Hunting Bill

[juliet]

(information from arkady - can't yet find anything online & don't have a radio/TV here)

Update: Below does not seem to be accurate after all, according to folk watching it on Parliament Live. Bother. So back to keeping thumbs crossed....

Further update: Hurrah, it has now passed after all. Yay.

The Hunting Bill has passed with a majority of 182.

Hurrah.

(though it's not over yet, etc - I *assume* it was passed with the 18 month delay in implementation, but it's likely that the Lords won't pass the Bill which I believe means it would go back to the original 3-month delay in implementation. And that's assuming they use the Parliament Act, though I can't imagine that they would go through all the kerfuffle of bringing it back & then *not* use the PA).

Still hurrah :-)

I tell you what, if anyone in the Commons was on the fence, those tossers who got inside will have done plenty to sway them!

Way to cause harm to your own cause, chaps!

Shouting abuse at passers-by and the police, and throwing bottles, and getting really drunk in all the pubs around Westminster, won't help either.
