Tony Blair is saying that certain areas of Parliament are out of touch with the public over the terrorism bill.
However, interesting viewing is the BBC poll on the topic.
Just now of 145472 Votes Cast:
52% favour 28 days or keeping it at 14. (28 and 24 % respectively)
7% will allow up to 42 days only 41% will allow 90 days hardly a resounding majority Mr. Blair.
Going by my reckoning that makes 47.5% of MPs in favour of the 90 day detention which is 6.5 more than the general public. Therefore maybe Tony has a point and is making us aware that his majority should have been cut further in yesterday evening's vote. Very honourable of you Tony to point that out to us.
