"Britain's House of Lords voted against government plans to let police
hold terrorist suspects for up to 42 days without charge, putting at
risk a key part Prime Minister Gordon Brown's anti-terrorism
legislation.

The Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties voted against the
extension in the Lords, the upper, unelected chamber of Parliament,
alongside lawmakers attached to no party. They voted 309-118 against
the Labour government and in favor of an amendment to legislation
keeping the current 28 day limit."

I'm not suprised. Brown had invoked his terror laws against Iceland ffs 
to try and force them to hand over themoney. Would you trust a guvmint 
that abuses laws in this manner?
