This topic has already been covered incredibly well by other people so I’m actually going to just link to them, adding my voice to the many disappointed but not at all surprised voices responding to Mr Cleggs “shock” revelation that having asked the public for comment on what laws to repeal/amend he’s as much intention of listening as the last lot did with the “petitions to number 10”. Which is of course to say none at all – it would seem that the consultation is once more just a way to have some useful “quotes from the public” to wave around when they impose what ever they’ve already decided to impose on us – though not of course themselves as the most popular law to amend is the smoking ban which doesn’t apply in the palace of Westminster.
Anyway go and read the following for far better commentary.
Dick Puddlecote – Great repeal swindle
Taking Liberties – Your Freedom, His choice
and of course:
LegIron – Nick’s Nasties get a boost from their master
update: Snowolf’s – the one that was waiting is also a good read on the matter.
