Watching the news last evening, and listening again this morning - it has become apparent that Gordon is clutching at straws on the whole 42 day issue. He must be absulutley bricking it this morning. PMQs looms large and I hope both Dave and Cleggover rip him a new arsehole.

Every fucking favour is being called in by the so-called rebels.

"Is the Post Office closing in your constituency Mr Labour Back-Bencher? It is! Well if you vote with the government, I'm sure we can ensure that the Post Office stays open a little longer - at least until after the next election. Your constituents will be pleased."

"What's that, you say? 42 days is a long time to be locked up without charge. Tell you what if we don't charge Ahmed or can't trump up enough incriminating evidence, how about we pay him a little compo? £3k a day should cover it"

How long was Nelson Mandela held without charge before his treason trial? No doubt the Zanu Labour luvvies and former anti-apartheid activists can't see the irony in introducing this legislation in the same month as inviting Nellie over for his birthday bash.
