| Post subject: | Terror Law Serves Blair Major Defeat |
British lawmakers blocked plans to detain terror suspects for 90 days without charge by a majority of 31 against the government a result which raises serious question about Tony Blair's grip on power The Terrorism Bill was drafted after the July attacks on London's transit system and was designed to tackle Muslim extremism, it also aims to outlaw training in terrorist camps, encouraging acts of violence and glorifying terrorism. Blair’s popularity along with that of George Bush has slumped due to the unpopular war in Iraq, and it is believed that some Labour lawmakers now regard Blair as an electoral liability.
