There is nothing irrational about hating a person who stands in the way of the pale shadow of democracy we have kicking about this country. I don’t need to watch the debate to find that out.

The Government rarely adopt measures from Private Member’s Bills. It is too embarrassing for a single MP to come up with a better idea than the
collective Executive.

If something is in a Friday Bill, it isn’t really serious. All such a bill does is give a few MPs something to whitter about on telly and make their consitiuents feel represented, which is infinately more helpful in the long run than having them legislate.

I encourage you to follow the debate when it happens. By the end, I predict you will have developed an irrational, seething hatred for Eric Forth, MP for Bromley and Chislehurst, aka “Kill Bill”.

I think the point is to try to increase support for the measures in the bill so that the government adopts them for their own health related bill that’s due through soon.

It has not yet received a Second Reading. It is not in the House business for the post-recess week.
