Peter Oborne, the Dispatches reporter, examines how Tony Blair's government responded to the July 2005 London bombings, and argues the anti-terror policies that followed were shaped less by security needs than by politics. He lays out the case that ministers rushed legislation through parliament to head off tabloid criticism, look tough to voters, and claim an electoral edge rather than to address the actual threat assessed by security services. The film treats the London bombings not as the end of the story but as the starting point for a harder question: whether a government facing what it calls the greatest terrorist threat in the nation's history can be trusted to separate genuine protective measures from moves designed to shore up its own standing. Oborne builds his argument around the gap between the stated purpose of anti-terror policy, keeping the public safe, and what he presents as its real function under Blair.
