"THE ERROSION OF BRITISH CIVIL LIBERTIES"

12.06.08, 3:06pm

I have always respected David Davis as a former Military Man, who you could trust and follow, (my judgement is based on Military experiences, I gained in the Malayan Jungles in 1950's tracking down CT's ,) as I respect him now as being a conservative. Member of Parliament....I personnally agree with every word he says in relation to our Human rights and fundamental freedoms as enshrined in the original Magna Carta of 1215, that being eroded away faster and faster by "Unaccountable" unelected faceles EU Beauracrates (with the Blessing of this Scottish dominated "Nu" Labour Government,) who it now appears have that many unstoppable tenticles spreading through our Corridors of Power it's an utter disgrace..
I say to The Irish Down with the Lisbon Treaty !! .....Oh Lord I'm getting fired -up at 71 y.o.a....only to wish I was a young man once again to help put right what is now clearly wrong in England.....

IT IS ABOUT TIME SOMEONE TOOK A STAND AGAINST THE JACKBOOT AUTOCRACY/BANANA REPUBLIC STANCE CURRENTLY BEING IMPOSED IN THE UK

Well done David Davis.

I suspect that he will be all alone at his by-election - as neither NuLabour or the LibDems will contest the seat.

I just hope the Lords throw out this 42-days detention without charge, before the citizens of the UK take to the streets.

WOW ! A POLITICIAN WITH STANDARDS !

Hearty congratulations to David Davis !
Although we all want to see the terrorist threat stifled, that need not involve the Stalinist action of removing basic rights citizens have had for hundreds of years.
State dictatorship we will not tolerate.
We are NOT Zimbabwe ! ! !
