Welcome to my campaign against the government's assault on British liberty.
 
On 12 June, I announced my intention to resign from Parliament, in disgust and dismay at the manner in which Gordon Brown bought and bullied his way to forcing through the vote on 42 days pre-charge detention.

42 days imprisonment - without knowing the charges you face - is a draconian measure that both undermines our fundamental freedoms, and jeopardises our security.  But the issue runs far deeper. Whether it is talking tough on terror, the rise of the database state or the growth of a surveillance society, the size, role and reach of government is now out of control. This government increasingly treats our fundamental freedoms with disdain. I believe it is time to take a stand.

In the few days since I announced my resignation, I have been overwhelmed by the public response. I have received thousands of communications, from across the country. I set up this website to provide a focal point for my campaign. I hope you can let me know your views on these important issues.

I look forward to hearing from you.
