Where is the David Davis campaign website?
I hope that David Davis gets his own personal website, and very soon. Whatever anyone thinks of his decision to stand down and fight a by-election, there is no point in taking this action, if people cannot see exactly what it is he stands for. For now, the best online references are a couple of articles he has written for newspapers such as the Guardian and the Telegraph (see below).
In the meantime, it looks like he has stirred up much more interest in the 42 days of debate among Internet users. Before Wednesday evening, the largest anti-42 days group on Facebook had just 43 members. The “against 42 days” group now has 1675 members, with over 1000 members also joining the “Fight for freedom — support David Davis” group.
Update Monday morning - now over 2,3000 members on the “against 42 days” Facebook group.

Despite Labour’s insistence that the public is overwhelmingly in support of 42 day internment…sorry - I mean detention, the blogsphere would indicate otherwise. Mr Davis needs to capitalise on this as soon as possible and get a site to coordinate his campaign. The lack of one might prove just how spontaneous his decision really was - or perhaps indicate his political tenacity? Time will tell.
I, for one, would like to post him a modest cheque for his campaign, but can I find where to send it? I shall continue my online trawl - any help appreciated.
I hope that other Labour MPs like Bob Marshall-Andrews follow their own moral compass and get there backsides to Haltemprice and Howden.
