Whether The Public Agrees With David Davis Or Not They Will Admire Him
Gordon Brown, the great leader, is apparently saying that the resignation of David Davis is a stunt which is turning into a farce. Really? The biggest farce seems to be that the Labour party are so dismisive of the electorate that they consider it is beneath them to actually allow any of the electorate to have a say in the matter.
I never thought I would see the day when a Tory was standing up for civil rights against a Labour government. I never thought I would see the day when a Labour government would consider it a waste of money to allow the electorate to vote for an MP for whatever reason that vote occurs.
The shameful disregard for hard won freedoms and civil liberties we have seen from the Labour government this week is yet another demonstration that Labour does not care. Rather than defending the freedom represented by the Magna Carta they have chosen to smash it in what I am sure will be a vain attempt to boost their political image.
Whether the public agrees with David Davis or not they will admire him for being one of the very few politicians who is prepared to stand up and be counted for his convictions. Very few politicians get any respect these days and it is astonishing that they are surprised at this when they behave as they do. Labour MPs and ministers voting to keep their leader in power rather than voting to support the freedoms and liberty, that they are supposed to be defending in Parliament, have shown their true colours. They are out to destroy the British way of life and seem to be doing everything they can to prevent terrorism by doing the terrorists work for them.
Gordon Brown apparently wants to be seen as a strong leader and a man who stands up for what he believes in. I would have thought a stong leader would have been proud of our country and would have wanted to stand up for the very things that make Britain great. It’s a sad and shameful thing that he chose to destroy those things rather than defend them.
So, well done to all those Labour members of Parliament who felt their duty was to the British people rather than to their party. It is good to see that all is not yet lost in the murky world of politics and let us hope that the principled stand by David Davis may prove a turning point and government and MPs learn that their duty is to the public at large rather than their political party.
