    Because nothing tells the terrorists who threaten our rights and way of life like declaring a state of emergency and removing our human rights...

      For the record I think it is a mistake about dropping the ECHR, but having said that surely 3 terror attacks in 3 months and our threat level set to 'you spilt my pint' is strong evidence of a state of emergency?

        So for how long a period do you think the State of Emergency should be imposed?

            This is all further evidence that she is making it up as she goes along.. an unnecessary knee-jerk reaction to make her seem 'strong and stable' while deflecting from the policy of cutting police and security budgets over the last 7 years.

            Is there anything left of the Tory manifesto that hasn't been reversed?

              Really? Isn't it just Lynton Crosby dog-whistle politics to make sure more of the UKIP vote goes to the Tories?

                  Woah! Hang on just a mo.

                  That article doesn't say she _has_ declared a state of emergency, only that she "would" do such and such "if" she did.

                  Talk about last moment blatant dog whistle politics from a leftie rag.

                    This thread doesn't say she _has_ declared a state of emergency.
