It's just a bit sad it takes a Tory tosser like Davis to point it
out !!

To$$er? Opportunist surely? :)

I never thought I would support an ex-editor of the Sun.

I can't see him doing a 'Martin Bell' though.

It will be a laugh if nothing else. Who will be paying for this
self-indulgence anyway, us or him?

and what happens if DD loses his deposit as well as his marbles?

Responses like this from some of his own constituants undermines the object
of exercise somewhat -

-------
Bill Thorpe, 73, a retired Crown prosecutor, said that he supported the
Government's 42-day plans but would vote for Mr Davis because he was
impressed that "someone is actually prepared to put his money where his
mouth is".
--------
Usually a UK Independence Party voter, Ian Chapman, 57, said he loathed
liberalism "with every ounce of my venom". "I've got nine grandchildren and
I'm worried about about their future," he said. "Longer periods of detention
are a price worth paying for their safety. I see it as a necessary evil."
So Mr Chapman would be voting for Mr MacKenzie, then? Not so.
While he admires Mr Davis as "a man of principle and probity", he "wouldn't
let Kelvin MacKenzie clean my shoes".
---------
Paul Sutton, a small businessman, was "completely in support of 42 days" and
would like the death penalty for terrorism, but intended to cast his vote on
the single issue that mattered most to him: getting rid of Labour.
