On 8th April 12 men were arrested over a suspected bomb plot.
We were told that there had been a serious threat life. The arrests were hailed as triumph by politicians. The police were commended for their work.
Two weeks later all 12 men have been released without any charge. This would be shocking had it never happened before. But unfortunately it had, many times.
Every so often the police carry out these dramatic arrests, in full public view, in order to strike fear into the population and to to justify the draconian powers they have been given. After a while all those arrested are released quietly.
By the way, was it a coincidence that the men were released on the day that every one's eyes were on the Budget?
