As I pointed out in the earlier post, the real increase in the risk level is actually very small, therefore the response of the authorities must be equal to that. The current situation is a sledgehammer/nut response. Even a proportionate response runs the risk of resulting in a miscarriage of justice, I cannot see that possibility ever going away, but the widesweeping measures in place now will only increase that risk many times over.

Good answer. I am not happy with the way things are going either.....who would be? The point made on Radio4 this AM was that (iirc) those under house arrest will be hardcore types who they cannot prosecute because the evidence is inadmissible or disclosing the evidence against them would jeopardise an ongoing investigation.
