CIVIL LIBERTY: UR DOIN IT RONG

[owl]

Just when I thought my opinion of the DUP couldn't sink any lower, they go and vote for the 42 day detention, helping it scrape in.

Does nobody remember how wonderfully internment worked last time?? Obviously the DUP were on the side that wasn't getting locked up without trial, but you'd think they might possibly have caught a clue looking at the results.

Of course, I doubt very much the vote was from conviction. Whatever they were bought for, I hope it was something good. I'll just be off to rearrange my proportional representation order for the next election.

For crying out loud, even the BNP are against 42 days! You know there's got to be something wrong whenever your MPs are less in favour of civil liberties than the neo-Nazis.

I don't think we're even getting a referendum on Lisbon here. Bah.

Nope - Gordon Brown knows whats in your hearts!
But I find it depressing to be on the side of the Shinners.
Mind you, after the Nice Referendum was rejected the Government down here just imposed another vote so we would get it right.
Democracy in action!
