So is anything ever "hypothetical"?!
Cllr. John Beanse writes: "I have just been listening to an interview on BBC Radio 4’s "Today Programme". The Home Secretary was seeking to justify the supposed need to be able to extend the possible detention period without trial for terrorist suspects to 42 days.
She dismissed any idea that the need for such a measure was based on a hypothetical case with the memorable words:
“It won’t be hypothetical if and when it occurs”!
In the end, I suppose you can’t argue with that!"
