A SURVIVOR of the 7/7 London attacks says MPs who voted against holding terror suspects for 90 days are traitors.
Joanne Gittins was travelling on the Circle Line when a carriage on a passing train was blown apart by suicide bomber Mohammad Sidique Khan.
Last week, the Government asked MPs to support a bill to hold terror suspects without charge for up to 90 days.
MPs, including Bromley's three Tory MPs, voted overwhelmingly against this.
Miss Gittins, who continues to visit a doctor to help with her post-traumatic stress, has called them traitors.
She said: "They should be able to hold suspects as long as they can, years if they have to.
"It's in the public interest. You can't put a price on human life."
She added: "Why was there even a vote? This law should have been given freely. London will be attacked again. It could take five or 10 years but it will happen again."
The 23-year-old said: "If people don't want to live in this country they should go somewhere else.
"If they do something wrong in this country and don't abide by our rules, we should be able to hold them.
"If they're not guilty, why would police hold them? They must have some feeling they are not honest citizens."
Miss Gittins, who works in an advertising agency in the City, says MPs are all the same they have their own agenda and never listen.
She says they ignored mass demonstrations against the Iraq War and the distress of 7/7 victims by paying out low compensation claims.
But Miss Gittins, of Susan Wood, Chislehurst, says there is no point in asking MPs to speak with survivors.
She added: "If you wheeled out a bomb victim with a limb missing, they still wouldn't listen. They just don't understand how bad it was."
The Government backed a reduced detention without charge period of 28 days.
Orpington MP John Horam says Britain still has the longest detention period of any western country and MPs were advised by Home Secretary Charles Clarke 90 days was unnecessary.
