Terror 'may force freedom curbs'
John Reid is calling for more public vigilance
Britain might have to modify its freedoms in the short term in order to prevent their "misuse and abuse" by terrorists, John Reid has said.
He conceded that was never an easy request, but it was up to everyone to ask "what price our security, at what cost can we preserve our freedoms".
The UK faced its "most sustained period of severe threat since the end of World War II", the home secretary warned.
And he is managing all this - without even a period of consultation.
What a guy.
