All this panic over the suggestion of looking at it seems a bit OTT to me.

The EU kept saying, we can't change treaties, they have since talked about changing treaties.

It should only be expanded upon to provide more rights, never to take them away. Taking away rights is basically like waving a white flag at terrorism. We will have already lost if that's the case.

Reduced human rights only benefits the government, to think it would have an impact on terrorism is gullible to the extreme. We are the only ones who will suffer because of it because increased surveillance and a controlled internet will only be used to consolidate the Government's power, not root out terrorism.

Human Rights are something we should fight to protect. We shouldn't be giving them up out of hysterical fear.
