Reasuringly disturbing...

Way to go making everyone feel so much safer after interrogating those darned normal people with disabled children. This incident reaffirms the trustworthy and considered nature of both the police and the law :roll:

It seems, at least to some extent, that we a reaping the benefit of knee jerk legislation coupled with the ever present little hitler syndrome.

They should have superglued themselves to Tony Brown in protest... :D

I was stuck outside the Chunnel (French side) for about 4 hours last time I crossed. Police weren't taking any sh*t from anyone.
It did give me the chance to stand beside the tunnel exit as the Eurostar came out, like a bullet I tells ya :)

An unfortunate spin off from terrorism acts.

The trouble with the Anti Terrorism Act is the fact the a net is far to big. This law needs a rethink but it will never happen.

Well it's not so bad. People screw up - it happens anywhere and anytime

One of the marks of proper human dignity is not that one never screws up, but that when one does one admits it and apologises fully

That seems to me to about as full and unreserved an apology as I've ever heard from the British police. So i think it's OK. No permanent harm done

Agreed....If the Officers hadn't of acted and a child was taken out of the country the public would have had a field day later.

This is the unfortunate consequence of preventative security measures taken as a result of past terrorist atrocities.

As long as nobody was harmed we just have to accept the fact and remain vigilant.
