Ye........Just ask the commanding officer of the two lads who were killed in Afghanistan today what are his views?
I doubt if parents of other lads killed in Afghanistan or Iraq....they are victims of terrorism would stand.
The laws of the land as they are, are adequate to deal with threats from outside or internal interference....we as individuals may not grasp it..but deterants are in place to counter the threat.
The attempt by this government to increase the time of detention in my view...for what it is worth...is to show that the Government can satisfy the whims of the back benchers...who in the main havent got a clue..that they are in charge and a majority should be held on to at all costs.
I can see with this stance that a lot of Labour MP's will be on the dole come the next election.

as they are serving military officers and are not allowed to stand by law i dont think they will.im just repeating the rumours that are going round westminster watch and learn politics..and as they are serving in afghanistan this is nothing to do with this bill.i dont think we should bring this into the thread as i think its offensive as my nephews regiment is in iraq .i know being in these countries is contributing to terrorism in this country but they would have found another excuse to bomb the **** out of us in this country..

I know that a serving officer is not allowed to stand...nor would they.
The rumours going round Westminster do not concern me.
Serving in a theatre of war on active service to defeat terrorists under whatever umbrella, is an act act of loyalty to the crown, and our armed forces have to be praised for that.
I do not agree that our forces should be deployed in these godforsaken places and pray for the day when they come home safe and sound.
Your Nephew is in Iraq to make sure that on his return to this country, he has a safe haven in which to live in peace.
I would go for our troops out tomorrow but that is not to be.
I too have been on active service...and it scared the **** out of me.

where are you getting this tripe from? at this time the Lib Dems have said they will not take part in the by-election. Labour have said they are YET to decide. maybe you should consider changing username to Aesop.

Re: Trouble in the Tory ranks
Although David Davis might not have the backing of David Cameron and the rest of the Shadow Cabinet, according to Newsnight he does have the backing of the B.N.P. in his one man crusade.
Stranger, and stranger.

Re: Trouble in the Tory ranks
'Those around David Cameron are throwing their hands up in despair at his self-indulgence. “Has he gone mad?” one of the Tory leader's closest allies told me. Another strategist described it as a “massive distraction”, which will “all go pear-shaped”. Most Conservative MPs agree that Mr Davis is putting his own interests before those of his party.'
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/com...cle4123769.ece
I hope Gordon Brown doesn't forget to send David Davis a Christmas card this year.
He's probably so chuffed he might even splash out on a present too.

Absolute nonsense. Ask anybody who knows David Davis and they will tell you he did this because he believes in it. Nothing at all to do with trying to discredit Brown. If that was his goal, it would probably have been best to not resign, as currently the limelight is off Brown.
Cashman, why should I resign my membership of the party? I don't understand at all.
If Labour have any conviction in their erosion of liberty, they will field a candidate. If they feel they'll get another bloody nose, they'll back off. Lets see what happens.

thats also nonsense, folk know he believes in it no question, but also did it fer selfish reasons, he has well damaged yer partys leadership, no question about that. a very self centered man. i too hope labour stand, i will be very interested in the reaction of the local public to this pantomime.

Re: Trouble in the Tory ranks
I'm still trying to understand how this crusader for civil liberties, is also in favour of the reintroduction of the death penalty.
Although Derek Bently received a Royal Pardon and the conviction was eventually set aside, forty five years after he was hanged, they couldn't raise him from the dead, in order to restore his civil liberty.
