Abolition of Parliament Bill

[ciphergoth]

I thought word of this had already spread far and wide, but it seems not to have reached everyone, so here it is. Bizarrely, a bill nicknamed the "Abolition of Parliament Bill" that (indirectly) gives ministers the power to abolish Parliament and seize dictatorial powers in perpituity has not received much press attention.

This is being rushed through Parliament with one hour for debate. I kid you not.

We've not quite moved, but we will be doing so in the next 3 weeks - month. Our landlord and landlady have had unexpected financial trauma and need to reclaim our flat. Luckily we'll only be shifting a bit further up to Streatham Hill, perfectly within reach for Sunday lunches, last minute outings, picnics on the common and much more :-)
