Of course if your mental responses are that slow

I will let that pass without comment Don dear.

A surprise that takes three years (two of them spent in consultation with everybody apparently but you)

That did not happen though Don, did it!?
Dear David Cameron announced his determination to rush it through just this year.
A "consultation" was attempted that was a complete shambles, and the proposed legislation was so shambolic that it all had to be changed making the shambolic "consultation" irrelevant anyway!

And you are happy with that Don?
I think that a very sensitive issue that involves strong feelings and deeply held convictions on both sides should be treated with a little more gravitas and respect.
Don't you Don?

A happy New Year to you and all the Ts anyway.
Catch you next year.
