Bad Things To Do
…Eating a bar of Maya Gold Green & Blacks before setting off on an afternoon of programming.
My comments are frightening. My code only slightly less so.
Hurrah for the House of Lords once again! You know, I'd have somewhat more respect for the Government if they dropped some of their disingenuous. "Passports are voluntary!" they cry, knowing full well that the amount of foreign travel that Britons do means that they're really not. And they provide an easy way of filling an unpopular database.
Will the Government use the Parliament Act more than all other previous Governments combined? It's looking likely.
But, final good news for the day from Newsarama!

My new favourite hobby is spotting the number of times Charles Clarke refers to "the elected chamber" or "frustrating the will of the people" or some similar bit of sledgehammer, demagogue politicking. In fact his new-found eagerness to remind us at every opportunity that he was elected and the nasty toff Lords weren't is matched only by Brown's sudden burst of Britishness - apparently ID cards can now represent "the British way" of doing things, would you believe - which is sure to come to an end only when he takes Sarah back to Scotland to give birth....

Awww, poor Charles. "The will of the people" indeed. Besides, aren't the Lords helping by making sure Labour upholds its manifesto pledge? ;)
