I would really appreciate if you wouldn't try and play the age card as if it matters. There are many who disagree with 42 days, and they're older than me, if that gives any more legitimacy. The CPS themselves say they do not need 42 days. It is not solely about principle, it is about if 42 days is actually needed, and all the evidence points to a big fat NO.
I would be fully for this if the evidence was there. Without it being necessary it is counter productive and will create anger. Obviously murder is an emotive subject, but lets look at this as a whole. If the CPS themselves do not need the legislation to do their job, then why is it being implemented? Why 42 days? This is a random number, picked, to make the Government look tough. So they can come and say 'We're defending you from those evil murderer terrorists' to scare people into agreeing with them. When in reality, there is no necessity for it at all. Playing politics with liberty.
