Abolute rubbish...
David Davies as civil libertarian?
He opposed
- the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law, which means that UK residents now don't have to go to Strasbourg to enforce basic human rights
- equalisation of the age of consent for gay and lesbian relationships
- civil partnerships for gay and lesbian people
- legally enforceable rights to Trade Union membership
- a legally enforceable minimum wage
and lots more besides....
These are the liberties that matter to most people - not the right to hunt foxes, smoke Silk Cut or drive gas guzzlers through London.
He is member of a party that, using the PTA, imprisoned Irish people for months without trial in the seventies, and through exclusion orders permanently prevented people with UK citizenship rights from living on the UK mainland.
Lots of other advanced countries have ID cards - what's the problem?
Davies as civil libertarian - pull the other one!
Biting the hand that feeds IT
