Luke Akehurst, a Nu-Labour activist and councillor, has endeared himself to the blogosphere - NOT! What has he done, I can hear you say? Well he made this suggestion on his blog in response to the David Davis resignation over the civil liberties erosion:

Maybe instead of Labour fielding a candidate in Haltemprice & Howden we should find a Martin Bell type candidate - preferably a recently retired senior police officer, or a survivor or relative of a victim of a terrorist attack, to run under the following 5 word candidate description: “Independent - for detaining terrorism suspects”.

An idea so immorally abhorrent that his blog post has been deluged by comment after comment decrying his stance. Rachel, one of the people passing comment and a victim of the 7/7 bombings, made a strong case for why this view was so wrong. There is also other touching stories about terrorist atrocities in the comments, all made by people equally outrage with Luke’s idea. Well worth a read through.

Last time I checked the police force weren’t too happy with Nu-Labour, so I can’t see an ex-copper being that happy to stand up for the immoral goings on of the last weeks or two. Perhaps Luke should ask Jacqui Smith about her big day out at the Police Federation Conference! I wonder if the other ass-hole she was torn on that day has healed up yet?

One of his supporters even tried to suggest someone like Colonel Tim Collins, as a candidate. Newsflash Luke’s supporter, he’s campaigning alright, but alas it will be on the side of freedom, justice and liberty… and oh, that’s David Davis’ side in case you are too stupid to know what’s being hinted at here.

John Smeaton’s name was also in the frame on various blogs for a short time. I sent a strongly worded email to the Smeato to say why this was a VERY, VERY bad idea. Hopefully many other people did likewise and ensured he saw sense in this matter. It is being reported that he has now declared no interest in opposing David Davis.

So, in the spirit of the NewPortCity blog, I present to you Luke Akehurst…

Even better, he followed it up with this blog post, where he tries to say where he leads with ideas others follow. Personally, I don’t think using the views of a Daily Mirror article as proof that this is a good idea is a sound strategy to defuse this issue.

Since Luke is struggling to find someone, may I suggest we dig up one of the 7/7 victims and use the dead rotting corpse in the anti-Davis marketing campaign. Proof positive that 42 days is needed. The grave diggers have been busy and we’ve managed to find you a suitable 7/7 victim.
