42-day detention may get through the Commons if the rebels have their way in the same way that the tax changes will now go through, but the damage will be done by the rebels making the government bend over in front of the worlds’ media.

Like the "dropping" of the bin taxes for the local elections (they're back on again now) and the "dropping" of the pay-as-you-go-to-work road pricing taxes before the general election which didn't happen. They're back on again now. 42 days detention will return. Just like the other policies. Because New Labour think that the electorate can't remember more than about a week in the past.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('2189','Katie'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('2189','Katie','Labour\'s only retreating until the by-election is over.\n\nLike the \"dropping\" of the bin taxes for the local elections (they\'re back on again now) and the \"dropping\" of the pay-as-you-go-to-work road pricing taxes before the general election which didn\'t happen.
