UK Seeks To Hold Terrorism Trial In Secret

Posted by samzenpus on from the for-our-eyes-only dept.

hazeii (5702) writes in with news about a secret trial set to take place in England. 'A major terrorism trial is set to be held entirely in secret for the first time in British legal history in an unprecedented departure from the principles of open justice, the court of appeal has heard. The identities of the two defendants charged with serious terror offences are being withheld from the public, and the media are banned from being present in court to report the forthcoming trial against the two men, known only as AB and CD.'

    I know you may still be annoyed at the US for breaking away from the Empire. Attempting to lure them back by imitating their practices is however NOT a good idea.

    Sincerely,
    The rest of the world

      Oh it's surging alright...Only today someone of an Islamic persuasion smiled at me and said good morning! Outrageous!

      Then there's this other Muslamic guy I work with and had a perfectly ordinary conversation with where our views differed and he didn't try to convert me or anything!

      Surging I tell you, Surging!

      Why, at lunch I was in the staff room and there was a mix of people from different cultures and NO ONE mentioned Islam!!!! I couldn't believe it!!!

      So you can imagine what a breath of fresh air it was stumbling over your balanced, measured, calm and reasonable post.

      We need more of your kind of sanity around here.

    Oh give it a rest, will you? Queen were actually quite good, although their lead singer was a rather odd character.

    You don't know they brought back capital punishment. And if they told you, they'd have to kill you.

    Secretly.

    What else could you expect from a country, reigned by the QUEEN?

    I would expect it all, and I would expect it now.

    Of course he doesn't - if he had enough mental capacity to realise that, he wouldn't be on slashdot showing the world what a hate-filled asshat he is, tilting at brown windmills that only exist mainly in the mind of him and his racist ilk.
