Law and principle are lost in the crazy politics of 42 days
"Detention without charge tramples rights won over centuries. Labour MPs must resist prolonging it just for party posturing".
If 7 days is a long time in politics, how much longer do you think 42 days of undergoing the 3rd degree is? Perhaps, some of those supporting this measure should undergo it first just to get a taste of how inhumane it is?
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

42 days should be just about enough to have us nicely pickled.

Or until something nasty happens. Then when the voters ask why ? You can explain that you were defending their rights, but as a result not them alas.

James: I suspect that Labour is in a pickle over this 42 days detention lark...
