If there is sufficient evidence to lock someone up for 42 days then there must be something there that they can be charged with, if this is not the case then it is in breach of our hard won freedom and an insult to the thousands of soldiers who have died to uphold this freedom. But if there is evidence of a crime ( and maybe new laws are needed) then they could be charged on that and given whatever sentence is relevant, although the law lords would probably oppose anything to safeguard the public, IE not allowing people to remain anonymous to give evidence, who in there right mind is now going to come forward to testify if they are in fear of there life?

Colin – I reckon people think he’s aff his trolley, and like him all the more for it.

He’s got spirit. Like Thatcher. (And Fluffy)

Not that I agree with any of them.

Given that the “dithering” epithet has tended toi stick to Brown, I’m dis-appointed he seems to be waiting to test the wind before deciding whether to contest or not.

I’d have thought any chance to debate in public would be seized on by Labour at the moment.

john-yes he said that this morning on Marr’s programme.

My seperation of Magna Carta & Habeas Corpus was a bit flimsy anyway!

I agree with your other comments.

DD was fascinating on TV this morning-he sounded utterly convincing-until you contemplate what he has thrown away personaly.

He is either:-
*The only truly principled MP at Westminster.
*Covering up an deep disagreement/hurt with DC
*Off his trolley.

But he seems to be lining up lots of interesting people for his big debate-can’t see any opposition yet though.
