David Davis resigns from Commons

While this would not normally be an interesting topic - his reason is - David Davis has resigned to force a by-election in his constituency - which he will fight on the issue of the 42-day terror detention limit.
I never thought I would find myself supporting a conservative - but this show of principle is not something you see often - he really is 'putting his money where his mouth is' - literally in this case as his campaign is to be self funded.
Nick Clegg (lib dem leader) will also not be fielding a candidate in the by-election - clear support of Mr. Davis' action.
Lets hope that this really brings the peoples views to the media.

I have mixed feelings about the 42 day tdl.However Iam strongly opposed to the ID cards. How many wallets get stolen per day in the uk. Thats where the average person will keep it. address name dob all vulnerable to being exploited, and thats just the beggining. who knows what else will be on the cards.
