So you didn't listen to Alex Jones then?

The Home Office has defended the detention, saying police must act if they think someone has "stolen information that would help terrorism".

Law firm Bindmans have written to the home secretary and Met Police commissioner for assurances "there will be no inspection, copying, disclosure, transfer, distribution or interference, in any way, with our client's data pending determination of our client's claim".

You know the quote from 1984? "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever."

I saw a tweet today "If you want a picture of Britain today, imagine a boot stamping on a macbook - forever."

No, the police weren't directed at all despite the fact we already know Miranda had travelled with his partner's work previous to this incident. May then has the cheek to say that it's strictly a decision for the police while crowing about people 'aiding terrorists'

Mr Miranda told the BBC he was forced to disclose his social media passwords.

"I am very angry. This feeling of invasion. It's like I'm naked in front of a crowd," he said. "They said I had to co-operate or else I was going to jail."

Mr Miranda was detained under schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000.

This allows police to hold someone at an airport, port or international railway station for up to nine hours for questioning about whether they have been involved with acts of terrorism.

Under schedule 7, if someone fails to co-operate they are deemed to have committed a criminal offence and could face up to three months in prison, a fine or both.

Can you even ask for legal representation in that instance? Or has that been taken away too?
