Anyone sought proper legal advice yet, from a real libel lawyer?EdThu, 15 Feb 2007 14:54:26 -0000http://martinstabe.disqus.com/how_the_foi_amendment_bill_slipped_through/#comment-1928264This 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.<br><br>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?<br><br>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.EdThu, 25 Jan 2007 09:10:27 -0000
