In re David Davis’ decision to stand down as an MP in protest at the 42 Day Detention bill last night.

Keegan and I have been exchanging high minded emails on this subject:

The BBC is describing it as a “High risk strategy”

I think it’s genius. Times are worrying when I like what the Tories are saying about civil liberties – even if it is for political expediency.

Nobody suspends habeas corpus on my watch. Wankers.

I’m still laughing. It’s the single coolest, schemeing-est, most awful, incredible, mendacious thing I’ve ever heard anyone do.

Also: Plenty of scope for everyone to drink from the poisoned cup of hubris.

Great days! 

We just suspended habeus corpus….and I’m loving it.

Labour have just fucked it.

The Sun did 42 reasons for 42 days of detention without trial yesterday. This country is full of cunts.

Apart from you and me obviously.

(I just thought that it’s this kind of valuable insight into political thought at the rarefied level that Keegan and I are at that is so lacking in most of your lives. )
