David Davis

David Davis has resigned his Haltemprice and Howden seat in a matter of principle over the concept of a 42-day detention without charge. For suspected terrorists. This means 6 weeks of legally empowered detention without understanding any reason and there being no need to provide one.

Police Powers of Detention

The period of detention in the UK without charge for an alleged offence punishable by imprisonment is just 6 hours.

• A recent example of a summary execution of a suspect is Jean Charles de Menezes. Shot to death as a suspect. Seven times in the head and all at close range. It would make identification impossible. This is the attitude of the police state. Shoot (many times) to ensure a kill. The intelligence of armed police does not allow for a disabling shot (arm or leg) and seven hits to the head and one in the shoulder is the only option. This is probably one of the most appalling acts to have been perpetrated in any community. Armed police against a single unarmed man.

• Allegations of a cover up

In the resulting forced by-election Davis will fight to win it back this parliamentary seat. There is no expectation of ever being offered a future job as a frontbencher should he be re-elected to parliament and so as a matter of principle he has ostensibly sacrificed any Ministerial future in a future Conservative government. It is quite probable he will be returned as the MP for the constituency of Haltemprice and Howden. The campaign is poised to commence in about a week with the poll date probably, 10th July, 2008.

• "If they choose not to take part in this democratic process, they are going to show they are ashamed of their own policies. Frankly it's contemptuous of the British electorate if they do that. If it comes to it and they don't run, I will think that's just another piece of cowardice by Gordon Brown."

David Davies.

That sounds like throwing down the gauntlet and not an "ego trip" or "mid-life crisis" and more like testing the will of the people

• And that's something Brown would never dare do.

Dr. Brown:

"I think everyone now recognises that this
is a stunt that has become a farce
and has revealed the deep

divisions of the [Tory] party."

Typically patronising arrogance as he imagines that as an individual he speaks for everyone. Politico-speak and the crude attempt to implant a suggestion concerning how to think correctly: the lemming-like, government way. It has become clear that Dr. Brown's government is running scared. The constant barrage of attack by the government in power focuses on division and the farce. It's all there is to make noises about. If there is division it is between government and a large proportion of the British people. The farce is that the government is in denial.

Bizarrely, suspected murderers are routinely freed on bail before any trial and in some cases go on to murder again. Suspected terrorists obviously pose a greater threat than a suspected murderer. This represents a completely twisted and illogical system. Backward thinking though quite typical of the knots politicians involve themselves in. Any move to detain a suspected terrorist must be spread across the board to include any other serious crime. Like murder. It would make a better quality argument if the seriousness of any suspected terrorist act and murder were given equal standing.

• Terrorists destroy people and property, but murderers destroy (usually) only people. Damage to property has always had priority over damage to persons. People are wholly expendable though property has 'value'.

And this does not even touch on the hypocrisy of MPs lining their pockets at public expense with completely unrealistic pay rises while pontificating about everyone else tightening their collective belt. Integrity in politics is very rare. Between David Davis and David Cameron, Davis is the clear leader of men, but pedigree of background always wins over pedigree of thought. Allegedly, 65% of members were "inspired" by the David Davis move though there was some sharp criticism.

(ConservativeHome)

Sir Patrick Cormack, MP: "the party won the argument and as one of my Northern Ireland colleagues said, it was a humiliating victory for Mr Brown. Now all the attention is taken off that."

Chris Grayling, MP: Mr Davis was (sic) "a man of principle fighting on the issues that we know he cares about" adding "Whether I would have chosen in his position to do exactly the same thing, I don't know. But he's taken a courageous decision. I think we should back him."

Harriet Harmen, QC (Deputy Labour Leader): "insists" that the by-election was "not necessary" and that it was about divisions among Conservatives. And that it could cost £80,000 or even more of public money. It would be a paltry sum to spend relative to what government wastes every minute of every day and is another example of an offensively patronising and arrogant attitude.

And very, very worried.

But extremely well spent

Some cross logic has been displayed by Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs David Milliband who "insists" the ratification process must continue: "it is right that we continue with our own process" even though the Irish rejection must be "respected and digested". It appears that when a government employee "insists" on something that really means an instruction about how to think and behave. Complete arrogance and a recipe for continued 'unrest'. Tax upon tax upon tax until every drop of money, blood and anything else has been extracted, and then somemore. This simply attempts to effect absolute control. The movement (surrender) of sovereignty to Brussels has been attempted, but has failed. Attempts to deny the people an opportunity to control their own destiny has been denied. The arrogance of government in the "nanny-state" is that "mother knows best". The people are too dim to make the right decision and any decisions that affect the people (taxpayers pay the inflated salaries and expenses of MPs and MEPs who aways want more and more) should be left to the even dimmer.

Then, of course, is the no-show-referendum-denial. The British public has not been allowed to have a public vote on the transfer of yet more sovreignty over to Brussels. Given away freely by Dr Brown, elected-by-default pseudo prime minister. World Wars have been fought for these freedoms and millions of people have perished for them to be given away. Or at least attempted to be given away.

If the would-be-master doesn't like the rules, then change them. Dr Brown is Scottish and the giveaway?
