...it could be bunnies that the triviality of an LJ post is roughly proportional to the number of comments it will get.

Whatever else you may think about the Tories' policies; or whether forcing a by-election is meaningless, money-wasting grandstanding or not; David Davis's speech yesterday was a rather magnificent condemnation of this government's relentless attack on our civil liberties.

I'd be interested to know what my normally anti-Tory, pro-civil liberties friends made of it.
