Wink Speak up against the government? Welcome to the mental asylum

FTAC (Fixated Threat Assessment Centre). Heard of it?

I didn't think so...

to attend the surgery.

Once in front of his doctor, Mr X was stunned to be told that the GP had received a letter from the highly secretive Fixated Threat Assessment Centre (FTAC) following instructions from the Home Secretary herself. Although embarrassed, the GP understood from the communication that he was required to interview Mr X to establish his ‘state of mind’.

just proves even more that this country is becoming a 'big brother state'

so you cant speak your own mind about a government member and if you do they will shoot you down and call you a loony or terrorist... hmmmm

Anyone stalking Jacqui Smith doesn't need referring to their GP, they're clearly insane...

Wouldn't surprise me, but there again there's plenty paranoid nutters about who make this sort of thing up for a laugh.

I don't think The UKColumn would be my first port of call to prove I was not insane.
It sounds like a safe haven for a bunch of conspiracy theorists. Why couldn't he contact The Times or some such? even The Sun

I'm sure that any government has powers to do pretty much anything they want using the excuse that it's in the interest of national security etc. etc.
However, as has already been posted, if this report is true why haven't we heard more about it? But then again, I'm sure the government already has powers to censor the press. I wonder if they're monitoring this very thread to see what we discuss!
On that note I'll leave it!

I love our government, they're doing a wonderful job especially that lovely Jacqui Smith!
