On the eve of the by election in Haltemprice and Howden, David Davis has clearly won the debate which Labour through sheer cowardice refused to have.
In an ICM poll conducted for the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust now 61% of people are against holding people for longer than 28 days without charge. Of those who support 42 detention without charge, when told that is equivalent to a jail term for something like burglary 36% then change their minds.
The survey also is a blow to people who want an ever expanding DNA database with 75% thinking that innocent people should bot be on the database permanently.
In that sense David Davis has clearly won the debate. It is just a shame that the BBC refuse to cover it.
Iain Dale has this, whilst the press release is here and the full data here.

And this is in bloody Western Europe! In the heart of our older and most loyal ally.
Why do they still tolerate this? Especilly because it is caused by ethnic minorities... immigrants ans stuf.
