Is it worth contacting David Davies, the Conservative MP who recently resigned over the 42 day detention policy? He is a big advocate re 'defending our basic freedoms' and in this particular article (
http://www.conservatives.com/tile.do...&obj_id=145275) says:
'We will soon have the most intrusive ID card system in the world. There is a CCTV camera for every 14 citizens - despite growing evidence of their ineffectiveness as deployed. We have the largest DNA database in the world, larger than any dictatorship, with thousands of innocent children and millions of innocent citizens on it.'
and in this article (
http://www.conservatives.com/tile.do...bj_id=145263):
'This may be the last speech I make to the House. Of course, that would be a cause of deep regret to me.
But at least my electorate, and the nation as a whole, would have had the opportunity to debate and consider one of the most fundamental issues of the day the ever intrusive power of the state into their daily lives, the loss of privacy, the loss of freedom and the steady attrition undermining the rule of law.'
