DISQUS

Ed · 2 years ago

This is sheer idiocy and poor journalism. For anyone to claim the bill was sneaked through at the "very end of a busy parliamentary day" is pathetic - it was a Friday afternoon... it can't get any quieter in Parliament.

Then you have Norman Baker complaining. All he needed to do was shout "Object" and the Bill would have been denied a second reading without debate and would go to the back of the queue again. Surely one MP, good and true, could have been there to do the honours?

Personally, I don't think this will go anywhere. Now that some noise has been generated, there will be the necessary opposition at report stage to kill the bill.

I hope you're right, Ed.

Well, I live in David Cameron's constituency, and I'm going to be complaining to him about this.
