Everything is good with the world

Seriously though, this is ****ing retarded:

But Mr MacKenzie, who backs Labour on 42 days, said he wanted to stand against Mr Davis on behalf of the Sun and had the backing of the newspaper's proprietor Rupert Murdoch, after discussing it with him at party on Thursday night.

He told the BBC: "I have been associated with The Sun for 30 years. The Sun is very, very hostile to David Davis because of his 28 day stance and The Sun has always been very up for 42 days and perhaps even 420 days."

****ing tit.

I think the bed is calling you.

I can't go to bed knowing that I could be locked away for over a year without charge on some bull**** excuse (if some had their way).

[Dauphin]

Fine, I'll go to bed, but Wiglaf better not try anything.....

MacKenzie is a **** of the first order. Always has been. Always will be. I hope Davis crushes him.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

I don't know. It would be hilarious if Davis lost. As a hanger-and-flogger he's fooling nobody with all this hand-wringing stuff.

[Dauphin]

I don't believe he has honest motives, but I hope that such actions do lead to a repeal.

Nothing hilarious about McKenzie winning though. Cutting off your hand you spite your face supporting him.

I think this is a fantastic move by Davies, let's hope that the Sun gets a total clobbering. With any luck it'll stiffen the spine of the Lib Dems as well.

Given his history I don't agree. Obviously as a politician he will have taken into account the publicity he will get, but his stance has been a consistent one on this and related issues. In my view it's not just about raising his profile, or indeed driven by that.

Oh balls. The Tories spent decades campaigning for greater police powers and were the party that gave us internment. Davis has a long track record of right-wing (by Tory standards) social politics- his current pinko tendencies are purely opportunistic through Party Political opposition to Labour.

Anyone thinking Davis and the Tories are the saviours of our liberties is in for a horrible shock if they get elected- because they'll be looking for the votes of Sun readers to swing Labour seats.

Sorry but this doesn't make sense. The majority of the top tories are unhappy at Davis's decision. Cameron replaced him in the Shadow Cabinet already and made clear it was permanent.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Nobody claimed it was going to be a great career move under Cameron.

I don't see how his "pinko tendencies" can be described as "purely opportunistic" and just representing "Party Political opposition" when neither he nor his party will benefit.
