Wildy OT, but important

Dunno if anybody's seen this bill that's going through parliament just now:

http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmbills/111/06111.1-4.html

It's a piece of enabling legislation which basically allows the government
to nod *any* change of legislation through with simply select committee
(i.e. Government Crony) approval.

A far better summary of the impact than I could write can be found at

http://oldmotherchaos.livejournal.com/65547.html

There is a structured campaign against this piece of legislation which can
be found at:

For the sake of all that's good please write to your local MP, Judge,
Newspaper, any Lords you know and fight to have this killed.

Yer not wrong. It's typical of the underhand way this current government is
prone to operate.

I shall be writing to the MP pronto, thanks for the heads-up.

I agree, it's an appalling piece of proposed legislation and I have already
written to my M.P. to say so. Let's do all we can to get it voted down!!
