That's incredible. Amazing analogy with 17th-century suspension of habeas corpus by Lord Clarendon. As Ronson points out, the outrage felt then was at a time before universal suffrage, in a country that was not a democracy. It's somewhat ironic that the supposed champion of democracy should be the one to decide habeas corpus was superfluous to requirements.
