Talk:Prevention of Terrorism Acts

Untitled
The exclusion orders were used by the British government to ban prominent Sinn Fein MPs like Gerry Adams to enter Great Britain, and was later held to ban the broadcast of their voices on television and radio.

Was the latter part done under the exclusion orders? In my original version I didn't make that claim, just that the act did. Morwen 18:37, Dec 23, 2003 (UTC)


 * (almost 10 years later) How did this even work? Gerry Adams and McGuiness were British citizens yet they were forbidden from entering other parts of what the UK Government would call 'the same country'.  Do any powers like this still exist?  It just seems so odd just as it would if an English person were banned from entering Wales.--ЗAНИA talk talk] 20:13, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

I was wondering how we'd handle this now. Wouldn't it be better to call this one Prevention of Terrorism Acts (1974-1989) or something? Whilst they were introduced and mainly used to deal with Irish terrorism, I'm not sure it's the best or most encyclopædic title we could use&hellip; &mdash; OwenBlacker 01:07, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)


 * Prevention of Terrorism Acts (Northern Ireland) would be fine IMO. We should probably have articles on all the Acts in the end, of course...

I just had to move it and picked one. I'd be ok with a further move to a better place. Morwen - Talk 20:39, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
