The vast majority of people who have posted on this thread think Davis's gesture was a waste of time and aren't worried about 42 days detention for suspected terrorists. Do you think that the cross-section of humanity we call Accyweb is somehow different from the British public at large?

And why aren't your Conservative colleagues on Accyweb rushing in to support your view? They're all remarkably quiet, aren't they? Could it be that the likes of Jaysay and co are actually in favour of 42 days detention...or perhaps more?

One of these days, Cyfr, you're going to have to come out of your cosy little dreamworld - it's going to be one hell of a shock for you when you do!
57% of the public in a poll support Davis's decision to force a by-election, 32% don't support it and 11% don't care either way. When he resigned 69% of people supported 42 days, 4 weeks later, just 36% support it. I am not in a dream world.

I just care about innocent people being locked up for 1000 hours without knowing why, without being charged, without having any evidence against them, and with the prospect of it increasing in the future, as 42 days was not necessary but it was passed, so why not 52, 62, 82. You're perfectly entitled not to care, but please don't try and suggest that others don't!
