    These goons

    You are sadly misplaced in time MM, you really ought to be living in a 1940's B-movie, presumably a gangster one.
    Why not?

      "Disclosure notices - Courts can force suspects to answer questions or provide documents or face imprisonment or fines. Limits the right to silence "


      So they days where you had a right to remain silent have gone

      I suppose unless you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear.

      I suggest the first task of this new SOCA squad should be to investigate the highly questionnable expenses claims (for tens of grand each) paid to numerous MP's over the past few years

        Is to deal with money-laundering.
        One of the most-used methods of money-laundering is offshore companies holding money and making loans to individuals which are then written off.
        Now why does that sound like a familiar tax-avoidance scheme on a board of contractors?
        Why not?

          What planet has that man been on while his government has eroded freedoms hard fought for to tackle terrorism - another form of organised crime!

            There was an ex-chief of the Flying Squad on the news this morning who said that, basically, this would be the Drugs Squad by another name - apparantly they don't have the resources to tackle all the other areas but this is the real news grabber. To compare this to the FBI is laughable

              Labour's top brass are easily impressed with all things American.

              Blair has got his own Vietnam, which led to his own 9/11, and now he wants his own FBI to play with.

              What next, his own Roswell?

                    Nah, no way was it hot enough. Although it did have a surprisingly large variety of rain types.
