Date: Sunday, March 11th, 2012 07:18 am (UTC)Yes, this. Plus:
1) Turns out from Nick's Q and A that he's quite happy to use the rear view mirror when talking about Lasbour's record in Government, just not ours (I am David Matthewman'e complete lack of surprise).
2) Calling the Emergency motion, as they have, 'Protecting the NHS: The Shirley Williams Motion' is possibly the most desperate measure yet. If you have to name a much-loved and respected member of the Lib Dems in the title of the sodding motion, it gives the impression that the actual content of the motion may not be all that persuasive. I suppose we should be grateful that they didn't call it the 'Viv Bingham Would Have Supported This You Heartless Bastards' motion.
3) The motion itself sets a new low benchmark for what constitutes an 'emergency'. I'm sure it won't stop FCC ruling out awkward subjects in the future, but it damn well should do.
4) It'll probably pass. I might even vote for it, depending on who says what in the debate, although I'm not currently inclined to. The NHS won't end because of it; it might even be better in some places.
5) Some of the Glee Club songs relating to the Merger and making concessions to those in those dangerous right-wingers from the SDP were sung with extra feeling last night. ;-)
