KHOODEELAAR! constitutional law action against Crossrail Bill agenda: Muhammad Haque commentary on David Davis resignation statement [3]

David Davis is absolutely right to state, as he did at lunchtime today [Thursday 12 June 2008] that fundamental freedoms and civil liberties were being destroyed by the current Government. Even if Davis has had any disagreements with the current Tory party leader David Cameron, that still does not alter the fact that civil liberties and universal human rights are under attack from the state and that they must be defended before things get out of hand. The question is: do the people who are in control of the state in Britain want fundamental civil liberties to be undermined like this? Do THEY actually support Gordon Brown and his regime as Brown and company go about trampling on values that took centuries and a great deal of sacrifice to establish? Values especially represented by the core as contained in the Magna Carta? Who are going to benefit from the destruction of these values? Surely a comprehensive and informed debate on this is long overdue. David Davis deserves genuine acknowledgement for this stand. Regardless of what actually happens at the by-election or to a career in parliamentary politics.
