Oh, bugger

I’ve just realised, no Life on Mars tonight. And me with my eyes feeling a bit better, too.

This is absolutely outrageous

This, even from the government of one such as His Holiness, is so outrageous I am almost speechless:

The boring title of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill hides an astonishing proposal. It gives ministers power to alter any law passed by Parliament. The only limitations are that new crimes cannot be created if the penalty is greater than two years in prison and that it cannot increase taxation. But any other law can be changed, no matter how important. All ministers will have to do is propose an order, wait a few weeks and, voilà, the law is changed.
