misdemeanours such as dropping litter, under new laws which come into force on Sunday. Until now police have had the power to arrest
only those suspected of committing an offence carrying a sentence of at least five years
in prison. The new law requires only that the police
have reasonable grounds for believing that a person's arrest is necessary. This can
include a suspect's refusal to give their name and address. The changes are part of the Serious and
Organised Crime Act 2005, which removes the distinction between "arrestable" and
"non-arrestable" offences." (Reuters, !st January 2006) |

Medical Research Council, said on BBC Radio 4's Today programme that Alcohol
is more dangerous than some illegal drugs like LSD, cannabis, & ecstacy... just as a few of us have thought all
along! High time sense was seen on this subject! (31 July 2006) |
