I personally believe the speech is very good. It really questions the direction this country is going.

As people have already said, it is good to see such a principled politician. Someone willing to put his job on the line for something he deeply believes in.

As he is a former member of the SAS I don't think there is any doubt David Davis knows how to be tough on terror, not only this, smart, on terror. He is greatly respected among all sides of the House for his knowledge on security.

Have no fear Jaysay, I will be doing my bit in Haltemprice and Howden, for I believe passionately in what David is doing.
Double D David once again going out on a limb. I personally don't think it's principle. His difficulty has been demonstrated by his double take on it. Taunting/goading Labour into standing to make it political but yet asserting it is a referendum on the issue of 42 days.

I don't think anyone political should stand against Double D. It should be a referendum against Kelvin McKenzie who said he may well stand and who is pro 42 days. Let's have Pro 42 days and anti 42 days.

Double D is opposed to the explosion of CCTV cameras, the central policy of our Local Conservative Council. Double D reckons may cameras serve no purpose. He said somewhere they solve less than 1% of crime. Does he mean the CCTV on Southwood Drive?
