Basher for Liberty news 10

A somewhat curtailed roundup today, as I've been away from my desk for most of the day. Having said that, it also looks to me as if there is less being written about civil liberties today. Is this issue going off the boil?

The debate

Lots of updates to the Davis blog. Of note is Davis's position on CCTV where he says he wants less, but better CCTV. Me, I don't want any at all.

Sparring partners

Jill Saward, a rape victim, may stand against DD on a platform of support for DNA databases and CCTV. Commenters seem to view this as a good thing in that it should start a sensible debate on the balance between liberty and security - see for example here, and here.

The BBC reports that there are now 25 people challenging Davis.

The campaign

Tory MPs will be politely asked to support DD in the by-election.
