Subject: RE: Licensing Bill moves on -OUR FUTURE
Given that the Lords have just about wrecked the bill there are dangers that Howells will rally MPs to his cause by pointing out what the effects will be. Could I invite you to look to (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/2842595.stm). Good read.
I think we need to think of a way of plea bargining to get what we want in exchange for a less completely wrecked bill because of the dangers of the government starting again in the commons.
Personally I think the Government will want us all to be seat belted into our armchairs, wearing crash helmets, knitting with blunt, sound profed needles, making fair isle jumpers, watching 1920's movies, then dropping dead suddenly one month before we draw our pensions with no dependants, no will and any assets going to the treasury!
