It's chapter and verse on how a law was passed, contrary to the overwhelming objections from those it would affect, utilising extraordinarily manipulated statistics; intentional exclusion of anyone who raised objection; wilful distortions of fact; hideous arrogance; and bastardisation of democratic process. All in the face of evidence from other countries that the law quite simply doesn't work as intended.
Remember that this was passed in this country, not a banana republic. And it was passed last year, not in the dusky parliamentary times when Old Etonians did as they damn well pleased.
The whole sorry catastrophe is catalogued in 39 simple-to-digest pages HERE - I urge you to read it.
Do also remember three things:
1) That this is merely one tiny area of government policy where mendacity has been used to drive legislation.
2) That just one MP is standing in the way of this nonsense being repealed ... in a government which is boasting of a Great Repeal Bill.
3) That ... are you absolutely sure, after reading the report, that you haven't been lied to consistently by MPs before?
Thoughts?
