What a bloody farce.
Thanks for the reminder. I had read about this a while ago but clean forgot about it all. Quite how they would enforce this is beyond me.

What a load of tosh. In theory, certain apects are a good idea, however, as mentioned within the bill, it is far to broad.
And again, because of a few idiots, everybody would look to suffer.
It wouldn't be able to pass with its current content, purely because of the implications that it would propose within motorsport which, could, be a loss of tax money.

It could pass Lloyd. That's the whole reason they're proposing it.
I had a reply from Christopher Fraser, MP for South West Norfolk, this morning and I was encouraged to read the contents. The long and short of it is the Owen Paterson, the Shadow roads minister, is in opposition to the bill, he's already spoken against it at the second reading and will continue to do so. Letters like mine will be collated and forwarded to the transport minister for their consideration. The jist of it is that Mr Fraser believes that the bill will not reach the statute books in its current form with sustained and continued opposition from people like us.
