Why David Davies is resigning Is the resignation of Tory MP Dave (I cudda been a contender) Davis anything more than a cheap political stunt. Little Nicky thinks so as the Tory slence of plans to marginalise and silence Eurosceptic MEPs in the European Paliaments have been met with a deafening silence from the Cameroons.

The exploitation of AIDS It is revealed at last that the whole scare about an AIDS in the heterosexual population was nothing but a scam cooked up by the political correctness police in chahoots with Big Pharma.

Ireland Votes on Federalisation by Stealth The way the EU Commission have bullied and threatened Ireland over the likelyhood of a no vote on the new Treaty of Lisbon (The EU Constitution rejected by The Netherlands and France a few years ago, back only thinly disguised) shows that what is going on with the full support of our Labour government is Federalisation by stealth.

Well why not, they've done taxation by stealth and privatisation by stealth.

Its The Business (The Apprentice) No its not, its the money.

I don't think its a cheap political stunt. Shocking as it may seem, I think he may actually have come to the realization that there is something he believes in. :)

Well yeah, maybe. But he did not have a problem with 28 days.

I'm off to Comment Is Free now to see if he answered my question about federalisation by stealth. The Irish voters have bought us a bit of time but those effers in Brussels will not rest until they push that EU constitution though in one guise or another.

28 days was the amount of time everyone was told was necessary, as a special exception to the provisions set in place under under the Terrorism Act which had been used to combat the IRA. Evidence had apparently been provided to support the case for some exceptional extensions to 28 days.

No evidence has been provided to explain why the existing provisions (including the extension to 28 days) are now inadequate. In fact they have not been used all that much and when they have, they have proved adequate to the task.

Of people charged with terrorism offenses, in particular most recently charged under the existing 28 day regime, according to Liberty the one who took longest to make a case against was charged using evidence which was available at the 12 day point. The government has provided no evidence itself yet to explain why any more time is needed.
