On a rare escape from Parliament I found myself in one of the leafier London streets. What was really notable was how professionally the tress had been pollarded over the years. No branches were overhanging gardens creating gloom and none of the trees were  butchered to a stump. Instead healthy trees bloomed in keeping with the houses they stand next to. Looking at Kilton Hill and other tree lined streets locally it is a lesson we need to learn. Good regular pollarding allows us to keep tress without causing grief for those living alongside. Time for some common sense please.

The judges were at it again this week. A major Muslim security threat and troublemaker was let out on bail by an immigration judge. This man cannot be deported to Jordan because they might torture him. What rubbish. Jordan is a very civilised country and they seem to want to prosecute this man. Well let them.  Every week we hear judges attacking the government for its dealings with potential terrorists. They lecture Parliament on how it is their role to defend the law. So it is, but not to make the law.

Whether it is 42 day detention without trial, deporting troublemakers or keeping criminals in jail, if the judges believe that they should make the law rather than people like me then let us have all the judges stand for Parliament.

Apparently there is tremendous concern out there about the detention of potential terrorists and David Davis is wanting a new mandate on this and opposing CCTV cameras. What? I have lots of areas that will be happy to have the CCTV cameras that Mr Davis does not want. And I voted without hesitation for the 42 days.

In the second world war, Japanese and Germans were interned without trial. Today it is a war on terrorists. The civil liberties of the people of Bassetlaw include having protection by CCTV from thugs, thieves and vandals and  being able to go to Meadowhall or London without being blown up by terrorist bombs. I see no need to copy Mr David Davis's gimmick and  resign and fight a by-election on my support for 42 days, but it is without question a fundamental issue. I will continue to stand up and be counted when it comes to action to counter terrorism.
