Comments on: Sexual Orientation Regulations - the last rites in the Commons http://www.johnredwoodsdiary.com/2007/03/20/sexual-orientation-regulations-the-last-rites-in-the-commons/ Conservative Party Member of Parliament for Wokingham Sun, 12 Oct 2008 02:37:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Eric Jacobson http://www.johnredwoodsdiary.com/2007/03/20/sexual-orientation-regulations-the-last-rites-in-the-commons/#comment-1227 Eric Jacobson Fri, 23 Mar 2007 08:13:03 +0000 http://www.johnredwoodsdiary.com/?p=165#comment-1227 "It will leave a nasty feeling amongst many that Parliament is being badly treated by this government, so the legitimate concerns and arguments of people in our society cannot be expressed and properly considered." Precisely. The damage to Parliament's 'repute' aside, the distasteful example of how the SORs were rammed through is not going to do anything to convince the electorate that their opinions are heeded at all by Government; and that belief appears to be creating growing cynicism and apathy amongst the general public. “It will leave a nasty feeling amongst many that Parliament is being badly treated by this government, so the legitimate concerns and arguments of people in our society cannot be expressed and properly considered.”

The damage to Parliament’s ‘repute’ aside, the distasteful example of how the SORs were rammed through is not going to do anything to convince the electorate that their opinions are heeded at all by Government; and that belief appears to be creating growing cynicism and apathy amongst the general public.

Crime? PAH! If the Public can't behave themselves then why should Labour demean themselves by interfering in their affairs? High Taxes? HMPH! Better that Labour have the money than the bigots, who would only waste it all on plasmas, football, excessive amounts of groceries and other such fripparies. Europe? If the swines can't embrace Europe, it just proves their bias!
