An outstanding example of self-indulgent posturing. It may have escaped your notice in your ivory towers, but the vast majority of British people are far more concerned about their rising food, gas, electric, petrol bills and job security, rather than whether or not suspected terrorists are detained for an extra 14 days. If David Davis is so "principled" perhaps he would care to pick up the bill for this totally unnecessary bye-election (estimated at somewhere between £80,000-£200,000) rather than leaving the already hard-pressed taxpayer to cough up for it.
