Personally I`m appauled that an MP can take up a good cause, and instead of stating the rights and freedoms of individuals comes out with this garbage....
"the potential positive contribution to station security made by railway enthusiasts who are often seen as providing extra “eyes and ears” for the security services through their activities"
Anyone want to own up to working for MI5 ? :lol:

Nothing wrong with him saying that at all. Thats what a lot of the "pro enthusiast" station staff think anyway.

If I went round calling black people gun toting hoodies that like shagging white girls, or Christians a bunch of fairy tale believing freaks, I'd be arrested and locked up, and rightly so. And remember when Clarkeson called truckers a bunch of prostitute murderers?

Judging by the story in today's papers regarding the fishermen from Woodley, we've been getting off lightly! Wrongful arrest lawsuit anybody?
